Company mission
Prenuvo's mission is to transform the medical paradigm from reactive to proactive, ridding the world of advanced disease by detecting it early when treatment is easiest and most successful.
Role
Who you are
- 7–10+ years of experience in high ownership environments requiring a blend of strategy and execution - examples could be time in strategy consulting, research commercialisation, product or program management, or founder roles
- Experience leading cross-functional programs that span R&D, clinical/regulatory, and go-to-market
- Clear and impactful communication skills: You write and speak with clarity, distilling complex information into actionable insights. You’re effective in engaging with executives and driving alignment at the leadership level
- Deep operational rigor: you’ve run cadences, tracked KPIs, built status reporting, and held teams accountable to deliverables
- High EQ and collaborative leadership style: you know how to work with scientists, engineers, and execs without friction
- Detail-oriented with strategic insight: You can dive into the small details without losing sight of the bigger picture, shaping narratives that guide decision-making

- This is a high-impact role that combines strategic planning, program execution, cross-functional orchestration, and leadership accountability to define and drive forward Prenuvo’s most critical AI initiatives—from research and labeling infrastructure to regulatory delivery and product deployment
- You’ll act as the connective tissue across research, clinical, engineering, and regulatory, ensuring our AI roadmap translates into execution with speed, clarity, and accountability
- Act as a thought partner for the VP of AI - helping to plan the roadmap of initiatives that will deliver the most impact for Prenuvo and our patients
- Drive execution of Prenuvo’s end-to-end AI portfolio—including research programs, labeling initiatives, FDA-regulatory workflows, and model deployment readiness

- Collaborate deeply with labeling leads, radiology experts, AI scientists, and software/product managers to set clear OKRs and resource plans
- Monitor progress against KPIs and proactively identify blockers, risks, or misalignments—ensuring a “no surprises” environment for AI execution
- Lead strategic problem-solving in ambiguous areas—e.g., labeling throughput, regulatory preparation, clinical readiness—without waiting to be told what to do
- Instill a culture of 80/20 thinking, fast iteration, and tight alignment across research teams
Our take
The quantified self movement is gaining momentum, especially in the health and fitness sector. Wearable health monitors, sleep trackers, and genetic testing have all firmly entered the mainstream, and body MRI scanning service Prenuvo is taking this concept to the next level. Prenuvo’s whole body diagnostic imaging offers customers a comprehensive picture of their body, whilst screening for 500+ major conditions and cancers.
The medical benefits of approaching these diseases proactively, as opposed to reactively, are substantial. Customers will be able to catch warning signs early, meaning treatment is likely to be less invasive, with a higher success rate. Unfortunately North America, like many regions, has yet to make substantial investments in preventative healthcare. This just makes companies like Prenuvo, and the VCs who fund them, increasingly necessary.
This funding, however has been substantial, and having closed a Series A funding round in 2022 Prenuvo has moved swiftly to open new clinics across the United States. Its next step is to improve the accessibility of its service - currently scans cost about $1000, but improvements in the technology and working processes will cut the cost by two thirds or more and greatly expand Prenuvo's addressable market.
