Our aims are never small and you will help to shape the future of Life Sciences within X PRIZE. Through your efforts, we'll help to accelerate the real-world impact of science, technology, and information related to the worldwide optimization of health and the elimination of illness and disease. You bring to the table not only a creative mindset, but a technical one as well. This means you're able to immediately collaborate with a panel of scientific and entrepreneurial advisors, perform primary and secondary research, convene brainstorming sessions and, in the end, craft compelling prize designs that capture the imagination of the public and garner the commitment of our funders/sponsors and other partners.Incredibly well organized, you can take point and oversee several active competitions and ensure that budgets are in line with expectations, that milestones are being met and that stakeholders are well informed. Your business development skills will also help the Foundation to gain add on business and what you learn on these projects will fuel your creativity as you oversee the design and launch new competitions. In doing so, you'll exhibit the topical thought leadership needed to tap into and into and effectively communicate on highly technical issues with your network of subject matter experts in Life Sciences and Healthcare-related fields.To say that the role is challenging would be an understatement, but the rigors of the work will be balanced by the rewards, recognition and personal gratification it will deliver to someone passionate about our mission.The X PRIZE Foundation is an educational (501c3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, thereby inspiring the formation of new industries and the revitalization of markets that are currently stuck due to existing failures or a commonly held belief that a solution is not possible.
