Company Overview Function is how you manage your lifelong health. The mission is to empower 8 billion people to live 100 healthy years. We've created a new category in health. Named a TIME100 Most Influential Company. Raised $350M from investors ranging from a16z to Kevin Hart. We started with lab testing three years ago and are quickly building a full-stack health system.

Function now reaches over a million people owning their health in a current way — far beyond biohackers and health nuts. It's popular coast to coast, across a wide range of incomes. Function is $1 a day, for what could otherwise cost thousands and be accessible only to a select few.

We're growing our team very selectively. World-class talent only. You must be driven by the mission to materially impact how people live globally. The right person has a bias toward action and a growth mindset. There's no time to waste, and hard work is required. The reward is career-defining purpose and upside.

Role Function Health is hiring a Director, Strategy and Operations to serve as the strategic and operational engine behind the Marketing & Communications organization. This role is part chief of staff, part strategist, part operator: you'll own the planning cadence, budget, and prioritization process for the function, build the systems and tools that let the team move fast,
