Overview
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.

Responsibilities

Lead the division: Act as the senior clinical leader for the Obesity & Metabolic Health division, accountable for the clinical quality, safety and performance of services delivered within the division.

Lead divisional clinical quality, safety and 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 Quality & Risk function: Collaborate closely with the Director of Quality & Risk to embed Voy's framework within your division, proactively managing risks, incidents, and audits while driving continuous organisational learning and regulatory 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 optimise 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: This is a hybrid position on a full-time basis, based out of our London office.

Qualifications

Individually contributing leader: Move from strategy to execution with urgency and creativity, producing high-quality outputs without needing to be micro-managed.

Adaptable & intellectually curious: Strong medical background and cognitive agility to quickly master obesity care, digital health trends, and emerging treatments (GLP-1/GIP therapies).

Master communicator: Natural presence, authority, and charisma to represent Voy in high-stakes media, industry, and professional settings.

Cross-functional collaborator: Influence and speak the language of product managers, data scientists, and commercial teams, balancing clinical safety with commercial feasibility.

Experienced clinician: 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.
