We are hiring!

Madrid Health Hub is part of Barcelona & Madrid Health Hub, a non-profit association dedicated to accelerating innovation in digital health and its adoption across the healthcare sector.

With more than 600 members including startups, corporations, healthcare providers, universities and investors, our mission is to connect the key players in healthcare innovation and help transform the future of health.

As Madrid Health Hub continues to grow, we are looking for two Innovation Developers to join our team.

Role Overview:

As an Innovation Developer, you will help connect healthcare organizations, corporations, startups, investors and public institutions to drive innovation in healthcare. Based in Madrid, you will work closely with the Open Innovation team located in Barcelona and play an active role in developing and executing innovation initiatives across both hubs.

This role combines ecosystem development, open innovation and business development. We are looking for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships, identifying opportunities and helping grow the Madrid Health Hub ecosystem.

This is a newly created position. We are looking for someone who enjoys building, creating structure and taking ownership. If you are looking for a highly structured environment with clearly defined processes and routines already in place, this role is probably not the right fit. If you enjoy identifying opportunities, taking initiative and helping shape how things are done, you will thrive here.

Processes & Ways of working

• Manage and optimize HubSpot, including workflow automation, data quality, reporting, and process standardization to support business objectives.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree.
• Strong interest in innovation, digital health, healthcare transformation and entrepreneurship.
• Experience in innovation, partnerships, business development, consulting, healthcare, startups or ecosystem building is highly valued.
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
