Vice President Marketing Full Time NEW

Position Summary

May Health is a precommercial stage, venture backed, medical device company committed to transforming care for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is an endocrine disorder which affects >10% of women of childbearing age. PCOS is a leading cause of female factor infertility, as women with PCOS are unable to ovulate consistently or at all. In addition to fertility struggles, women suffer for years from hormonal imbalance which causes irregular periods, acne, thinning scalp hair, and excess hair growth on the face and body. Half of PCOS sufferers will develop type 2 diabetes by the time they are 40, and all are at increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

May Health’s Anavi System enables a one-time, office-based procedure intended to restore ovulation in women with PCOS-related infertility who do not respond to, are contraindicated to, or decline first-line therapies. The company is advancing development of this novel treatment approach in the U.S. under its REBALANCE pivotal IDE trial in eligible women with PCOS-related infertility. The study is designed to support submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing authorization. May Health has also achieved a CE Mark for the Anavi System and is planning for a limited European launch in 2027.

May Health’s VP Marketing will report directly to the CEO to develop, communicate, and ensure implementation of the Company’s commercial strategy and objectives across the organization. A pivotal member of the leadership team, the role of May Health’s VP Marketing is multifaceted, involving strategic planning, marketing leadership, business development, product management, support for cross-functional initiatives including clinical trial execution and regulatory submissions, and special projects as needed.
