Chief Medical Officer: Fertility
Evvy · New York City · $1,000/month (stated in the posting)
About Evvy
At Evvy, we believe the female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery.
We are a precision women’s health company leveraging the vaginal microbiome to improve outcomes across a woman's lifespan. Backed by $60M+ from leading investors, we serve over 100,000 patients and 3,000 providers nationwide with our validated Vaginal Microbiome Test and AI-powered personalized care platform. Through this work, we have built the world’s largest dataset on the vaginal microbiome — a proprietary foundation that will drive breakthroughs in infertility, preterm birth, gynecological cancers, and beyond.
Why join now?
Evvy is a generational opportunity in women's health — and we're at the inflection point.
We’ve built a dataset no one has. Evvy has generated the world’s largest vaginal microbiome dataset from 100,000+ patients, uncovering novel biological markers underlying women’s health conditions that collectively cost the healthcare system $180B+ annually.
Validated, AI-first platform. We’ve built a comprehensive testing and care platform that unlocks personalized treatment pathways for each patient. Our work is supported by research published in major peer-reviewed journals and presented at major clinical conferences (including ACOG, ASRM, IDSOG, and more).
Proven traction, massive opportunity. We serve 100,000+ patients and 3,000 providers nationwide, with rapidly growing revenue and an expanding suite of diagnostics and treatments to improve outcomes across condition areas. We've only scratched the surface.
Top tier team, investors, and partners. Our world-class team is backed by industry leading investors, including General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, US Fertility, and Labcorp.
We're looking for high-horsepower, mission-driven people who find it unacceptable that the female body is still a medical mystery — and want to help change that.
The Role
Evvy is building the clinical evidence base for a new category: using the vaginal microbiome to predict and improve fertility outcomes.
We're looking for a Chief Medical Officer to own Evvy’s clinical position in fertility. You will own the design and scientific integrity of our studies, and the credibility of their results with the reproductive medicine community. You’ll lead the design of our clinical studies, rigorous enough to hold up to peer review and built from day one to support publication, clinical utility, commercialization, and a data asset that keeps its value beyond the trial timeline. You’ll work with our data science team and our study execution leads to take them across the finish line.
You’ll present that work to the field and get to work closely alongside Evvy’s founders, leadership team and Fertility Advisory Board to push the company’s vision forward.
This is a rare opportunity to shape how an entire field thinks about the vaginal microbiome's role in fertility, from the inside of a company with the data, the patients, and the momentum to make it real. This role is for someone who is equally energized by research, innovation, and shaping an entirely new category of care.
We are open to a full-time hire or a part-time hire (for doctors who want to maintain their clinical practice / academic affiliation).
What You'll Do
Own Clinical Study Design & Strategy
Lead the design of our prospective interventional study:endpoints, inclusion and exclusion criteria, randomization, power calculations, complete protocol. Design the study to support strong clinical utility, peer-reviewed publication, and drive commercial adoption of Evvy’s fertility offering.
Optimize evidence generated within an agreed upon budget and timeline with Evvy’s Exec team.
Bring research expertise and rigor to how we sequence and prioritize our study pipeline
Leverage Evvy’s Fertility Advisory Board and other outside clinical experts as inputs to the design. Own IRB submission strategy and ensure the design withstands scrutiny from the broader medical and research community
You will work with our internal data science team and dedicated study execution lead who owns enrollment, sites, and day-to-day operations.

What We're Looking For
Required:
Board certification in reproductive endocrinology with an established standing in reproductive medicine
A current academic appointment or equivalent research standing
A substantial peer-reviewed publication record, and direct experience designing and running clinical studies. Prospective and randomized experience is strongly preferred.
Active participation in relevant professional organizations such as ASRM
A demonstrated ability to design studies against a budget and a timeline. We are looking for someone who is able to prioritize endpoint selection, cohort size, and trial duration with both a scientific and business lens.
You are:
Interested in leveraging the vaginal microbiome to improve fertility outcomes
Someone who thinks about clinical study design with both scientific rigor and business context — across endpoints, budget, and timeline
Comfortable operating independently as an external, credible voice — distinct from and outside of Evvy's internal team — while still being a true partner to us
Willing to have Evvy as your only senior role with a private company
Helpful but not required:
Expertise in the vaginal microbiome or novel diagnostics
Experience bringing a diagnostic through payor coverage or into clinical guidelines
