Medical Director

THE MISSION 💪 No one should suffer from a treatable skin disease because they couldn't access care. That's what Honeydew is fixing — a platform connecting hundreds of millions of people to licensed dermatologists, FDA-approved treatments, and ongoing skin health support. We've helped 50,000+ patients get life-changing results, we're growing 5x YoY, and we're just getting started. THE OPPORTUNITY 📈 Honeydew is building the country's largest online dermatology workforce while growing 5x YoY — and we need a clinical leader to help us get to the next stage. As Medical Director, you will be the right hand to our CMO, Dr. Joel Spitz https://www.honeydew.com/authors/joel-spitz-md, shaping how hundreds of providers deliver care, launching treatment pathways for new and emerging skin conditions, shaping how AI gets woven into provider workflows, and helping figure out what dermatology at scale should actually look like. You'll be in the mix — working directly with providers, partnering with product on tools that change how care gets delivered, and building the clinical infrastructure that lets us grow from tens of thousands of patients to 1M without sacrificing an ounce of quality. This role is best suited for someone who'd rather be three years into building a healthcare executive career than three years into a job that looks the same as it does today. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD (YOUR FIRST 6 MONTHS) 🛠️ At Honeydew, we focus on outcomes over activities. In your first 180 days, you will own these three milestones: 1. Advance Innovative Treatments: Partner with the CMO and Clinical Ops lead to design and roll out treatment workflows for at least one existing or new condition — from protocol development through provider training and go-live. 2. Scale the Provider Network: Personally meet every provider 1:1, assess strengths and gaps, and establish the performance framework — scorecards, quarterly reviews, productivity benchmarks — that supports a world-class remote dermatology workforce. 3. Build the Clinical Infrastructure: Stand up the QA systems, SOPs, and escalation workflows that give us confidence in the consistency of care as we grow — and keep us audit-ready at every stage.
