Clinical Safety & Research Lead

Who are Heidi?

Heidi is on a mission to halve the time it takes to deliver world-class care.

We believe that by 2050, every clinician will practice with AI systems that free them from administrative burdens and increase the quality and accessibility of care to patients across the world.

Built for clinicians, by clinicians, at the core of Heidi is its people. We are an eclectic bunch of inventors, builders, scientists, nurses, doctors, mathematicians, designers, creatives, and high-agency executors.

We achieve in 6 months what it takes our competitors 4 years to do. In just 12 months, 20 million patient consults were supported by Heidi, and we’re now powering more than 1 million consults every week.

With our most recent $16.6MM round of funding from leading VC firms, we’re geared up to supercharge our ambitious global growth, starting with the US, Canada, UK and Europe – and we need great people like you to get there. Ready for the challenge?

• Governance support: partner with our governance team to sustain ISO certifications, ISO risk-management docs, manage medical-device registration technical files and QMS processes and oversee CAPA and change-control workflows

• Research leadership: design, run and publish quantitative and qualitative clinical studies on our AI scribe and productivity tool

• Quality assurance: work with Engineering, Product and Design to QA new features, ensuring every release meets clinical safety and regulatory standards
