  • Human-in-the-Loop Design & Change Management: Design deployments that prioritize clinical safety, compliance, and user trust. Ensure AI tools enhance rather than disrupt teammate workflows while actively managing the change adoption process on the front lines.
  • Data Architecture Alignment: Utilize expertise in claims analytics and healthcare data architecture to ensure the foundational data layers required for AI agents are properly structured and functional.

  • Hybrid Expertise: A rare blend of skills sitting at the intersection of clinical care, healthcare strategy, business, and hands-on prototyping/technology.

Requirements

  • Clinical & Strategic Foundation: Deep domain knowledge of kidney care, population health, clinical delivery bottlenecks, and payer contract mechanics. (Background as a physician or experience in top-tier healthcare strategy consulting is highly relevant).
  • Proven GenAI Experience: Demonstrated track record of turning AI concepts into tangible, deployed solutions (such as GenAI-powered tools for RFP responses or clinical workflows).
  • Analytics & Data Mastery: Expert-level understanding of healthcare data architecture, claims analytics, and data transformation within health systems.
  • Constant Learning Mindset: Ability to rapidly monitor, learn, and apply the constantly shifting external AI landscape to organization-specific contexts.
