Job Description

WHOOP is an advanced health and fitness wearable on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers members to improve their health through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.

As the Director, Clinical Science, you will lead the clinical science function responsible for developing the evidence that supports WHOOP’s regulated and unregulated health features, with a particular focus on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). You will own clinical strategy across the product lifecycle, from early concept and feasibility through validation, regulatory submission, launch, and post-market evidence generation.

This role requires deep expertise in SaMD clinical development, including study design, endpoint development, clinical validation, regulatory strategy, and evidence generation. As both a strategic leader and hands-on expert, you will partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure clinical evidence supports product, regulatory, and business objectives.

You will build and mentor a high-performing team of Clinical Scientists, strengthen WHOOP’s clinical science capabilities, and ensure our evidence generation strategy meets the expectations of regulators, clinicians, members, and the business.
