Owlet is seeking a clinically trained Medical Affairs professional to serve as the company's internal medical authority and primary external clinical voice. This individual will support the safety, education, and commercial functions of the business from a medical perspective, while leading external medical communications with healthcare providers, advisors, and the broader clinical community.

This physician will also contribute clinical expertise to Owlet 's product and data strategy — including AI-enabled workflows designed to improve infant safety, health, and sleep — ensuring that technology development is grounded in clinical evidence and real-world pediatric practice. This person will operate with broad scope and high autonomy.
Core Competencies
Strong clinical credibility and communication skills — able to engage confidently with physicians, nurses, and other HCPs as a peer.
Ability to translate clinical and scientific complexity into clear, accurate language for non-clinical audiences including Sales, Marketing, and consumers.
Comfortable operating across a broad scope in a lean, resource-constrained environment.
Collaborative, adaptable, and mission-driven — energized by the opportunity to improve outcomes for families and children.
