Chief Operations Officer — Virtual Obesity Medicine Startup
Location: Virtual / Remote
Commitment: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive Salary, Significant Equity, and Benefits
About Us
We are building a next-generation virtual obesity medicine clinic that integrates three proven components into one patient experience: physician-prescribed GLP-1 medications, virtual dietitian coaching, and medically tailored meals. Our clinical model is powerful but operationally complex. Making it a seamless, scalable, and high-quality reality for patients is our central execution challenge. This venture is being launched out of the venture studio of Healthcare Shares, an early-stage healthcare venture capital firm.
The Opportunity: Master the Complexity of Integrated Virtual Care
We are seeking a world-class Chief Operations Officer (COO) to be the master integrator of our unique, multi-modal care delivery system. This is a foundational executive role for a "0 to 1" builder who thrives on solving complex operational puzzles. Your mission is to design, build, and scale the end-to-end patient journey and the underlying infrastructure that powers it. You will own the seamless integration of our three core pillars: a telehealth clinician network, a human-led coaching service, and a national food logistics and supply chain. The ideal candidate is an experienced operations executive from a tech-enabled healthcare services company who has a demonstrated history of scaling complex, high-touch clinical operations with excellence.
Responsibilities
- Architect the Operating Model: Design and build the company's entire operational infrastructure from the ground up to deliver high-quality, efficient, and compassionate care at a national scale.
- Integrate Tripartite Operations: Own the end-to-end patient journey, masterfully integrating our clinical (telehealth providers), coaching (dietitians), and nutrition (meal logistics) operations into a single, cohesive experience.
- Scale Clinical & Coaching Teams: Develop the strategy for recruiting, training, managing, and scaling our national network of physicians, advanced practice providers, and registered dietitians.
- Build the Supply Chain: Establish and manage the supply chain and fulfillment infrastructure for our medically tailored meals program, ensuring quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Drive Efficiency & Quality: Implement the technology, processes, and KPIs required to monitor and continuously improve clinical quality, patient satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
- Lead as a Founding Executive: As a key member of the executive team, you will be instrumental in shaping company strategy, culture, and future fundraising efforts.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 10+ years of senior operations leadership experience, with a proven track record of scaling complex, tech-enabled healthcare services (e.g., virtual care, home health, managed care).
- Direct experience managing multi-faceted operations that include clinical teams, technology platforms, and ideally, a logistics or physical supply chain component.
- A systems-thinker with a deep understanding of process design, workflow optimization, and how to leverage technology to scale human-led services.
- An entrepreneurial "builder" who has experience in an early-stage, venture-backed startup and excels at creating structure and process in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
- A data-driven decision-maker, adept at using metrics and KPIs to manage performance and drive continuous improvement.
- A patient-obsessed leader committed to delivering an exceptional experience and the highest standards of clinical quality.
Why Join Us
- Solve a Unique Challenge: Tackle a fascinating and complex operational problem that sits at the intersection of telehealth, human services, and physical logistics.
- Build the Foundation: As the founding COO, you will have the autonomy to design and build the operational engine of the company from the first principles.
- Drive Patient Impact: Your work is the critical link that translates our clinical vision into a tangible, life-changing reality for hundreds of thousands of patients.
