Volunteer roles in Wales

What if your ability to build partnerships could accelerate the future of women’s health research?

ENDOless is building a privacy-first, AI-powered data infrastructure dedicated to women’s chronic conditions.
We start with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.
But our ambition goes far beyond.
We are here to build the data layer that has been missing in women’s health — across chronic pain, hormonal disorders, mental health correlations, autoimmune patterns, cardiovascular signals, and beyond.
Not another period app.
A research-grade, structured, multimodal women’s health data platform.
And to make this real, we need strong research partnerships across Europe.

�� Your Role

You will be the person who opens the institutional doors.
As Business Developer – Research Partnerships, you will:

• Identify and approach university hospitals, clinical networks, public research institutes, and private research organizations across Europe
• Engage principal investigators, research directors, and innovation leads
• Position ENDOless as a strategic research data partner
• Structure and close pilot collaborations
• Navigate conversations around GDPR, ethics committees, data governance, and EU research funding frameworks
• Build a pipeline aligned with our regulatory and fundraising milestones

This is not transactional sales.
This is trust-based, long-cycle partnership building in European healthcare.
You will directly influence:

• Clinical validation
• Paid research pilots
• Institutional credibility
• Strategic revenue streams

You are not supporting sales.
You are building it.

�� Who You Are

• Based in Europe
• Fluent in English (French is a strong plus)
• Experienced in healthcare business development, research partnerships, clinical innovation, or institutional sales
• Comfortable speaking with professors, clinicians, regulatory advisors, and public institutions
• Familiar with:
  • GDPR and European health data realities
  • Ethics approvals and data governance
  • The emerging European Health Data Space (EHDS)
  • EU research funding structures (Horizon Europe, national grants, etc.)
  • Long procurement and trust-building cycles

You understand that Europe moves slowly — but once credibility is earned, it compounds.
You think structurally, not opportunistically.

Why This Role Matters

Women’s health data is fragmented, biased, and underfunded.
Researchers lack structured, longitudinal, multimodal real-world data focused on women.
We are building that missing infrastructure.
This role is foundational.
Without strong partnerships, there is no validation.
Without validation, there is no systemic change.

�� What You Gain

• Strategic exposure to the European health innovation ecosystem
• Direct collaboration with the founder and CTO
• Influence over commercial and research roadmap
• Equity opportunity aligned with fundraising milestones
• A chance to build something category-defining

You will not just “close deals.”
You will help reshape how women’s health research is conducted.

About ENDOless

ENDOless integrates:

• Structured symptom tracking across 15+ dimensions
• Wearable physiological data (HRV, sleep, stress, activity)
• Environmental and behavioral context
• AI-powered predictive modeling
• Research-ready, compliant datasets

We enable:

• Digital biomarker exploration
• Real-world data access for researchers
• AI model validation studies
• Clinical pilot programs
• Research-as-a-Service infrastructure

We operate under European regulatory standards (GDPR-first, cloud compliance roadmap, regulatory progression toward medical certification).
Our long-term vision:
To become the reference women’s health real-world data platform in Europe.

You’ll provide strategic leadership and oversight, working closely with the CEO and leadership team to help us achieve our goals and deliver lasting impact.

Trustees take part in board meetings and may also contribute to subcommittees or working groups focused on areas such as finance, risk, events, and safeguarding.

You may also represent Community Resource externally, helping to build relationships with partners, supporters, and stakeholders and attend inspiring events that celebrate and support rural communities across Shropshire.

Requirements
We’re particularly keen to hear from individuals with current or recent senior-level experience in areas such as law, business accounting, IT, cybersecurity, health, or entrepreneurship. These skills are especially valuable as we navigate growth and innovation.

However, we also warmly welcome interest from those with other relevant expertise or lived experience that could benefit our organisation and enrich the board’s perspective.

Location
Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Salary
Unremunerated, but reasonable expenses may be reimbursed.

The board meets eight times a year, combining in person and online sessions (usually Tuesdays, 4– 7pm), including our AGM. Additionally, there is an annual trustee and leadership team away day.

Length of term
All trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years and are eligible to re-stand for election for up to a maximum of two subsequent terms.
