Job description

Overview

CEO // Revolutionise IVF with Microfluidics // MedTech // Leeds, Hybrid

You are a commercially minded leader who has scaled a MedTech business. You have taken a medical device to market, built teams, and developed investor relationships to fundraise.

What is your next step? Do you want to take on the challenge of cutting the cost of IVF by up to 50% per patient?

We are working with an IVF MedTech start-up that has just raised a £4 million seed fund. They are looking to hire a Chief Executive Officer to take their patented, scalable, and cost-effective microfluidics technology through FDA clearance and commercial launch. Their device optimises embryo culturing, significantly increasing embryo yields.

You will convert potential into reality, taking a patented technology and putting it into the hands of patients. You will scale a MedTech from a handful of people to a dozen and beyond. You will lead their team through clinical, regulatory and commercial validation.

Your work will be of real value to the next generation of mothers.
