Lead Ostify's commercial side from day one, and help turn first pilots into a company that puts building power in clinicians' hands across the NHS.
Clinicians know what their patients need. Most never get to build it. Digital tools are made for them, not by them, and good ideas stall waiting for budget, engineers or a supplier.
Ostify changes that. Clinicians use it to build safe, tested AI agents from their own approved content, with no coding and with safety and assurance built in. Along the way, they see exactly how their agent works: what it draws on, how it's tested and where its limits are. That understanding builds confidence, cuts the cost of bringing new ideas to life, and opens the door to innovation from the people closest to patients.
The platform is built and clinically led. Osteoblast (build) and Osteoclast (evaluate) are live on a free plan, and Osteocite, our assurance layer, is next. What Ostify needs now is someone to bring it to the clinicians and services ready to build. As our co-founder, you'd help turn first pilots into a company that puts building power in clinicians' hands across the NHS.
Is this right for you?
This is an early-stage co-founder role, so it suits some people better than others. It's worth being clear upfront.
It may not be the right time for you if:
- You need a salary in the near term. Pay starts once we raise pre-seed, so you'll need to support yourself until then.
- You prefer an established role. There's no team or playbook yet, so you'd be building the commercial side from the start.
- Your time is very limited. We can start part-time, but it needs steady weekly time and one day a week together in London.
- You'd rather advise than do. Early on, you'd be leading conversations, bids and deals yourself.
- Health and care is new to you. NHS buying has its own pace and rules, so experience here really matters.
It could be a great fit if you want ownership of something you help build, you're comfortable with early-stage risk, and you'd enjoy shaping a company from the ground up.
The role
You'd join as Co-founder & Chief Commercial Officer, leading Ostify's commercial side from day one. I lead as CEO, focusing on product, engineering and clinical safety, and we work closely together on strategy and fundraising.
You will:
- Turn interest from clinicians and NHS services into signed pilots and paid deployments
- Navigate procurement, information governance sign-off and NHS buying routes
- Develop pricing and the commercial model, and lead negotiations and contracts
- Shape our positioning, messaging and how we show up at events and in the market
- Lead fundraising and grant applications (Innovate UK, NIHR, SBRI Healthcare), including investor relationships and due diligence materials
- Build partnerships with NHS trusts, ICBs, digital health suppliers and charities
- Set commercial targets and report progress to investors
- Recruit and lead the commercial team as we grow
Must-have experience
- A track record of selling into the NHS or UK health and care, with deals you personally closed
- Working knowledge of NHS procurement and how buying decisions get made
- Credibility with clinicians, NHS managers and investors
- A degree in business, health, science or a related field, or equivalent experience
- The right to work in the UK
Valuable nice-to-haves
- A dual background, for example clinical or NHS experience alongside commercial training or industry experience
- Previous founder or early-stage startup experience
- Fundraising experience (VC, angels or grants)
- Familiarity with DTAC, DCB0129/0160 or digital health regulation
- An existing network across NHS trusts or ICBs
What we offer
- Co-founder equity with vesting, and salary from pre-seed raise
- A built, working product, so your focus is customers and capital rather than the technology
- A real say in how the company is shaped from the start
- Flexible, mostly remote working
How it works
- A first conversation about the vision, your experience and what you want from this.
- A couple of working sessions together, plus references, so we both know how we'd work together.
- A written founder agreement covering equity, vesting and roles.
We'll use your application details only to assess your application. See our privacy policy .
