Medical Director
Making preventive health the default for every human in Europe
The mission
At Lucis, we believe healthcare should be preventive, not reactive. We’re building the operating system for human longevity to help people add more healthy years to their lives.
The role
Lucis analyses 110+ biomarkers, builds personalised clinical protocols, and delivers them through an AI-powered preventive health product. We are live in France and opening the UK, Portugal and Spain.
This role exists to turn clinical judgement into the medical standards the company can run on.
We are hiring a Medical Director to own Lucis's clinical direction and medical safety system.
You will:
Decide what we test and why, and to what clinical standard the service runs
Set the risk posture and the governance model: who signs what, how incidents are handled, what Lucis can claim
Own the certification call and path: medical device classification, CE, ISO, or stay out of scope, and the argument behind it
Hire and lead the clinical operations and safety team.
Represent Lucis clinically with labs, insurers, institutional partners and regulators, alongside the CMO
Set the standards that product team should follow to make each release safe.
