Cleerly
Director, Clinical Core Lab
About Cleerly
We’re Cleerly – a healthcare company that’s revolutionizing how heart disease is diagnosed, treated, and tracked. Founded in 2017 by a world-leading cardiologist, we are a growing team of world‑class engineering, operations, medical affairs, marketing, and sales leaders. We raised $223M in Series C funding in 2022 and an additional $106M in a Series C extension in December 2024. Most teams work remotely with access to offices in Denver, Colorado; New York, New York; Dallas, Texas; and Lisbon, Portugal, with some roles requiring on‑site presence.
Cleerly has created a new standard of care for heart disease through value‑based, AI‑driven precision diagnostic solutions. Our technology comprehensively quantifies and characterizes atherosclerosis in each heart artery, supported by a decade of world‑class clinical trials. We use Google Workspace, Slack, Confluence/Jira, and Zoom; prior experience with these tools is a plus.
While we are mainly remote, travel is required for team meetings and cross‑functional projects, typically once per month or once per quarter. Some roles, such as sales or external‑facing positions, may require up to 90% travel.
