Job description

Head of Clinical Deployment | Digital Health | Remote-first, UK | Competitive salary + equity

Zest Scientific are supporting an AI-led digital health company with real momentum to hire a Head of Clinical Deployment.

This is a key early hire. You’ll build their deployment strategy from the ground up - first across the NHS, private and research settings in the UK, then into international markets, starting with the US.

The Company

They’ve built a platform that lets health innovators turn evidence-based ideas into real digital health programmes, without needing to code. It works like a set of building blocks - one regulated platform that can be shaped around very different conditions, pathways and populations.

Behind it is a blend of behavioural science, clinical expertise, technology and user-centred design, all built to meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.

And there’s real momentum. The founder has done this before, having previously scaled a digital health programme nationally across the NHS. The business was recently selected for a major global AI-in-healthcare accelerator, has strong research and NHS partnerships, and is backed by senior advisers from global healthcare.

The next chapter, AI-enabled products and international expansion, is just getting started.

The Role

• Lead the deployment of regulated digital health programmes into live NHS, private and research settings
• Make each programme fit real clinical workflows, from referral and onboarding to escalation
• Own go-lives end to end: site readiness, training, launch and early issue resolution
• Drive patient and clinician adoption using engagement, retention and outcome data
• Ensure safe delivery alongside clinical and regulatory colleagues
• Build a repeatable deployment playbook for new programmes, sites and countries

• A proven track record of taking digital health products live in the UK, ideally within the NHS
• Experience building implementation processes from scratch, not just following them
• An understanding of clinical safety and regulated digital health (e.g. DCB0129/0160, DTAC, SaMD)
• Confident using data to improve uptake and outcomes after launch
• Comfortable in a lean, fast-moving early-stage business
• A clinical background, or experience in women’s health or behavioural programmes, would be a bonus

The Benefits

• Competitive salary plus equity
• Remote-first working, with travel to partner sites
• Learning and development budget, plus international conferences
• A senior role shaping the function from day one, with a clear path into international expansion
