Job description

At Medirion, we are developing an AI-powered thermography platform for the early triage of rheumatoid arthritis. By combining standardized thermal imaging, clinical data and AI, we aim to help healthcare providers identify patients who require specialist care earlier.

With clinical data collection already running across multiple partner clinics, we are now preparing Medirion for its next stage of international growth.

Your Role

As Head of International Commercial Development & Partnerships, you will build the foundations for Medirion’s commercial expansion beyond Germany.

Working closely with our CEO, CCO and Head of Go-to-Market Strategy, you will:

• Prioritise international markets based on clinical need, market access, reimbursement and commercial potential
• Build relationships with leading rheumatology clinics, KOLs and strategic healthcare partners
• Establish and manage an international clinical and commercial partnership pipeline
• Map reimbursement pathways and payer stakeholders in priority markets
• Translate market insights into country-specific entry strategies
• Develop early clinical relationships into long-term commercial partnerships

Nice to have: experience with reimbursement and payer landscapes, rheumatology or diagnostics networks, clinical partnerships, international market entry or previous commercial leadership.

We offer long-term incentives including equity participation, a transparent path toward competitive compensation, direct access to experienced clinical and industry advisors, and the opportunity to build an international network across clinics, healthcare partners and investors.

Location: Flexible, with a preference for candidates based near North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Let’s transform the future of healthcare together.
