Job Summary
The Clinical AI Specialist, RN is a new kind of nursing role, one that sits at the intersection of clinical expertise, artificial intelligence, and health system transformation. You will become the foremost expert on Qualified Health's AI-powered clinical tools, using them to help leading health systems identify and close gaps in patient care that would otherwise go unaddressed.
In this role, you'll be credentialed and embedded at partner health systems, working directly alongside their clinical teams while representing Qualified Health. You'll use AI-driven insights to ensure patients get the care they need across cardiology, vascular, preventive screening, and beyond. You'll also serve as a critical bridge between our product team and the clinical frontlines: shaping how our tools evolve, training nurses and staff at partner sites, and helping build the playbook for how AI-powered clinical operations actually work in practice.
This is not a traditional nursing job, and it's not a desk job. It's a high-autonomy, high-impact role where your clinical judgment, people skills, and comfort with technology will directly determine how many patients receive better care. This role reports to Clinical Operations Leadership.
The ideal candidate is a resourceful, tech-forward nurse who builds strong relationships effortlessly and is energized by doing something that hasn't been done before. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help define a new role in healthcare and grow into leading a team as we scale.
