Job Details
The OnKai Health Foundation is a new nonprofit that is disrupting the healthcare industry by changing the way underserved communities access the resources they need to support health and well-being. An integral component of the OnKai ecosystem, the OnKai Health Foundation seeks to build a future where health equity is a tangible reality. It does so by harnessing the power of the HelloKaiTM artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform to channel technology and financial resources efficiently, effectively, and directly to free and affordable health clinics and healthcare professionals serving marginalized populations throughout the United States. Through the power of AI, the HelloKai platform uses a data-driven approach to distribute funds and in-kind resources directly to those in need and continuously measures outcomes to capture the tangible impact of each allocated resource.
The inaugural Chief Executive Officer will be an authentic storyteller, entrepreneurial visionary, exceptional fundraiser, systems-oriented implementer, and an innovative strategist who will drive the co-creation of the OnKai Health Foundation’s vision and strategic plan. They will set clear strategic priorities and goals, formulate and execute new revenue generation strategies, establish effective and efficient operating frameworks, and stay agile to pivot in response to external conditions and impact data. The CEO will bring a nuanced, asset-based understanding of the societal factors that influence health, including an understanding of the intersectionality with DEIBJ concepts and the experiences of people with marginalized identities.
They will be able to inspire others to support the organization. They will bring exceptional communications skills, sales and fundraising expertise, team management and leadership, and an entrepreneurial mindset to elevate the Foundation’s mission, visibility, and impact, and nurture connectivity and culture among the team and key stakeholders.
