Description

The Opportunity
Voy is redefining weight management at scale, combining cutting-edge digital innovation with evidence-based clinical care. As our Medical Director for Obesity and Metabolic Health, you will shape the clinical future of one of the UK’s fastest-growing digital health services. You will define how evidence-based obesity care is delivered at scale, helping thousands of patients access safe, effective, and sustainable treatment through technology-enabled healthcare.

As the most senior clinical voice for this division, you will own both high-level strategy and day-to-day clinical integrity. This is not a passive, purely managerial role. We are looking for an intellectually curious, highly motivated leader who loves to execute. You don’t need to be a lifelong specialist in obesity or metabolic health—but you must be a sharp, agile clinician who can rapidly master the clinical landscape, command a room, and hold your own with regulators, media, and internal teams alike.

You will act as a trusted clinical partner and right-hand to our CMO, stepping up to provide leadership continuity during their absence, while serving as the public face of Voy’s metabolic division.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead the Division: Act as the ultimate clinical lead for the metabolic and obesity health division, ensuring day-to-day safety, clinical quality, and the execution of our weight management strategy.
  • Own Clinical Governance: Keep our clinical engine watertight. You’ll maintain governance processes, pathways, and SOPs, leading audits, incident reviews, and ensuring DCB0129 compliance.
  • Partner with the CMO: Drive follow-through on CMO priorities at pace. You will draft high-quality briefing notes, decision papers, and step into the CMO role seamlessly during periods of absence.
  • Drive Digital & Product Innovation: Partner cross-functionally with product, data, and coaching teams to design and optimize digital interventions, patient pathways, and behavioural support programs.
  • External Affairs & Thought Leadership: Serve as Voy’s primary external clinical spokesperson. You’ll represent the business in the media, at industry conferences, and with regulators, shaping a responsible public narrative around metabolic health.
  • Personally Execute: Roll up your sleeves. You will personally lead and deliver high-priority clinical projects rather than just overseeing them, moving from strategy to execution quickly.
  • Hybrid working: We believe that the future of healthcare is digital, but the future of our team relies on strong, in-person collaboration. Therefore, this is a hybrid position on a full-time basis, based out of our London office.

Who You Are
  • An Individually Contributing Leader: You move from strategy to execution with urgency and creativity, producing high-quality outputs without needing to be micro-managed.
  • Adaptable & Intellectually Curious: You have a strong medical background and the cognitive agility to quickly master obesity care, digital health trends, and emerging treatments (GLP-1/GIP therapies).
  • A Master Communicator: You possess the natural presence, authority, and charisma to represent Voy in high-stakes media, industry, and professional settings.
  • A Cross-Functional Collaborator: You easily influence and speak the language of product managers, data scientists, and commercial teams, balancing clinical safety with commercial feasibility.
  • An Experienced Clinician: You are a GMC-registered medical professional with experience owning clinical governance and safety in a complex healthcare environment. (Experience specific to metabolic health is a plus, but a driving, go-getter attitude is mandatory).

What Success Looks Like
  • The metabolic and obesity division has clear clinical leadership and strong day-to-day clinical running.
  • BAU clinical governance is reliable, well-documented, and continuously improving.
  • Clinical risks are identified early, managed effectively, and escalated appropriately.
  • Product and service changes are clinically sound, evidence-based, and implemented safely.
  • The CMO has a trusted clinical partner who meaningfully increases medical leadership capacity and executes on important priorities.
  • There is genuine continuity of medical leadership when the CMO is away.
  • Voy has a credible, responsible, and influential external clinical voice in obesity and metabolic health.
  • Patient outcomes, safety, quality, and service performance improve over time.
  • The Medical Director is seen internally as a senior clinical leader who gets things done.

What we offer
  • Share options
  • Private medical insurance
  • Gym & wellness benefit with Wellhub
  • Hybrid role based in London Bridge 3 days a week
  • Lunch once a week
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Electric car scheme
  • 25 days holidays and generous parental leave & flexible working policies
