About the Role: 

Click is a fully integrated digital therapeutics platform company pioneering two complementary models of innovation: Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDTs) that are FDA-regulated digital treatments, and Software-Enhanced Drugs (SEDs) in which PDTs augment pharmacologic therapies to personalize and improve clinical outcomes.

As Senior Vice President (SVP), Clinical Development & Medical Affairs, you will be the clinical architect behind both models, leading all internal programs with a relentless focus on automation, operational efficiency, and digital innovation. Reporting to the Chief Medical Officer, you will oversee clinical science, development, operations, and affairs across the entire therapeutic lifecycle—from early discovery through pivotal trials and post-market evidence generation.

You’ll also play a key role externally with pharma collaborators, serving as clinical lead on joint governance committees, shaping and driving strategic co-development and commercialization efforts. This is a rare opportunity to lead within a first-of-its-kind biotech where software and medicine converge, and where clinical development is being redefined for speed, scale, and real-world impact.

This position can be based out of Click’s headquarters located in Tribeca, NYC, at the center of one of the fastest-growing digital health communities or at our industrious office in Boston, MA. We have a hybrid working model that consists of at least 3 days in office each week.

  • Implement technology-forward systems to enhance trial efficiency, data quality, and decision-making.

Medical Affairs Leadership

  • Build and lead a strategic medical affairs function supporting scientific communication, stakeholder engagement, scientific communications, and health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).
  • Translate clinical insights into impactful product development, access strategies, and commercial execution.

Cross-Functional & External Collaboration

  • Partner closely with product, engineering, data, regulatory, quality, commercial, and legal teams for seamless development and lifecycle execution.
  • Represent Click on joint governance boards with global pharma partners, ensuring coordinated execution of co-developed assets and alignment on clinical milestones.
  • Contribute to alliance management and business development activities to expand Click’s innovation and partnership pipeline.

People & Culture

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop top-tier scientific and clinical talent.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, inclusion, and excellence across the organization.

  • 15+ years of progressive clinical R&D leadership in biotech, pharma, or digital health.
  • Proven track record of advancing biopharmaceuticals and/or medical devices through development, regulatory approval, and commercialization.
  • Demonstrated ability to optimize clinical operations via automation, AI, and technology-enabled processes.
  • Experience with cross-functional leadership and regulatory strategy.
  • Expertise with real-world evidence generation, digital endpoints, and decentralized clinical trial models.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to operate at executive and governance levels.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with biotech/pharma partnerships and serving on joint governance boards.

Equal Employment Opportunity: 

Click Therapeutics is committed to equal opportunity in the terms and conditions of employment for all employees and job applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender identity or gender expression, national origin, disability or veteran status. Click Therapeutics also complies with all applicable national, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment as well as employment eligibility verification requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. All applicants must have authorization to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. In certain circumstances it may be advantageous to Click Therapeutics to support the application(s) for temporary visa classification and/or sponsor applications for permanent residence so that a foreign national colleague can accept or remain in a work assignment in the U. S. For certain classes of temporary visas, the resulting work authorization may be specific to Click Therapeutics and the specific job and/or work site. Click Therapeutics may at its business discretion decide to or refrain from obtaining, maintaining

and/or extending the temporary visa status and/or sponsoring a colleague for permanent residency and /or employment eligibility, considering factors such as availability of qualified U.S. workers and the colleague's long-term prospects for securing lawful permanent residence, among other reasons. Employment applicants requiring immigration sponsorship must disclose, when initial application for employment is made, whether or not they are legally authorized to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. and, if so, whether that authorization permits them to work in the job they seek. In no case should Click Therapeutics support of a colleague's temporary visa application or sponsorship of a colleague for permanent residence be construed to guarantee success of that application or amend or otherwise invalidate the "at-will" employment relationship between the colleague and Click Therapeutics.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
