Jobbeschreibung

Overview

📍 Location: Hamburg or Berlin | ⏰ Full-time

🌟 Our Mission At coobi, we're on a mission to transform addiction care. Making it more accessible, more personalized, and ultimately more effective. Our platform uses digital biomarkers like heart rate variability, sleep, and stress to detect high-risk moments during recovery. With the help of machine learning, we empower therapists to intervene early and support patients exactly when they need it most.

Join us at this early stage and help build the clinical foundation of a company that will have measurable, lasting impact on individuals, on families, and on the future of mental health care.

💼 What you'll do at coobi:

• Own and scale all clinical operations, including trial design, execution, and regulatory compliance
• Lead partnerships with clinics (public and private), therapists, and research institutions to validate and expand our digital biomarker platform
• Design and manage clinical validation studies in collaboration with our research partner, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg
• Ensure our product meets clinical, ethical, and regulatory standards (MDR, data protection, evidence requirements)
• Conduct user research with therapists and patients to continuously improve clinical workflows and product features
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data science, and sales teams to translate clinical insights into product development and go-to-market strategies
• Represent coobi in clinical and academic settings, including conferences, publications, and stakeholder meetings
• Build processes and documentation that enable us to scale clinical operations as we grow

🤹 We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Psychology, Medicine, Public Health, Clinical Research, or related fields
• 2+ years of experience in clinical operations, customer success, clinical trials, or healthcare program management (startup or scale-up experience is a plus)
• Deep understanding of addiction therapy, mental health care, or digital health interventions
• Fluent in German (native or C1+ level) and strong English skills
• Proven ability to manage complex projects independently, from concept to execution
• Strong stakeholder management skills – you can build trust with clinics, therapists, researchers, and regulators
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and building processes from scratch in a fast-paced startup environment

✨ While not required, it's an added plus if you also have:

• Experience with medical device regulations (MDR) or digital health reimbursement models (DiGA, etc.)
• Background in addiction research or therapy
• Experience working with health insurers or navigating public healthcare systems
• Familiarity with data analysis and clinical outcome measurement
• Published research or clinical trial experience

🤝 Why Join Us:

• Shape the clinical strategy of a high-impact health-tech startup from the ground up
• Build technology that genuinely supports addiction therapy and patient well-being
• Work directly with the founding team and have a voice in company strategy
• Flexible, hybrid working model with competitive compensation and equity options
• Access to Wellpass and other benefits
• Be part of a mission-driven team solving one of the most pressing challenges in mental health care
