Our Vision
uMed seeks to be a cornerstone of the efforts to reduce the burden of disease for patients by radically reducing the barriers to knowledge creation.
Join us.
Our Culture
We are a group of trusting and inclusive individuals, who encourage, are creative and want to make a difference in the world. We do not take ourselves too seriously and we love to tell a story. We innovate, work hard and take risks but at the forefront is a joint mission to be part of groundbreaking research to ultimately advance and develop science to support those most in need.
What we do
The process of conducting clinical research is incredibly expensive and time consuming, limiting our efforts to find answers to the world’s most important medical challenges. uMed is a clinical research network fit for the 21st century, underpinned by cutting edge technology that connects patients, electronic health data and research groups across the world. Our rapidly growing network covers 90 GP sites in the UK representing over 2,000,000 patients with our first US healthcare system joining us this year bringing a further 5M patients. uMed was founded by an NHS doctor, supported by a world class board and backed by London and US based venture capital.
Life at uMed
No matter what an organisation is trying to achieve, success or failure is inextricably linked to the people within it. For a young company, there is no redundancy, so this relationship is turned up to eleven.

The Role
You will own the growth and strategy of uMed 's entire US provider and partner network. This isn't a single-pipeline sales role, it's building the strategy, the team, and the commercial model that gets uMet to offer research opportunities to patients, at the pace uMed 's growth plan requires. You'll set which segments to go after and why, build and lead the team that executes it, and be the senior, credible voice in the room with health system executives, EMR partners and payers alongside the company's physician CEO
You'll need to develop a multi-year network growth strategy with the CEO, and personally lead the highest-value, most complex partnership conversations yourself. Over time, this role builds and leads the full US partnerships function.

What You'll Bring
7+ years in healthcare business development, provider/health system partnerships, with real ownership of a partnerships or network-growth function
A track record of closing complex, trust-based partnerships with physicians, practice leadership, or health system executives, and 3rd party vendors (e.g. EMR systems) not just transactional sales
Comfortable operating at both strategic (board/exec-level strategy) and hands-on execution (personally leading key deals)
Deep understanding of the healthcare landscape, and what genuinely motivates providers to partner with a company like uMed
