About Limbic
Limbic is the leading clinical AI company for mental healthcare and the largest deployment of patient-facing mental health AI in the world. Our technology has supported over half a million patients across the UK and US, helping health systems deliver higher-quality, more accessible, and more efficient care. We regulated the first AI diagnostic model for adult mental health as a Class IIa medical device, have published in top‑tier journals, won major awards, and advise governments and regulators globally on AI safety, medical devices, and the future of clinical agentic systems. Regulation is a strategic differentiator for us, and as AI moves into generative models, care‑continuum agents, and real‑time decision support, Limbic is shaping the next regulatory paradigm for healthcare AI.
The Opportunity
As Head of Compliance & Regulation, you will lead the team responsible for medical device regulation, quality management and information security.
