Our Clinical Research Team

Noom's Clinical Research team generates rigorous, fit-for-purpose evidence that advances our mission across our portfolio of health offerings.

About the Role

You Will

• Design and execute clinical trials, pragmatic studies, and real-world evidence (RWE) initiatives across behavioral programs and digital interventions
• Adapt study designs, endpoints, and levels of rigor based on business and regulatory requirements
• Execute research across traditional site-based clinical settings and decentralized/virtual environments
• Develop statistical analysis plans and oversee analytic execution with senior scientific review

• Serve as lead or contributing author on peer-reviewed publications and scientific communications
• Collaborate with academic investigators and external partners on study design, execution, and dissemination
• Translate research findings into clear, defensible insights tailored to product, marketing, medical, and legal/compliance stakeholders
• Align research designs with downstream business use cases while upholding scientific integrity
• Represent Noom's research function in cross-functional and external forums
