Scientific or Medical Co-Founder, Berlin & Erfurt

OhMyV is an early-stage biotech startup reinventing sexual health prevention, building microbiome-safe STI prevention and contraception designed specifically for vulva health. We have a product in the market and another one on its way. I'm now looking for the right co-founder to own our scientific direction.

This is not a job. There's no salary, no job description handed to you, no manager checking in. You'd be coming in as a co-founder with real equity, real ownership, and real responsibility for shaping where this company goes.

The reality is, right now it's a lot of work. I work evenings and weekends because the work needs doing, and that's just where we are as an early-stage company. As we grow, hire, and secure further funding, that changes. But for now, the right person will understand this and be in it with me. They're energised by building something from scratch, comfortable with ambiguity, and the kind of person who creates momentum rather than waiting for it.

If that sounds like your natural way of working, we'd probably get along well.

Tasks

What you'll own

• R&D strategy and product development, from concept through clinical validation and regulatory approval
• Research protocols, testing methodologies and scientific partnerships
• The bridge between clinical evidence and commercial product design
• OhMyV's scientific credibility as we scale

Requirements

Who I'm looking for

A scientist or engineer with a PhD or MSc in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Microbiology or a related field - ideally with experience in medical device or biomaterial development.

Or a clinician; a gynaecologist, sexual medicine specialist, or women's health professional, who wants to take their understanding of vulva health and translate it into products that actually fill the gap (literally!).

Either way: self-directed, entrepreneurially and business minded, and ready to commit.

Benefits

What we offer

• Significant equity as a co-founder
• Full autonomy to build and lead the scientific strategy
• A company with traction and a pipeline in development
• A founder who is all-in on this mission, and looking for someone who is too

Location: Berlin/Erfurt (other EU/UK candidates welcome)

We're building products that solve real problems while embracing the fact that sexual health should be pleasurable, not just protective.

If you're ready to apply your scientific excellence to an area that deserves better solutions, and you're comfortable with the intensity of startup life - let's connect!
