Description

About Assured Allies Assured Allies is on a mission to help people age well. Our NeverStop program is an innovative digital health intervention that leverages AI coaching and evidence-based behavioral design to reduce long-term disability risk- delivered to members through premier employer and insurance carrier partners. About The Role We are seeking a rigorous and strategic Clinical Science Lead to serve as the scientific backbone of NeverStop - a mission-driven wellness platform helping people age well. We take a holistic approach to aging, supporting physical resilience, cognitive health, emotional wellbeing, and long-term functional independence. This is more than a research role. You'll translate complex wellness and health data into actionable product logic - owning our risk reduction metrics, AI-driven guardrails, and the clinical evidence that makes our outcomes provable to partners and carriers. You'll combine the analytical mindset of an epidemiologist or outcomes researcher with a business-oriented, cross-functional approach to deliver real clinical impact. What You’ll Be Working On: Measurement & risk metrics Design the system that translates member data into clinical risk scores — defining what "better" looks like and making it provable. Clinical safety & guardrails Define the boundaries that keep the AI coach off medical advice - escalation logic, safety thresholds, and clinical grid governance. Clinical feature logic Define the algorithmic and clinical logic behind our product features - intervention matching, domain weighting, and recommendation engine - in close collaboration with product and engineering. Scientific validation The scientific authority on what goes into the product - evidence standards and the evidentiary foundation behind every clinical claim. Thought leadership White papers, carrier outcome reports, and industry positioning that translate our clinical rigor into external credibility. What are we looking for: Advanced degree (M.Sc./M.A. with thesis or PhD) in one of the following fields - Epidemiology, Medical Sciences, Neuroscience, or a related field. 3+ years of industry experience in digital health, outcomes research, or health economics- including mandatory experience working inside a fast-paced commercial/startup company where health/Wellness is the core product. Proven experience as a sole functional owner ('team of one'), leading through influence across Product and R&D to deliver clinical validation at startup speed Experience in productizing clinical ideas and frameworks and bringing them to market. Proven experience designing clinical measurement frameworks, risk reduction metrics, or psychometric instruments. Highly comfortable working with large datasets; hands-on familiarity with Python or R for metric deep-dives and data analysis is a distinct advantage. Understanding of health insurance dynamics, risk models, or disability/occupational risk frameworks- an advantage Exceptional written and verbal communication skills (fluent English) Passionate about wellness! Location We're hiring this role in either our Needham (Greater Boston area), MA (on a need basis office presence) or Ramat Gan, Israel office (3 days/week hybrid). Occasional travel between sites is required. Why Join Us? Impact That Drives Real Change: Build an AI-driven product that genuinely improves lives. Here, your scientific rigor won’t sit in a research drawer-it will directly shape features that touch thousands of families daily. Redefine the Future of Longevity: Be part of a mission-driven team rewriting the playbook on what “aging well” looks like, blending behavioral science, clinical guardrails, and cutting-edge technology. Rigor Over Vanity Metrics: Work alongside a brilliant, low-ego, cross-functional team of product managers and engineers who value absolute data integrity and provable health outcomes. High Autonomy & Clinical Authority: Own complex, ambiguous problems from day one. You will have the data, trust, and resources needed to build new measurement frameworks from scratch. A Path to Lead: Join a scaling company as a foundational clinical voice. This senior role offers a clear and structured trajectory to lead the clinical science function as we continue to grow.
