Job Description:

In Search of an Account Manager, To Help Grow the BusinessA cancer diagnosis thrusts people into a new, incredibly difficult world. Patients immediately need to find the right physician for their diagnosis and treatment - a decision that can be a matter of life and death. They must figure out how to stay financially solvent while incurring new costs and missing work, and must navigate the incredibly difficult challenge of working while dealing with the disease. We founded Cancer Study Group to improve the lives of cancer patients and help them through this difficult time.Our path to reaching patients is through their employers. Across the past year, we have built a membership of 25 of the largest companies in the country, companies that care deeply about their employees through cancer. We partner with these companies to study cancer in their populations, and to give them the smartest strategies for helping their people with the disease. Through our research, we can help thousands of cancer patients every year.How Our Work Can Help Employees with CancerA health benefits leader at a large company may be managing healthcare for hundreds - if not thousands - of new cancer patients every year. These benefits leaders, and their companies, are in a unique position to help their cancer patients. They control the health insurance plan; can set up support services for their people; and can improve the day-to-day experience of their cancer patients while at work. The question for these benefits leaders is - what should we do to help our cancer patients?Through deep research (interviews with cancer patients; deep listening with oncology experts; etc.), we study the most important challenges cancer patients face, and write research reports and presentations on the smartest strategies for helping people through cancer. We study topics such as:* Catching Cancers Early: How companies can help employees find cancers before it's too late.* Getting to the Right Experts: Strategies companies can put in place to get every employee to the doctor who will give them their best shot at making it through cancer.* Racial Disparities: How companies can combat racial disparities in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and support.The 'Account Manager' Role, With More DetailIn our first year of operation (2020), we set up partnerships with 25 of the largest companies in the country. This year the company will triple in size; by the end of the year, we will be serving 75 large companies and their employees. This expansion - led by our growth team - will help us improve the lives of an ever-growing number of cancer patients.With this Account Manager position, we are hoping to find someone with extreme talent who can be the face of the business, the driving force behind our expansion and growth.

Our hope, and our commitment, is to pair that autonomy with the trust, support, and resources to help each person grow quickly and succeed.The Account Manager position lends itself particularly well to fast personal growth and development.
