• A proven track record modernising and scaling complex platforms, ideally with experience in healthcare-grade interoperability or Salesforce ecosystems.

• Demonstrated success delivering AI/ML, analytics, or decision-support solutions that unlock value for clinicians and patients.
• Experience leading distributed teams and shaping high-performance cultures grounded in excellence, empathy, and mission-driven work.
• Outstanding communication and stakeholder engagement skills—you can bring clarity to complex environments and inspire confidence across clinical and commercial teams.

Bonus Points

• Experience building or evolving data-driven products in Medtech, digital health, or other highly regulated industries.
