Montu UK
We are a fast-growing healthtech specialising in cannabis-based medicines, combining digital healthcare, clinical expertise, and pharmacy operations to improve access to safe, evidence-led care. Our mission is to build a clinically credible, patient-centred service that not only delivers care today but actively contributes to the evidence base shaping the future of medical cannabis. Research is central to that mission. About the role As Head of Research, you will own and lead our research strategy end-to-end. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can operate at both strategic and delivery level - designing a research roadmap, building partnerships, and translating real-world clinical data into high-quality evidence that informs practice, policy, and product development.
