Country Manager Portugal

February 19, 2025

Job Description

At Tandem, we are revolutionising healthcare – an industry that is deeply broken in terms of what clinicians actually spend their time on. It is simply not sustainable that clinicians should spend >40% of their time on admin, and that 9 out of 10 doctors state they are unable to finish their administrative tasks during working hours.

Our solution is a clinician copilot, enabling clinicians to focus on care instead of on administrative tasks. We are building this copilot module by module, starting with the most time consuming admin task of writing medical notes. The core of our product is therefore an ambient scribe – which transcribes the patient doctor interaction, and based on it generates a medical note.

Since founding the company in August 2023, we’ve seen rapid growth and are live with hundreds of care providers using the product every day, backed by tier-1 European VCs.

Tandem now generates 1000s of medical notes every day, saving clinicians valuable time while also improving their work environment and the quality of care.

Why join us?!

Build a product that actually matters

By helping with administrative tasks we free up time and resources to focus on delivering what actually is important, great patient outcomes.

Deliver value to users right now, not in some promised future

Our product is already loved by users and saving them 50-70% of their admin time. It is extremely rewarding to hear user stories such as psychiatrists describing how they used to spend 1-2 hours every evening on writing medical notes and now have gotten their evenings back, or an 83-year old doctor with excitement telling us how this is the first new product he has adopted in over a decade.

Build something monumental for healthcare

We won’t stop until all healthcare providers have tooling fit for the AI-era. This is an industry filled with legacy solutions, where the potential improvements are massive.

Join a tight knit team on a mission

We are a world class team of engineers, doctors, and business people. Our mission is grand, and we are also setting out to enjoy our journey there.

Country Manager Portugal

As Country Manager, you will lead the establishment and drive the successful growth of Tandem in the Portugese market. Building on our proven product and expansion model, you will take full ownership of getting from zero to one — from strategic planning, spotting key opportunities, forging strategic partnerships, and rolling out Tandem’s clinician co-pilot across a variety of care providers. Once you’ve demonstrated tangible traction, you’ll also be responsible for building a local team to enable us to as quickly as possible bring Tandem to all clinicians in your market.

Working closely with both commercial and product colleagues, you will help tailor our solution to meet local market needs—ultimately making a meaningful difference in healthcare delivery.

Who are you?

  • You have a strong background within medicine or healthtech.
  • You’re passionate about bringing innovative healthcare solutions to market and working closely with our users.
  • You possess strong leadership skills and an entrepreneurial mindset, thriving in roles where you can set direction and drive growth.
  • You thrive working with other world-class people, in an organisation where the best idea wins.
  • You have a deep understanding of the local healthcare ecosystem, from payors and providers to system suppliers (e.g. EHRs).
  • Ultimately, you’re excited about transforming European healthcare and embracing the journey every step of the way.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in the healthcare sector, whether as a clinician, in a commercial role or a combination of both.
  • Strong network in your local healthcare market.
  • Proven entrepreneurial experience—or equivalent commercial exposure—that demonstrates your ability to build something from the ground up.

Practicalities

  • Our compensation for this position is based on experience, and also includes equity incentives.
  • This is a full-time role based in either Lisbon or Stockholm. Dependent on your primary location, you are expected to travel to customers in Portugal or regular trips to Stockholm.
