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.
