At Oviva, we’re on a mission to make sustainable, personalized, clinically effective care accessible to everyone as we build Europe’s leading AI-powered chronic care platform. Our digital programmes help people manage weight-related illnesses by focusing on what matters most: improving health, building confidence, and enhancing quality of life.

To date, we have supported over one million people across the UK, Switzerland, and Germany. Our mission is powered by a dedicated team operating across four countries, including our hub in Poland. Every conversation, coaching session, and line of code brings us closer to a healthier future.

Our journey is accelerating: In 2026, we secured €200 million in Series D funding led by Kinnevik and a group of leading global investors. This investment fuels our next phase of growth, allowing us to scale our AI-enabled chronic care platform across Europe and expand our support to even more people living with chronic conditions.

Join us, and be part of the team making that future possible!

The Role
As the Head of Clinical Trial Operations, you own the operational delivery engine for clinical trials at Oviva. This is a vital "builder" role designed for an execution-focused leader who creates operational clarity, structures processes, and actively drives delivery as we scale.
You are directly responsible for ensuring that all trials - whether virtual, physical, or hybrid - meet their critical launch and completion targets. By personally building and executing the infrastructure required for tech-enabled, data-driven trial delivery, you directly contribute to Oviva's mission of remaining Europe’s leader in digital health.

• A relevant qualification and 8 years of related clinical operations experience, or an advanced degree with 5-6 years of experience.
• Significant experience within a sponsor or hybrid sponsor/CRO environment.
• Proven track record of leading clinical studies, ideally across Germany, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom.
• Demonstrated knowledge and hands-on application of ICH-GCP, ISO 14155, EU MDR, DiGA requirements, and relevant national regulatory frameworks.
• Proven experience of people management and leading a team.
• Fluency in English is required. German fluency is a strong advantage for navigating the German healthcare landscape.

• Active Trial Delivery & Direct Execution: Drive day-to-day study execution across active portfolios, stepping in directly to manage timelines and ensure patient enrollment targets are met across virtual, site-based, and hybrid delivery models.
• Tactical Vendor & Partner Management: Direct external vendors and research organizations with a hands-on approach, reviewing specific line items, participating in performance reviews, and negotiating directly when vendors miss timelines or budgets.
• Direct Bottleneck Resolution & Team Co-Piloting: Actively coach and work alongside your team of 3 Clinical Trial Managers, rolling up your sleeves to map out solutions and execute recovery plans when recruitment or site activations lag.
• Building & Deploying Practical Infrastructure: Personally design, build, and roll out standardized operational toolkits, checklists, and frameworks for trial management to reduce trial setup times and eliminate reliance on informal knowledge.
• Portfolio Tracking & Data Maintenance: Maintain real-time visibility into study metrics, budgets, and compliance, tracking study burn-rates and operational risks to provide data-driven action plans to senior leadership.
