Job description

We are a fast-growing European healthcare company operating at the intersection of medical cannabis, digital health, and regulated healthcare services. With a strong, profitable core business in Europe, centralized group functions (including procurement, finance, supply chain, and quality/regulatory), and a proven operational backbone, we are now building a scalable UK-based clinic and technology platform.

Our ambition is to redefine patient access, experience, and outcomes by tightly integrating technology, clinical workflows, and data-driven growth.

Tasks

As Managing Director & Co-Founder UK, your primary mission is to build and scale our UK clinic and digital health platform. While group-level functions such as finance, procurement, supply chain and regulatory are centrally managed, you will own the commercial, clinical, and digital growth engine of the UK business.

You will combine entrepreneurial leadership with deep operational understanding of healthcare delivery, patient journeys, and tech-enabled growth models.

Key Responsibilities

UK Business & Platform Build-up

• Build, lead, and scale the UK clinic and technology platform
• Full ownership of UK performance, growth, and execution (P&L accountability)
• Build and manage high-performing teams across clinical operations, tech, marketing, and partnerships

Clinics, Healthcare Operations & NHS Interface

• Scale private clinic models in a regulated UK healthcare environment
• Establish and manage touchpoints and collaboration models with the NHS
• Design and optimize clinical workflows, prescription processes, and care delivery models
• Build and leverage a strong doctors’ network and establish scalable prescribing workflows

Patient Experience & Growth

• End-to-end responsibility for patient onboarding, journey, support, retention, and lifetime value
• Continuous optimization of patient experience through process design, data, and technology
• Ensure clinical quality and patient trust while scaling volume

Digital Growth, Tech & Marketing

• Responsibility for performance marketing, digital acquisition, traffic generation, and patient growth
• Drive data-driven growth, funnel optimization, and conversion across all digital channels
• Ensure tight integration of tech platform, marketing stack, and healthcare processes
• Act as the key interface between product, tech, marketing, and clinical operations

Partnerships & Commercial Development

• Build and manage strategic healthcare, technology, and distribution partnerships
• Drive B2B relationships where relevant (e.g. wholesale, ecosystem partners)
• Represent the company externally with credibility and entrepreneurial authority

Requirements

• Senior entrepreneurial leader with a proven track record in scaling healthcare, clinics, or digital health platforms
• Strong experience in private clinic scaling and healthcare operations
• Demonstrated touchpoints with the NHS, commissioners, or NHS-adjacent models
• Deep understanding of patient journeys, clinical workflows, and healthcare economics
• Strong background in performance marketing, digital acquisition, and data-driven growth
• Ability to tightly integrate tech, marketing, and healthcare processes
• Decisive, hands‑on, resilient, and execution‑focused
• Trusted leader with high integrity and ownership mindset
• Fluent English (business‑native level)

Nice to Have

• Experience in cannabis, pharma, healthcare, or other regulated industries
• Prior exposure to international expansion or UK market build‑ups
• Established network of doctors, clinics, or healthcare stakeholders in the UK
• Experience in the UK market or deep UK healthcare system expertise

Benefits

• True Co‑Founder role with material equity and long‑term value creation
• Clear strategic focus with strong group‑level operational backbone
• High degree of autonomy, trust, and decision‑making authority
• Opportunity to build a category‑defining clinic & tech platform in the UK
• Close collaboration with experienced founders and shareholders
• Performance‑driven, entrepreneurial culture with high standards

If you are a smart, decisive, and entrepreneurial leader who wants to build something substantial in a regulated, high-impact industry, we look forward to connecting.
