Head of US-Market

About Hilo by Aktiia

High blood pressure is the world's most common disease, causing 18M deaths each year. At Hilo by Aktiia, we're building a world where no lives are lost to its effects — with technology that helps people take control of their health. 

We're a venture-backed scale-up with $96M raised from investors in Europe and the US. Rooted in 18 years of research at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), our device is the world's only medically accurate, cuffless, continuous blood pressure monitor for daily use — clinically validated and CE Marked as a Class IIa medical device, now available in 12 countries. In July, we launched in the US. 

We're a remote-first company headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, united by our passion for impact and innovation. 
Role Overview

This is a unique opportunity to build and scale one of Hilo's most important markets from the ground up. 

As Head of US Market, you own the US commercial strategy and act as Hilo's internal champion for the US customer — ensuring the entire organization builds, prioritizes, and communicates with the US market in mind. You are the primary on-the-ground representative of Hilo in the US, steering strategy and coordinating closely with our centralized execution team to make sure everything we do is best-in-class and locally relevant. 

This is a career-defining opportunity to push outside your comfort zone, with outsized personal growth and outsized impact — on the business, and on the lives of millions of Americans living with high blood pressure. 

Location: US-based, preferably East Coast, must be authorised to work in the United States, with regular travel to events, KOL meetings, and partner conversations. The role requires minimum half-day working hours to overlap with our European-based team (CET), and travel to team and business events quarterly (or as needed).
