Chief Product & Technology Officer

Location: Copenhagen (hybrid)

Since our inception in 2015 in Denmark, Liva has been a pioneer in the field of digital behaviour change. Our ambition is to empower 1 million people by 2030 to improve their health and well-being by preventing and managing chronic conditions through digitally-powered, evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

Headquartered in Copenhagen and London, our collaborations with healthcare systems - including the NHS, life science companies and health insurers - allow us to impact lives at scale. In 2025 we acquired Momenta, a leading developer and provider of evidence-based, outcome driven, healthy lifestyle solutions that help people negotiate the many day-to-day challenges they face in living healthier lives, with a focus on weight management.

We are scaling a category-leading digital health platform for lifestyle-related chronic disease, combining SaaS, clinical programmes, and full-service care delivery across Europe and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

As we continue our growth journey, we are now seeking a Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) to own the end-to-end product and technology strategy, execution, and platform evolution ensuring that Liva delivers clinically credible, regulator-ready, scalable products that create measurable outcomes for patients, providers, payers, and partners.
