Medical Director

PreemptiveAI•Seattle, WA

About The Position

Prevention works. It just doesn't scale. We're changing that. Modern healthcare is built to react. Acute care handles emergencies; primary care manages conditions. But the system tends to activate too late - by the time something surfaces, the window to act early has often already closed. Preemptive is building the missing layer beneath that system: a continuous, human-guided view of how the body is changing, so care can happen before symptoms become emergencies. We turn the camera on an ordinary smartphone into a sensor that reads subtle signals from the body, build a living baseline for each patient, and pair that signal with a dedicated nurse who knows their story. Technology detects the drift; people decide what it means. And when a baseline shifts, we don't send an alert - we call with a plan. Today this comes to life through a virtual clinic serving Medicare patients. But the clinic is just the beginning. It's how we deliver care now and how we build toward something larger: a new layer of intelligence beneath healthcare that finally makes prevention scalable. We were incubated at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and are backed by leading investors who believe care should move before disease does.

Requirements

MD with an active U.S. medical license and willingness to obtain additional state licenses as needed.
Background in internal medicine, family medicine, primary care, geriatrics, or another chronic-disease-focused specialty.
Deep understanding of chronic disease management, preventive and longitudinal care, and care-management programs.
Experience leading or supervising clinical teams - providers, nurses, care managers, or care navigators.
A builder: proven ability to create workflows, protocols, documentation standards, escalation pathways, and quality and outcome-improvement programs from scratch.
Genuine excitement for the intersection of medicine, data, and machine learning - comfort interpreting model outputs and helping shape what a model learns.
A research and publication orientation, and the ambition to help define a new category of care.
Comfort in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where the model, the clinic, and the standard of care are all still being built.
Willingness to be hands-on in day-to-day clinical operations, not just provide high-level oversight.
Strong communicator who works fluidly across clinical, operations, product, payer, and leadership teams.

Nice To Haves

Startup, virtual care, RPM/CCM, or value-based care experience is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

Lead the clinical vision, strategy, and care model for the virtual clinic.
Build scalable workflows for patient onboarding, monitoring, escalation, documentation, follow-up, and care management.
Supervise and support providers, nurses, care managers, and care navigators; hire, train, and develop the clinical team.
Develop clinical protocols and standards of care for remote monitoring and chronic disease management.
Provide clinical oversight for compliance, supervision, scope of practice, patient safety, and escalation pathways.
Support documentation standards for Medicare care-management and monitoring programs (RPM, CCM, PIN, CHI, BHI) and E/M visits.
Own clinical quality, patient-outcome, and payer-evaluation goals.
Partner with the AI and product teams to make our models clinically useful, actionable, and trustworthy at the point of care.
Help define the clinical signals, endpoints, and physiological patterns our models learn to recognize.
Shape new standards of care around early detection - acting on physiological drift before it becomes an emergency - and the workflows that turn signal into action.
Analyze clinical and model-performance data; help design validation studies and author the work that builds the evidence base.
Serve as a strategic clinical partner to leadership on growth, payer strategy, value-based care, and long-term platform design.
