transforming how severe mental health disorders are treated — through
Avatar Therapy in Virtual Reality
.

Our
CE-certified (MDR Class I)
software empowers clinicians to help patients with
schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders

research to commercialization
— expanding our collaborations and bringing our technology to clinics worldwide.

We're now looking for a

to join our leadership team and play a key role in this next phase of growth. This is a rare opportunity to help
scale a groundbreaking therapeutic technology
that's changing lives.

scientific and regulatory direction
of the company while actively helping bridge the gap between
clinical research and commercial adoption
.

You'll
build and nurture collaborations
with top research teams worldwide, ensure
regulatory compliance
, and contribute to the creation of
marketing, communication, and sales materials
that translate our science into real-world impact.

You'll also represent the company at conferences, events, and client meetings — helping shape the conversation around the future of digital mental health.

What You'll Do

  • Expand and manage global research collaborations with clinical and academic institutions.
  • Lead the company's scientific vision and evidence strategy as we scale commercially.
  • Oversee regulatory affairs and compliance under MDR and related frameworks.
  • Contribute to commercialisation efforts, from crafting scientific marketing content to participating in client and partner meetings.
  • Lead and support funding and grant applications with public and private partners.
  • Represent the company in scientific and commercial forums worldwide.
  • Collaborate closely with product, clinical, and commercial teams to align scientific credibility with market needs.
  • Build our scientific and regulatory team as we grow.

What You Bring

  • Hold a PhD or advanced degree in Psychology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience, or related field, with clinical and/or research experience from severe mental illness (SMI).
  • Experienced in leading complex, multi-stakeholder research projects (public or private funding).
  • Understand clinical research ecosystems and regulatory pathways (experience with MDR a plus).
  • Commercially minded — able to connect scientific excellence with business growth.
  • Strong communicator and relationship builder across research, clinical, and industry settings.
  • Positive, proactive, and entrepreneurial mindset in a dynamic startup environment

Why Join Us
Be part of a mission-driven company that's reimagining how we treat severe mental health disorders. Work alongside a small but passionate team, world-class researchers, and clinicians to bring
cutting-edge therapy
to those who need it most
