About the Role
 
Brillio is seeking an experienced business transformation and product leader to serve as a Forward Deployed Strategist. In this role, you will embed directly within a complex business domain, rapidly understand how the operation works, identify high-value problems, and lead cross-functional teams from problem definition through implementation, adoption, and measurable value realization.The FDS operates at the intersection of business strategy, process design, product, technology, data, organizational change, and executive decision-making. This is not a traditional advisory role that concludes with a recommendation, nor is it a project coordination role centered on schedules and status reporting. You will stay with the problem, shape the future state, work directly with solution builders, drive decisions and adoption, and use evidence to determine whether a solution should scale, change, transfer, pause, or stop.

Preferred Locations: Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas, NYC
 
Job Responsibilities 

Responsibilities

  • Understand business models, workflows, user needs, constraints, and pain points to identify and define the underlying business problem.

  • Identify opportunities to simplify, redesign, automate, or improve workflows and business processes.

  • Translate ambiguous business challenges into clear problem statements, solution concepts, priorities, and actionable plans.

  • Define desired outcomes, scope, success metrics, and roadmaps aligned with customer needs and business objectives.

  • Evaluate and apply AI, automation, and emerging technologies to deliver measurable business value.

  • Lead cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product, data, architecture, operations, compliance, finance, and business teams.

  • Drive execution by managing priorities, dependencies, risks, tradeoffs, and key decisions throughout delivery.

  • Partner with technical teams to address data, integrations, governance, security, scalability, cost, and production requirements.

  • Guide the transition from solution design and development through deployment, adoption, and integration into business operations.

  • Engage stakeholders and end users to gather feedback, improve workflows, and drive organizational change and sustained adoption.

  • Establish ownership, operating processes, and performance measures to ensure solutions deliver lasting value.

  • Track KPIs, business impact, costs, and outcomes post-deployment to identify opportunities for improvement.

  • Communicate results, risks, and lessons learned, making evidence-based recommendations to scale, refine, pause, or discontinue initiatives.

  • Maintain end-to-end accountability from initial discovery through delivery, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.


Required Qualifications
  • Typically 10+ years of relevant experience in strategy, consulting, healthcare transformation, product or capability strategy, operations leadership, technology strategy, or a related field.

  • Proven ability to learn a complex operating model quickly, synthesize input from frontline experts, and build sufficient domain depth to make sound decisions.
  • Experience shaping products, capabilities, workflows, processes, or operating-model changes using user needs, outcomes, roadmaps, priorities, and tradeoffs.
  • Strong business judgment, including the ability to assess value, feasibility, risk, strategic fit, and investment choices when information is incomplete.
  • Executive-level written and verbal communication, facilitation, storytelling, and stakeholder influence without direct authority.
  • Technical fluency across AI, automation, data, software delivery, integration, and enterprise technology, sufficient to work directly with engineering teams and challenge assumptions.
  • Experience establishing business cases, baselines, success measures, and value-realization plans.
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, move from analysis to action, and maintain personal accountability for outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, health services, insurance, regulated operations, or another complex enterprise environment.
  • Background in management consulting, product leadership, digital transformation, enterprise operations, or technology-enabled business transformation.
  • Hands-on experience shaping AI-enabled or data-driven products and workflows, with appropriate consideration for governance, risk, and operating controls.
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary pods or product teams spanning business, engineering, data, architecture, operations, and subject-matter experts.
  • Experience leading proofs of value, pilots, MVPs, or capability launches and using evidence to make scale-or-stop decisions.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
