About The Role

We are in search of a Chief Medical Officer / Medical Director (title to depend on candidate) at Season.

You will report to our Chief Executive Officer and have the opportunity to join a mission-driven, innovative health tech organization on the ground floor, applying your expertise in a strategic, value-add manner.

Because Season is still an early-stage startup, this role requires an early-stage startup mindset. The right candidate thrives on ambiguity, uncertainty, and rapid change. They have a preternatural sense of ownership. They roll up their sleeves, do whatever it takes to get a project over the line, and earn trust in the trenches. They wake up every day energized by the unique challenges of startup life, knowing they wouldn’t have their job be any other way.

This is an exempt role; we are open to either full-time or part-time / fractional for the right candidate.
