Head of Clinical Development, Pulse in New York at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Head of Clinical Development, Pulse based in United States.

This is a senior clinical leadership role responsible for shaping clinical outcomes across an AI-powered cardiometabolic care program.
You will guide the clinical strategy for solutions spanning hypertension, pre-diabetes, diabetes, obesity, and GLP-1 support.
The role combines clinical expertise, product development, AI governance, clinical quality, and external thought leadership.
You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical Operations, Go-to-Market, and Clinical Affairs & Research teams to embed clinical rigor throughout the product lifecycle.
A key focus will be ensuring that AI-supported care experiences operate within clearly defined therapeutic boundaries, safety standards, and evidence-based guidelines.
You will also serve as a credible external clinical voice, translating clinical evidence and outcomes into compelling narratives for customers, partners, and industry audiences.
This opportunity is ideal for a clinically experienced leader who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and wants to help define the future of AI-native healthcare.

• Establish clinical validation standards for new features, workflows, interventions, and AI-supported experiences before and after launch.
• Provide clinical leadership throughout product development, calibrating the level of clinical rigor required based on the risk and impact of each feature.
• Bring clinical expertise to product requirements, feature scoping, and refinement of product requirement documents.
• Analyze member and clinician feedback and translate clinical insights into roadmap, program, protocol, product, workflow, and training improvements.
• Monitor and interpret clinical outcomes to identify drivers of improvement, decline, or variation and recommend appropriate interventions.
• Identify clinical constraints and risks early in development to ensure solutions are clinically appropriate and aligned with intended outcomes.
• Define the intended clinical role, therapeutic boundaries, and prohibited behaviors of AI-supported care experiences.
• Partner with Product and AI teams to establish clinical guidelines, guardrails, knowledge requirements, escalation pathways, and other safety mechanisms.
• Co-develop clinical evaluation rubrics, acceptance criteria, release thresholds, and annotation requirements for AI-driven care experiences.
• Develop clinical content and examples to support annotator training and ensure consistent evaluation of AI behavior.
• Interpret clinical feedback from annotation and evaluation processes and help determine whether prompts, guardrails, training, evaluation criteria, or product behavior should change.
• Contribute to post-launch clinical monitoring, interpret findings, and recommend appropriate corrective or enhancement actions.
• Represent the clinical perspective on relevant internal AI monitoring, clinical quality, and governance boards.
• Serve as an external clinical spokesperson with customers, health plan leaders, clinical audiences, conferences, and due-diligence stakeholders.
• Author clinical materials including whitepapers, talk tracks, evidence narratives, and claims language that can withstand rigorous external scrutiny.
• Build clinical infrastructure, processes, and standards in an environment where priorities evolve rapidly and functions may be established from an early stage.

Requirements

• Licensed clinician with an MD, DO, NP, RD, or PharmD qualification and 8+ years of clinical experience, including at least 3 years in a clinical leadership position within digital health, health-tech, or value-based care.
• Deep clinical expertise across cardiometabolic conditions, including hypertension, pre-diabetes, diabetes, obesity, and GLP-1 therapeutics.
• Demonstrated experience owning a clinical outcomes framework, including defining metrics, evidence standards, and the connection between clinical outcomes and commercial value.
• Proven track record serving as the external clinical voice for a healthcare product, with confidence engaging CMOs, health plan medical directors, clinical audiences, conference participants, and due-diligence stakeholders.
• Direct experience partnering with product and engineering teams to translate clinical requirements into product features, operational workflows, and AI behavior rather than simply reviewing completed solutions.
• Strong understanding of clinical guardrails, evaluation criteria, safety requirements, and governance considerations for AI-supported or AI-driven healthcare experiences.
• Excellent writing, communication, and narrative-building skills, with the ability to personally develop high-quality clinical and commercial materials.
• Strong technical and clinical judgment, with the ability to influence cross-functional decisions and communicate complex clinical concepts clearly.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and establishing clinical processes, standards, and infrastructure from a limited starting point.
• Demonstrated AI fluency, with practical experience using AI tools to improve individual productivity, develop team workflows, or embed AI into products and processes, depending on experience level.
• Experience developing third-party clinical partnerships, protocols, or clinical service agreements is preferred.
• Direct experience with AI-supported or AI-native care delivery, including prompt design, clinical guardrails, or evaluation frameworks, is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with cardiometabolic prescribing protocols, titration, and medication management in digital health is a plus.
• Experience with outcomes-based or value-based contracting and understanding how clinical evidence supports pricing is beneficial.
• Previous experience in a high-growth digital health environment with rapidly changing priorities is preferred.
• Applicants must have the legal right to work in the United States; immigration or work visa sponsorship is not available.

Benefits
