Chief Medical Officer

The Chief Medical Officer is XRHealth's senior clinical leader and is accountable for all medical and clinical-related activities across the company. Reporting to the CEO and serving on the executive leadership team, the CMO sets clinical strategy, owns quality and patient safety, governs the clinical use of AI, builds the evidence base behind our products, and serves as the company's external clinical voice with payers, health systems, partners, regulators, and investors.

This is a hands-on, build-and-scale role for a physician who thinks like a technologist. The ideal candidate has already built or scaled the clinical function of a digital health company, knows how to translate clinical insight into product decisions, and understands how evidence and outcomes drive enterprise and payer adoption.
