[Hiring] Founding Chief Medical Officer @Forum Ventures

Role Description

As Founding CMO, you will set the clinical standard for everything we do - from protocol development and lab interpretation to patient safety, regulatory posture, and physician oversight of AI-driven outputs - and you'll help build the business itself. This is a dual mandate: own clinical quality and credibility, and act as a commercial force multiplier, shaping growth strategy, partnerships, and the company's external voice.

You'll work directly with the CEO and product team to translate cutting-edge longevity and functional health science into scalable, defensible clinical workflows - and to turn that clinical edge into a durable commercial advantage.

This role is for a physician who thinks like a builder and an operator. Excited about what AI can do for medicine, deeply skeptical of hype, relentless about getting the evidence right, and energized by the work of growing a company.

What You'll Do

• Clinical leadership
  • Co-develop and own our clinical protocol framework - biomarker panels, care pathways, and optimization areas (you'll shape this from the ground up)
  • Conduct member-facing clinical sessions - consultations, results reviews, and ongoing optimization check-ins
  • Review and sign off on AI-generated health reports, maintaining final clinical accountability for all member-facing content
  • Build and enforce clinical safety, consent, and escalation frameworks
  • Serve as medical reviewer for edge cases, abnormal findings, and high-risk members
  • Hire and manage contracted physicians and NPs as the clinical team scales
• Business development & growth
  • Partner with the CEO on commercial strategy - pricing, packaging, and how we position clinical quality as a market differentiator
  • Source and structure partnerships across the ecosystem: labs, imaging providers, diagnostics, employers, and channel partners
  • Serve as a credible clinical voice in fundraising, investor conversations, and key account discussions
  • Represent Anomaly externally - speaking, content, and presence within the longevity and preventive care communities - to drive awareness and demand
  • Build and activate a referral and clinical network that fuels member growth
  • Contribute to product strategy at the intersection of clinical evidence, commercial viability, and member experience

Qualifications

• MD license
• License in NY, NJ, CT, and CA preferred
• 10+ years of experience providing primary care with recent delivery in telemedicine
• Deep fluency in longevity biomarkers: advanced lipids, metabolomics, hormonal panels, inflammatory markers, CGM, and genomics
• Prior experience in a startup, digital health company, or concierge/direct-care practice
• Demonstrated business or commercial instinct - you've helped build a practice, line of business, or company, not just delivered care within one
• Comfort with AI-assisted clinical tools and a clear-eyed view of their limitations
• Entrepreneurial mindset - you see gaps and build systems to fill them

Nice to Have

• IFM, ABAARM, or equivalent longevity/functional medicine certification
• Prior experience structuring telemedicine consent or async care models
• Network within the longevity medicine or preventive care communities

Benefits

• Founding equity and a front row seat to building a world-class startup founder and team
• Flexible engagement structured around your existing commitments that can scale as we build conviction in doing this together
• Fully remote/virtual
• Ownership in shaping a great experience, product, and business
