Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. HealthMatch is on a mission to advance medicine by connecting patients with clinical trials. The Medical Director will lead the medical work for sponsor-direct trials, supervise a medical team, and contribute to strategic medical direction while being hands-on with patient reviews and clinical reasoning.
Responsibilities
- Owning EMR review across our trial portfolio, managing a team of associates + hands-on with patient cases, surfacing patterns and feeding clinical signal back to engineering for rule refinement
- Working with engineering to refine our automated EMR screening — defining the clinical logic for which patients to exclude outright, which need a human reviewer, and how to handle edge cases.

- Encoding eligibility criteria for new sponsor-direct trials across our screening stack and reviewing the output of our AI encoding agent to iterate and improve
- Strategic medical leadership across the company — pre-launch strategy on hard recruitment criteria, designing future-pool pathways for patients who don't qualify now but might later, partnering with product on how we evaluate hard criteria across trials, weighing in on new business and design conversations
- Attending weekly customer meetings on our sponsor-direct trials — protocol amendments mid-flight, recruitment design, working through edge cases with sponsor medical leads
- Driving improvements across our portfolio — documenting best practices, running funnel experiments and user research, turning what we learn from one trial into how we run the next
- Partnering across the team — engineering, trial ops, leadership
