Job Description

At WHOOP, we are building the future of human performance and healthspan. Our wearable and platform translate continuous physiological data into insights that help millions of members train smarter, recover better, and live longer, healthier lives. As WHOOP enters its next phase of AI-driven innovation, foundation models will sit at the core of how we understand human physiology, personalize guidance, and deliver clinically meaningful insights at scale.

We are seeking a VP, Foundation AI to lead the development of WHOOP’s multimodal foundation models. These systems unify wearable sensor data, language, blood biomarkers, clinical information, and self-reported inputs to power the next generation of health intelligence. This is a rare opportunity to shape foundational technology with direct impact on real-world health outcomes, enabled by one of the world’s richest longitudinal physiological datasets and a clear mandate to deploy AI responsibly in production.

In this role, you will report to the SVP of Research, Algorithms, and Data and serve as WHOOP’s most senior technical leader for in-house foundation model development. You will define modeling and architectural strategy, guide training and scaling decisions, and ensure these models mature into robust, production-grade systems that deliver measurable value to members. Partnering closely with executive leadership, product, engineering, and clinical teams, you will align technical execution with WHOOP’s broader AI strategy and long-term business goals.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in large-scale AI with proven experience building and leading high-performing organizations. You bring scientific rigor, strong judgment, and strategic leadership to advance the frontier of applied AI in health while maintaining reliability, integrity, and member trust.
