Description

About Us Hippocratic AI is the leading generative AI company in healthcare. We have the only system that can have safe, autonomous, clinical conversations with patients. We have trained our own LLMs as part of our Polaris constellation, resulting in a system with over 99.9% accuracy. Why Join Our Team Reinvent healthcare with AI that puts safety first. We’re building the world’s first healthcare‑only, safety‑focused LLM — a breakthrough platform designed to transform patient outcomes at a global scale. This is category creation. Work with the people shaping the future. Hippocratic AI was co‑founded by CEO Munjal Shah and a team of physicians, hospital leaders, AI pioneers, and researchers from institutions like El Camino Health, Johns Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Backed by the world’s leading healthcare and AI investors. We recently raised a $126M Series C at a $3.5B valuation, led by Avenir Growth, bringing total funding to $404M with participation from CapitalG, General Catalyst, a16z, Kleiner Perkins, Premji Invest, UHS, Cincinnati Children’s, WellSpan Health, John Doerr, Rick Klausner, and others. Build alongside the best in healthcare and AI. Join experts who’ve spent their careers improving care, advancing science, and building world‑changing technologies — ensuring our platform is powerful, trusted, and truly transformative. Location Requirement We believe the best ideas happen together. To support fast collaboration and a strong team culture, this role is expected to be in our Palo Alto office five days a week, unless otherwise specified. About the Role We are seeking a senior Medical Affairs leader to define and scale the medical foundation of our AI-powered healthcare platform. This role serves as the executive authority on medical strategy, MLR governance, and non-promotional engagement, while helping shape how AI responsibly transforms Medical Affairs across pharma and medtech. This is not a traditional Medical Affairs role. We are looking for a forward-thinking leader who has run MLR committees, deeply understands what is permissible from a medical and compliance perspective, and uses that expertise to enable innovation rather than slow it down. What You’ll Do Own and define the medical affairs and MLR governance model across products and partnerships. Act as the senior internal authority on what is acceptable from a medical, non-promotional, and MLR perspective. Partner with Product, Engineering, and Research to translate medical workflows into safe, scalable AI-enabled solutions. Shape medical-facing capabilities such as medical information, scientific exchange, MSL support, and future HCP-facing innovations. Join external customer and partner calls to reinforce that proposed solutions are medically appropriate and MLR-aligned. Establish clear guardrails that allow teams to move quickly while maintaining credibility with pharma and medtech stakeholders. What You Bring Must‑Have: MD, PharmD, PhD, or equivalent advanced scientific/medical degree. Typically 10–18+ years in Medical Affairs across pharma and/or medical devices. Direct experience running or chairing MLR committees, with a strong practical sense of how decisions are made. Deep understanding of non-promotional medical standards and governance expectations in regulated environments. Executive presence and credibility with senior medical, legal, compliance, and commercial leaders. Comfort operating in ambiguity and building new operating models. Nice‑to‑Have Curious about AI, digital health, and emerging technologies. Experience working in or alongside startups, digital teams, or agile environments. A “yes-with-guardrails” mindset: pragmatic, enabling, and forward-looking. Interest in shaping where Medical Affairs is headed over the next 5–10 years. What We’re Looking For A Medical Affairs leader who is trusted by traditional pharma and medtech organizations, energized by building what’s next, and confident in helping others move forward safely.
