About Velora Health

Velora Health is a rapidly growing HealthTech startup on a mission to address the leading causes of preventable death. Our goal is bold yet simple: to democratize access to a healthy and long life through the fusion of precision medicine, technology, and a holistic approach to health.

We started our journey by tackling one of the biggest global health issues: obesity, which affects 39% of the world’s population. Through our digital health clinic at Velora.se, we provide individuals access to the latest and most effective research-based treatments.

We’re ~20 people today — and we’re now hiring the next person to join our Leadership Team.

The opportunity

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll be part of Velora’s Leadership Team and a key voice in strategy and high-level decisions. This is not a support role, we’re looking for a leader who challenges, sharpens, and helps drive the company forward.

We’re looking for someone who combines sharp strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You’ll help set direction, then take full ownership of a critical part of the business and run it at a gold-standard level.

This role is designed around your strengths. You will take end-to-end ownership of one of the following domains:

1. Marketing
2. Medical Operations
3. Tech / Platform Execution

What you’ll own (choose one track)

Track A: Marketing Ownership

Build a growth engine that scales access to life-changing care:

• Own acquisition and lifecycle strategy across channels (paid, organic, partnerships, CRM)
• Drive funnel performance (CAC, conversion, retention, LTV) with a strong experimentation cadence
• Lead positioning and messaging in longevity and obesity care
• Build reporting/insight loops the leadership team runs the business on
• Build the team and/or manage external partners as we scale

Track B: Medical Operations Ownership

Scale a digital clinic that delivers outcomes, safety, and an outstanding patient experience:

• Own end-to-end clinic operations: workflows, capacity planning, quality, cost per patient
• Build SOPs and operational standards that scale across roles and volumes
• Drive quality systems, training, follow-ups, adherence, and continuous improvement
• Partner with medical leadership on care pathways and measurable outcomes
• Ensure compliance-ready operations and documentation

Track C: Tech / Platform Execution Ownership

Turn our unique platform into a scalable product that powers excellent care:

• Own execution cadence: roadmap delivery, prioritization, quality, and reliability
• Translate clinical and business needs into shipped product improvements
• Strengthen planning, QA, releases, incident handling, and cross-team alignment
• Build scalable foundations for patient journeys, data, and clinic workflows
• Help hire and lead key roles/partners as the platform grows

What you’ll do (in every track)

• Co-shape strategy, priorities, and operating rhythm with the CEO and leadership team
• Turn ambiguity into clear plans, owners, timelines, and measurable KPIs
• Lead cross-functional initiatives across clinical, commercial, and product/tech
• Raise standards, remove bottlenecks, and increase execution speed
• Be hands-on, this is a builder role, not a “slide-only” role

What success looks like

• First 90 days: Take full ownership of your domain, define KPIs and operating cadence, and deliver 2–3 clear improvements that move outcomes and speed.
• Within 6 months: Your function operates at a gold-standard level with clear metrics, scalable processes, and a roadmap (and team/partners) to support growth.

Who you are

You’re a high-ownership leader who can zoom out and zoom in, from strategy to execution, without losing quality.

You likely have experience from one or more of these environments:

• A fast-moving scale-up/startup where you’ve built or scaled a function
• A high-standard organization where you’ve learned what “excellent” looks like in your domain
• A strategy/analysis-heavy role (e.g., consulting, corporate strategy, analytics) and you’ve proven you can operate and deliver

Most importantly, you bring real craft in one core domain (Marketing, Medical Ops, or Tech):

• You know how your area is run at a world-class level
• You can set the bar, build the system, and develop the team as we grow
• You’re metrics-driven, structured, and decisive — and you execute with pace

Bonus (not required):

• Experience in healthcare and HealthTech
• Experience scaling a function from early stage into growth
• Familiarity with Swedish healthcare context
• Swedish language skills are a plus

Location & ways of working

We’re Stockholm-based with a hybrid setup. We don’t expect you to be in the office 100%, the exact arrangement is flexible and will be discussed based on what works best for the right person and the needs of the role.

Why Velora

• Real impact: help tackle one of the largest drivers of preventable death globally
• High ownership: run one of the most critical parts of the business
• The team: High standards, low ego, and plenty of fun along the way
• Meaningful option package (equity)
