Medical Director - Nourish Medical

About Us

Health is the most important thing in life, and the American healthcare system is completely broken—poor outcomes, high cost, bad patient experience. We're building a new system from the ground up. Our mission is to improve people’s health by making it easy to live a healthy lifestyle. Nourish is the country's largest dietitian-led metabolic health clinic. We’re an AI-native digital health system matching patients with 10,000+ Registered Dietitians, physicians, medications, lab testing, and AI agents to deliver insurance-covered care across all 50 states. Founded four years ago, we've completed millions of appointments, tripled year-over-year, and partnered with health plans covering 200M+ Americans across 250+ health systems. In 2026 we raised a $100M Series C, bringing total funding to $215M. The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, Atomico, Daybreak, and Operator Partners.

About The Role

As Medical Director, you will lead the clinical team of physicians and advanced practice providers who deliver care within our practice, owning the systems and processes that enable them to deliver excellent care as we scale. This is a new role that will be critical to growing our provider base while maintaining high clinical quality. You will develop and scale the medical team: hiring and directly managing the performance of frontline clinicians, all while building a collaborative clinical culture people want to stay in. You’ll partner closely with our Head of Dietetics to drive great cross-provider type experience and care. You'll be the clinical voice in cross-functional work with Product, Data, and Operations, ensuring what we build reflects the realities of delivering care, especially when it comes to our Provider product and experience. You'll help crack one of the most important questions in medicine today: how to balance the best of AI with the irreplaceably human core of great care.

This person will report into our Chief Medical Officer, owning the performance management of our Nourish medical clinicians, and work closely with the Clinical Strategy team on protocol development, quality standards, and care model design, as well as with Product, Data, and Operations. You'll be a key member of the clinical leadership team, helping shape how Nourish delivers high-quality metabolic care at scale. This role is full-time and open to NYC-based or remote candidates. Our office is located in Gramercy.

Responsibilities

• Scale and lead the Nourish Medical clinical team while maintaining high-quality care, owning supervision of the physician and APP team
• Build the engine for clinical quality management, using metrics and analytical rigor to drive top-tier performance through technology, process, and coaching
• Champion the interdisciplinary care model, partnering closely with dietitians, therapists, and eventually other provider types to define how disciplines work together
• Support the cross-functional loop with Product and Operations to translate what you see on the clinical front line into process and product that make care better for every patient across the provider- and patient-facing products
• Provide direct clinical care to patients on the Nourish platform, managing a part-time clinical load
• Shape where Nourish Medical goes next, including new visit types, new provider types, entire new service lines, and build the clinical foundation that makes that expansion possible

Requirements

• 6–10+ years of experience after medical school, with a mix of strong clinical practice and operational/analytical work. Time spent in consulting, finance, or a startup is a plus
• Excellent clinician fluent in the medical management of cardiometabolic disease who holds themselves to a high bar
• Experience managing clinicians, balancing difficult 1:1 conversations with building scalable quality management structures
• Data-savvy decision-making, weighing quantitative and qualitative factors effectively
• Humility and warmth, building trust across a growing multidisciplinary team
• Bias toward action with strong judgment about when speed improves or detracts from care quality
• Ability to think fluidly across people, systems, and technology, taking ideas from concept to implementation

You must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. for this position.
