About Hilo by Aktiia
High blood pressure is a prevalent global health issue, leading to approximately 18 million deaths annually. At Hilo by Aktiia, we envision a world devoid of the adverse effects of high blood pressure. Our mission is to realize this vision through innovative technology designed to empower individuals in managing their blood pressure effectively.
We are a venture-backed scale-up that has successfully secured over $96 million from investors in Europe and the United States. Our groundbreaking technology is the result of 18 years of research at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and represents the only medically accurate, continuous, cuffless blood pressure monitor available in the consumer market. Our solution has undergone rigorous clinical validation and is CE Marked as a Class IIa medical device, currently accessible in 12 countries. As a hybrid/remote-first organization with our headquarters in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, we are unified by our commitment to impact and innovation.
Role Overview
We are on the lookout for a Chief Medical Officer to spearhead the medical and clinical strategy of our growing company.
In this pivotal role, you will identify the most impactful clinical use cases, guide product development, and advocate for the adoption of our cutting-edge technology throughout the healthcare ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity to revolutionize hypertension care through our exclusive cardiovascular dataset and a world-class interdisciplinary team. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bridge the gap between clinical excellence, product innovation, and commercial strategy, ensuring that our technology garners the trust of clinicians, regulators, and customers alike.
As a medtech scale-up with approximately 70 employees, we are currently focused on Europe, with plans to expand into the US market. You will play a crucial role in enhancing our scientific credibility and driving business growth as we embark on this next phase.
If you are a clinician-entrepreneur who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment and is passionate about making a significant impact on global cardiovascular health—while having the opportunity to improve the lives of countless individuals suffering from hypertension—we would love to connect with you.
This is a full-time position, and we encourage you to maintain your medical practice alongside your leadership responsibilities, as we believe that a medically sound approach is essential for the future of hypertension management. As the highest medical authority in the company, you will be instrumental in shaping that future.
While we operate as a hybrid/remote company across Europe, this role requires travel within Europe and regular in-office presence in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Given that the UK and German-speaking countries are our primary markets, candidates located in these regions will be given priority.
