About The Position

Assured Allies is seeking a rigorous and strategic Clinical Science Lead to serve as the scientific backbone of NeverStop, a mission-driven wellness platform helping people age well. The platform takes a holistic approach to aging, supporting physical resilience, cognitive health, emotional wellbeing, and long-term functional independence. This role involves translating complex wellness and health data into actionable product logic, owning risk reduction metrics, AI-driven guardrails, and the clinical evidence that makes outcomes provable to partners and carriers. The ideal candidate will combine the analytical mindset of an epidemiologist or outcomes researcher with a business-oriented, cross-functional approach to deliver real clinical impact.

Requirements

• Advanced degree (M.Sc./M.A. with thesis or PhD) in Epidemiology, Medical Sciences, Neuroscience, or a related field.
• 3+ years of industry experience in digital health, outcomes research, or health economics.
• Mandatory experience working inside a fast-paced commercial/startup company where health/Wellness is the core product.
• Proven experience as a sole functional owner ('team of one'), leading through influence across Product and R&D to deliver clinical validation at startup speed.
• Experience in productizing clinical ideas and frameworks and bringing them to market.
• Proven experience designing clinical measurement frameworks, risk reduction metrics, or psychometric instruments.
• Highly comfortable working with large datasets.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills (fluent English).
• Passionate about wellness!

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on familiarity with Python or R for metric deep-dives and data analysis is a distinct advantage.
• Understanding of health insurance dynamics, risk models, or disability/occupational risk frameworks is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Measurement & risk metrics: Design the system that translates member data into clinical risk scores — defining what "better" looks like and making it provable.
• Clinical safety & guardrails: Define the boundaries that keep the AI coach off medical advice - escalation logic, safety thresholds, and clinical grid governance.
• Clinical feature logic: Define the algorithmic and clinical logic behind our product features - intervention matching, domain weighting, and recommendation engine - in close collaboration with product and engineering.
• Scientific validation: Serve as the scientific authority on what goes into the product - evidence standards and the evidentiary foundation behind every clinical claim.
• Thought leadership: Develop white papers, carrier outcome reports, and industry positioning that translate clinical rigor into external credibility.

Benefits

• Impact That Drives Real Change: Build an AI-driven product that genuinely improves lives.
• Redefine the Future of Longevity: Be part of a mission-driven team rewriting the playbook on what “aging well” looks like, blending behavioral science, clinical guardrails, and cutting-edge technology.
• Rigor Over Vanity Metrics: Work alongside a brilliant, low-ego, cross-functional team of product managers and engineers who value absolute data integrity and provable health outcomes.
• High Autonomy & Clinical Authority: Own complex, ambiguous problems from day one. You will have the data, trust, and resources needed to build new measurement frameworks from scratch.
• A Path to Lead: Join a scaling company as a foundational clinical voice. This senior role offers a clear and structured trajectory to lead the clinical science function as we continue to grow.
