Head of Digital Clinic

Location: brisbane
Salary: Competitive
Job Type: temporary
Contact: Alexandria Craig
Six Degrees Executive is partnering with an established Australian healthcare business, backed by an international group, to appoint a Head of Digital Clinic. Operating within a growing and evolving healthcare sector, the business has an established digital health platform connecting patients with healthcare professionals.

With a strong foundation already in place, the business is now looking to unlock the platform's commercial potential through stronger operational structure, digital optimisation and a clear strategy for sustainable growth. This is an opportunity for an experienced commercial leader to take genuine ownership of a digital healthcare business, shape its future direction and play a pivotal role in its next phase of growth.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will take responsibility for the commercial performance, operational effectiveness and strategic development of the digital clinic. This is not a traditional clinic management or marketing position. It is a commercially focused leadership role requiring a combination of digital expertise, operational capability and strategic thinking. Your initial focus will be understanding the current business performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and establishing a clear roadmap for growth. From there, you will build the commercial case for further investment, strengthen the digital offering and help position the clinic for long-term success.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Taking ownership of the clinic's commercial performance, including revenue growth, profitability and overall business performance.
  • Developing and delivering a commercial strategy focused on sustainable growth, operational efficiencies and an improved patient experience.
  • Establishing clear performance metrics across customer acquisition, conversion, retention, channel effectiveness and return on investment.
  • Reviewing the existing technology platform, identifying opportunities for improvement and leading potential technology enhancements or migrations.
  • Developing business cases and investment recommendations to support future growth and expansion.
  • Driving patient acquisition, engagement and retention strategies within a highly regulated healthcare environment.
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with healthcare professionals, pharmacy partners and external service providers.
  • Working collaboratively with Medical, Regulatory, Marketing and Finance teams to ensure commercial initiatives align with clinical and compliance requirements.
  • Identifying opportunities to strengthen internal capabilities, optimise processes and build the team as the business evolves.
You'll work with a small, established team and a broader network of internal and external stakeholders, balancing strategic leadership with hands-on delivery.

About You
We're looking for a commercially minded leader who combines strong digital capabilities with the ability to develop, optimise and grow a business. You'll be comfortable operating in an evolving environment, confident making decisions with incomplete information and motivated by the opportunity to build something with genuine commercial potential.

Ideally, you'll bring:
  • Demonstrated commercial leadership experience within digital health, healthcare technology, telehealth, subscription-based services or another highly regulated consumer-facing business.
  • Strong understanding of digital business models, customer acquisition, conversion, retention and commercial performance metrics.
  • Experience taking ownership of business performance, developing growth strategies and identifying opportunities to improve profitability.
  • Exposure to technology platforms, digital transformation or system optimisation initiatives.
  • The ability to navigate complex regulatory environments while delivering commercial outcomes.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to influence senior leadership and work collaboratively across multiple functions.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, commercial curiosity and willingness to remain hands-on.
Experience within healthcare or pharmaceuticals would be advantageous, but isn't essential. We're equally interested in individuals who bring strong commercial and digital expertise from adjacent industries.

Above all, you'll be someone who enjoys taking ownership, bringing structure to complexity and translating commercial opportunities into tangible outcomes.

What's on Offer?
  • An opportunity to take ownership of an established digital healthcare platform with significant potential for growth.
  • Direct exposure to the Managing Director and the ability to influence strategic direction and investment decisions.
  • Genuine autonomy to shape the commercial strategy, operating model and future capabilities of the business.
  • A collaborative environment within an established organisation, with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
  • Contract opportunity with an immediate start, with fixed-term or day-rate arrangements considered.
  • Hybrid working arrangements, based in Brisbane.
How to ApplyIf you're a commercially driven leader with a passion for digital innovation, business transformation and building scalable operations, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
