VP of Data

Why Oviva?

At Oviva, we're transforming how healthcare is delivered. Through our award-winning digital health programmes, we've already supported over a million people living with weight-related conditions such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

By combining behavioural change therapy, proprietary technology, and a team of passionate people, we're making sustainable, effective care accessible to everyone, wherever they are. Join us to scale the data infrastructure and analytics capability that powers a healthier future for millions.

The Role

We're hiring a VP of Data to level up and unify our data leadership, modernise our platforms, and scale data capabilities across Oviva's growing international operations. This role will lead our Data Platform, Business Intelligence, and Data Science teams, creating alignment between strategic ambition and execution in a fast-scaling healthcare business.

You'll bring experience from a complex growth or transformation environment, where you've not only built high-performing data teams but also structured platforms that enabled efficiency and self-service at scale. This is a hands-on executive role with both operational and strategic scope, managing up to 25 data professionals and driving architectural clarity, engineering rigour, and business partnership.

You'll report directly to the CTO and partner closely with Product, Commercial, and Clinical leadership teams across Germany, the UK, Switzerland, and Poland.

What You Bring

• Proven success leading multi-disciplinary data functions through transformation, within high-growth environments
• Deep understanding of modern data architectures, cloud platforms, and scalable analytics ecosystems
• Strong leadership and people development capabilities, particularly in managing technical teams across functions
• Ability to define and operationalise data standards and processes across the stack (e.g. lifecycle, access, code quality)
• Excellent stakeholder management across business, product, and engineering functions
• Experience in regulated industries (e.g. healthtech or fintech) or multi-jurisdictional environments is a plus
• A background in engineering or data architecture is helpful but not essential

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve Oviva's data strategy, combining platform vision with operational excellence across BI, Data Science, and Engineering functions
• Build and lead a scalable, centralised data platform and embed analytics partnerships with cross-functional teams
• Lead a 20–25 person data organisation, driving clarity on talent levelling, expectations, and development pathways
• Standardise and optimise data workflows, from naming conventions and lifecycle management to code quality and peer reviews
• Bring long-term thinking to platform design to mitigate exploding complexity and increase the speed of delivery
• Drive measurable business value through robust governance, real-time insights, and predictive analytics capabilities
• Champion data as a strategic enabler for AI-powered products and services

What We Offer

• A pivotal role with strategic impact in one of Europe's fastest-growing healthtech companies
• A mission-driven culture and a business at the intersection of data, AI, and healthcare transformation
• Flexible working options (remote, hybrid)
• Competitive compensation
• A collaborative and values-driven team
