🍊Our mission
All new medicines need to undergo clinical trials to show they’re safe and effective. But today’s clinical trial infrastructure is stuck in the past, and the cost of developing new medicines has skyrocketed as a result. Patients have to wait longer and pay more for new treatments.
Our mission is to fix this; we use software to help innovative companies run faster, more reliable, and patient-friendly clinical trials. We’re still a young company, but we’ve already had a big impact. Since founding the company in March 2021 we’ve helped run over 80 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, with a customer NPS of 100.
We recently raised a $18m Series A round from some great investors including Creandum, Peter Thiel and Firstminute to power the next stage of our growth.
🍊About the role
We're looking for a VP Product to build the platform powering the next generation of clinical trials.
Ideally, this is a hybrid role based in our London headquarters but we will consider candidates from anywhere. A relocation package and visa sponsorship is an option if you are not currently in the London area. The whole Product organisation is currently based in the Greater London area with a strong office culture. To effectively manage your team you’ll be expected to have some office presence.
🍊About you
We’d like to hear from you if…
You have worked in product-adjacent roles (product management, engineering, UX, solutions) at startups or scale-ups growing beyond Series A, some of it in a product leadership position. We care most of all about finding the right person to lead our Product function - whether you’ve spent 5 or 20 years in leadership, we want to hear from you!
Ideally you have prior exposure to clinical trials - in any case, you absorb domain knowledge quickly and understand how to harness other people’s expertise
You are an excellent communicator and motivator who can engage stakeholders across the business and rally them behind your plans
You have managed a product team of 4+ and are comfortable engaging product designers as well
You have developed a strong intuition for good UX through hands-on product management on user-facing products
You have an unbounded curiosity about the future of human health and the role clinical trials play in it
You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.
🍊What you’ll focus on
Take charge of our Product function and guide it through growth from Series B to Series C and beyond - you will be part of the exec team and report directly to the CTO/co-founder
Take ownership of the product roadmap for Citrus, our end-to-end trial delivery platform, balancing the needs of different stakeholders, user archetypes (such as patients, clinical staff, customers) and regulatory frameworks
Drive the product strategy together with the CTO/co-founder and other senior stakeholders
Shape product discovery and product development processes, engaging stakeholders across the company in the most effective way, especially Clinical Operations who are a key user of Citrus
Manage individual contributors in the Product function and support their career development (currently 1 Product Manager and 3 Product Designers - your number of direct reports is expected to roughly double within a year)
Oversee organisational design and recruiting for the growing Product function
