The Role
As Founding CMO, you will set the clinical standard for everything we do - from protocol development and lab interpretation to patient safety, regulatory posture, and physician oversight of AI-driven outputs - and you'll help build the business itself. This is a dual mandate: own clinical quality and credibility, and act as a commercial force multiplier, shaping growth strategy, partnerships, and the company's external voice.
You'll work directly with the CEO and product team to translate cutting-edge longevity and functional health science into scalable, defensible clinical workflows - and to turn that clinical edge into a durable commercial advantage.
This role is for a physician who thinks like a builder and an operator. Excited about what AI can do for medicine, deeply skeptical of hype, relentless about getting the evidence right, and energized by the work of growing a company.
What You'll Do
Clinical leadership
- Co-develop and own our clinical protocol framework - biomarker panels, care pathways, and optimization areas (you'll shape this from the ground up)
- Conduct member-facing clinical sessions - consultations, results reviews, and ongoing optimization check-ins
- Review and sign off on AI-generated health reports, maintaining final clinical accountability for all member-facing content
- Build and enforce clinical safety, consent, and escalation frameworks
- Serve as medical reviewer for edge cases, abnormal findings, and high-risk members
- Hire and manage contracted physicians and NPs as the clinical team scales
Business development & growth
- Partner with the CEO on commercial strategy - pricing, packaging, and how we position clinical quality as a market differentiator
- Source and structure partnerships across the ecosystem: labs, imaging providers, diagnostics, employers, and channel partners
- Serve as a credible clinical voice in fundraising, investor conversations, and key account discussions
- Represent Anomaly externally - speaking, content, and presence within the longevity and preventive care communities - to drive awareness and demand
- Build and activate a referral and clinical network that fuels member growth
- Contribute to product strategy at the intersection of clinical evidence, commercial viability, and member experience
What We're Looking For
- MD license (Active license in NY, NJ, CT, and CA preferred)
- 10+ years of experience providing primary care with recent delivery in telemedicine
- Deep fluency in longevity biomarkers: advanced lipids, metabolomics, hormonal panels, inflammatory markers, CGM, and genomics
- Prior experience in a startup, digital health company, or concierge/direct-care practice
- Demonstrated business or commercial instinct - you've helped build a practice, line of business, or company, not just delivered care within one
- Comfort with AI-assisted clinical tools and a clear-eyed view of their limitations
- Entrepreneurial mindset - you see gaps and build systems to fill them
Nice to Have
- IFM, ABAARM, AIHM or equivalent longevity/functional medicine certification
- Prior experience structuring telemedicine consent or async care models
- Network within the longevity medicine or preventive care communities
What We Offer
- Founding equity and a front row seat to building a world-class startup founder and team
- Flexible engagement structured around your existing commitments that can scale as we build conviction in doing this together
- Fully remote/virtual
- Ownership in shaping a great experience, product, and business
