Job description

Vice President Of Clinical Research

Meet knownwell, weight-inclusive healthcare for all. Join a dynamic company that is changing the way obesity care is delivered. We offer weight management, primary care, nutrition counseling, and health coaching. Our care model combines in-clinic and virtual care to bring support to patients where and when they need it.

Backed by $50M in fundingincluding a $25M round led by CVS Health Ventures with support from a16z Bio + Health, Flare Capital, MassMutual, and Intermountain Ventureswe're scaling fast and expanding access to evidence-based obesity care nationwide.

The Vice President of Clinical Research is an operational executive and the senior-most leader of knownwell's research service line. This is an assess-modernize-and-scale role: you will inherit a running but under structured trials program and build the infrastructure, systems, and talent needed to take it to the next level.

You will report to the CEO and work closely with the Chief Medical Officer, President, Director of Research and our pharmaceutical partners. You will be accountable for the full lifecycle of every trial knownwell hosts - from sponsor relationships and site activation through enrollment, data integrity, regulatory compliance, and closeout. Along with our CMO, you will also serve as the commercial face of our trials program, developing new sponsor relationships and positioning knownwell as a preferred site for trials in metabolic health and related disease areas.

This role is right for someone who thinks in systems, runs tight operations, and has a proven record of delivering trials on time and on budget at the site level.

What You'll Own

  • Program Infrastructure and Strategy
  • Sponsor Relationships and Business Development
  • Site Operations and Execution
  • Performance and Reporting

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in clinical trials operations, with meaningful time at the site level or in a multi-site site management organization (SMO)
  • Demonstrated track record of running concurrent trials across multiple sites not just managing CROs or sponsors from afar
  • Strong working knowledge of GCP, ICH guidelines, FDA regulations, and IRB processes
  • Experience negotiating and managing sponsor and CRO relationships, including budgets and contracts
  • Proven team builder; you've hired and developed trials staff in resource-constrained environments
  • Financial fluency you can build a budget, manage a P&L, and translate operational decisions into financial implications
  • Comfortable operating in an early-stage, high-growth environment where the infrastructure you need doesn't exist yet

What This Is Not

This role does not require a clinical degree or licensure. We are not looking for a physician scientist, a medical monitor, or a clinical development strategist whose primary skill is protocol design. We need an operator - someone who has run sites, managed coordinators, closed enrollment gaps, managed sponsor relationships under pressure, and built processes that scale.

Pay & Perks:

  • Hybrid Opportunity
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401K retirement plan with company match
  • Up to 20 days of PTO per year + company holidays
  • Up to 14 weeks of parental leave (12 for non-birthing parents)

Based on current size of the clinic and HIPAA regulation, providers cannot receive care in clinic and provider's household members cannot receive primary care in the clinic.
