<div><strong style="font-size: 16px;">About Numan </strong></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Founded in 2018, we’ve already grown to be a 300+ team distributed across the globe, united by a singular mission: empowering people to take control of their health.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Numan is transforming health: we’ve built a cutting-edge platform that integrates diagnostics, medication, supplements, digital programmes, and doctor consultations. Giving people the tools they need to maximise life.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">To deliver on our transformative mission, we are guided by our 5 company values: </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">• Patients first.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">• Learn fast.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">• Own the quality.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">• Succeed together.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">• Care deeply.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Backed by top-tier investors, Numan is already having a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of patients here in the UK, and we want you to help us deliver this mission!</span></div><div><br></div><div><strong>The Role: </strong></div> <div> <p>The Commercial Director, Obesity owns the business in its entirety: the proposition, the P&L and the commercial outcomes. If obesity grows profitably, it's because this person made the right calls. If it doesn't, they'll already know why.</p> <p>Most of the levers sit in other teams. Marketing, CRM, product, pricing and clinical ops all shape the obesity P&L, so the Commercial Director has to direct resource they don't own. That resource is won with a clear commercial case and the numbers to back it.</p> <p>The person who excels here thinks like a founder. They know CAC, CM2, cohort retention and approval rate without being asked, and they read the weekly numbers hunting for the problem before anyone flags it. They care about patients, who come to Numan at a personal moment and need to trust us before they'll stay.</p> </div><br><strong>You will: </strong><br><div> <li> <p>Own patient growth, revenue and CM2 for obesity. Set the plan, make the trade-offs and be accountable for the outcome.</p> </li> <li> <p>Decide what we sell, at what price and on what commitment. Better unit economics and a wider funnel often pull in opposite directions; this role finds the balance and makes the call.</p> </li> <li> <p>Lead the obesity commercial team and run the weekly obesity forum. Point marketing, CRM, product and clinical ops at the highest priorities.</p> </li> <li> <p> Own the commercial relationships with Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly at UK leadership level, from launch planning to data sharing agreements.</p> </li> <li> <p>Every commercial decision lands inside clinical guardrails. Build a relationship with the clinical team where each side trusts the other's judgement, because patients need both.</p> </li> <li> <p>Bring hands-on experience of AI in a commercial setting: analysis, forecasting, CRM,</p> </li> </div><br><strong>You'll have: </strong><br><div> <li> <p>P&L ownership in a D2C subscription, marketplace or consumer health business, ideally one fighting well funded competitors for the same customer.</p> </li> <li> <p>Fluent in unit economics, and comfortable going from a cohort table to a pricing decision in the same meeting.</p> </li> <li> <p>A track record of driving growth through teams they don't manage directly.</p> </li> <li> <p>Strong product instincts, held loosely. They'll drop an idea they love when the numbers say so.</p> </li> <li> <p>Real examples of deploying AI and changing how a team works as a result.</p> </li> <li> <p>Experience in a regulated market (healthcare, financial services, insurance) is a plus.</p> </li> </div><div><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Our benefits include...</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">📈  -  Share options.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🏖  -  25 days holiday, plus bank holidays (increasing to 30 the longer you stay with Numan). </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🩺  -  Health insurance with </span><a href="https://www.vitality.co.uk/" style="font-size: 16px;">Vitality</a><span style="font-size: 16px;">.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">🚘  - Electric car salary sacrifice scheme with </span><a href="https://octopus.energy/" style="font-size: 12pt;">Octopus</a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🧸  -  Enhanced maternity and parental leave. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🥳  -  A day off on your Birthday! </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🐥  -  Nursery benefit provided by </span><a href="https://t.eu.lever-analytics.com/email-link?dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yellownest.co.uk%2F&eid=6e6c0e9a-759a-40bb-9652-414e62aca13d&idx=1&token=Gvi_-dygDyEsLomYdt9DxV5Kh4g" style="font-size: 16px;">YellowNest</a><span style="font-size: 16px;">.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">💼  -  Employee assistance programme (access to therapy, financial planning and discounts).</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">⚖️  -  Generous pension (includes both employee and employer contributions).</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">💻  -  Flexible working options, including a dog-friendly office in Farringdon. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">📚  -  Personal training and development budget via Learnerbly. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">👟  -  Wellhub membership, giving you access to over 2,000 locations in the UK. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🚲  -  Cycle to work scheme.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🚆  -  Season ticket loan. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">%   -  Discount on Numan products for your friends and family.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">🤲  -  Paid volunteering days. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">📅  -  An additional 2 weeks off once you reach your 5th anniversary with Numan.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Diversity at Numan</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">At Numan, people are at the heart of who we are.
