Senior Director, Platform Products

Suki•Redwood City, CA

About The Position

Suki is creating a new category in health technology: the AI-powered digital assistant for healthcare. Our mission is simple but profound—give time back to clinicians so they can focus on what matters most: caring for patients. Today, doctors spend hours navigating complex electronic health record (EHR) systems—modern versions of paper charts that are often unintuitive, fragmented, and time-consuming. Suki changes that. Clinicians using Suki already spend 70% less time on administrative work, and we’re just getting started. Our platform is the foundation of everything we do. As we scale AI-powered capabilities across voice, ambient, and enterprise experiences—and extend them to health system partners, EHR ecosystems, and third-party developers—we need a seasoned platform product leader to define and drive the next generation of our technical platform strategy. As Head of Platform Products, you will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Suki’s core platform—the APIs, services, and integration layers that enable external partners to build on top of our technology. You will lead a team of platform product managers and serve as a strategic partner to Engineering, Commercial, and executive leadership. Your work will determine how Suki’s AI, speech, and clinical intelligence capabilities are architected, scaled, and delivered to the broader healthcare ecosystem. This is a rare opportunity to shape the platform that underpins an AI-first healthcare company—and to set a new standard for how health technology platforms are built and scaled.
