Job details

Chief Medical Officer (CMO)

About Us: Artera is a leading precision medicine company developing AI tests to personalize cancer therapy. Artera offers an AI-enabled test that is the first of its kind to provide both predictive and prognostic results for patients with localized prostate cancer: ArteraAI Prostate Test.  


Artera’s multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) biomarker test leverages a unique algorithm that assesses digital images from a patient’s biopsy and learns from a patient’s clinical data. The ArteraAI test combines this information to determine prognosis and predict whether a patient will benefit from a particular therapy.  The test has been validated using many Phase 3 randomized trials yielding level 1B evidence and inclusion within the NCCN guidelines.


The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) is a core member of the executive leadership team and the primary medical spokesperson for the company. This leader is responsible for setting and communicating the medical vision for where the company should go - identifying the most important clinical unmet needs to address and ensuring these align with meaningful business impact. The CMO will shape the company’s clinical strategy, build a strong pipeline of high-quality data and strategic collaborators, communicate with key opinion leaders, and guide the organization toward innovations that will make a measurable difference for cancer patients. In particular, the CMO must be a highly credible and influential voice within the cancer community, with trusted relationships among leading oncologists and KOLs that can accelerate adoption and shape standards of care.

This role requires a practicing or former oncologist (radiation oncologist or medical oncologist) who deeply understands what will be clinically impactful and can translate that insight into company direction. While experience leading medical affairs, clinical development, or biostatistics teams is valuable, the defining quality of a strong CMO is their ability to craft medical strategy and influence the field.


Key Responsibilities:

Vision & Strategic Direction

  • Define and communicate a clear medical vision that aligns clinical opportunities with the company’s mission and commercial strategy.

  • Identify and prioritize clinical unmet needs with the greatest potential for patient benefit and market impact.

  • Serve as the primary medical spokesperson for the company with internal teams, investors, collaborators, and the broader oncology community.

  • Anticipate shifts in oncology practice, ensuring the company is positioned ahead of the curve.

Data & Collaborator Pipeline

  • Oversee strategies to build and maintain a high-quality, scalable clinical data pipeline that fuels product development, validation, and innovation.

  • Cultivate a strong network of academic partners, clinical collaborators, and key opinion leaders to advance the company’s scientific and commercial goals.

  • Ensure clinical evidence generation plans support both scientific credibility and payer adoption.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with product, R&D, and commercial teams to integrate clinical insight into portfolio strategy.

  • Translate complex clinical and scientific data into actionable business decisions.

Departmental Leadership

  • Lead clinical development and biostatistics teams to design, execute, and interpret clinical studies that support product development.

  • Lead medical affairs teams to educate the clinical impact of the test with clinicians. 

  • Lead team of physician leaders synthesizing collective clinical voice and expertise 


Key Competencies:
  • Deep understanding of oncology practice, unmet needs, and pathways to adoption

    • Comes with a strong network of KOLs and research communities, especially within prostate cancer

    • Able to work across cancers

  • Visionary thinker who anticipates shifts in the clinical landscape and ensures research addresses the most impactful questions.

  • Skilled and persuasive communicator who inspires confidence across clinical, scientific, and business stakeholders.

  • Proven ability to build high-value partnerships and collaborative relationships to fuel a robust data pipeline as well as maintain strong relationships with influential groups, like guidelines committees.

  • Decisive leader who can cut through uncertainty, guide teams with clarity, and balance scientific rigor with business priorities.

  • Ensures the medical organization remains quick, nimble, and adaptable in a rapidly evolving oncology landscape
