About Signal 1

US health systems will spend $100130 billion on AI between 2025 and 2030 but studies show that 95% of AI initiatives dont deliver measurable impact. Currently health systems have little to no insight into which AI solutions actually work and bring value meaning that millions of dollars are wasted on tools that dont make a difference.

Signal 1s AI Management System enables health systems to operate scalable and valuable AI programs that can ensure solutions are performing as expected and make data-driven decisions on where to invest. Purpose-built for healthcare and informed by experience managing AI at scale Signal 1 empowers health systems to use AI to its full potential and maximize impact on patient care. We were founded by Tomi Poutanen (former Chief AI Officer at TD Bank co-founder of the Vector Institute and Radical Ventures) and Mara Lederman (previously a professor at University of Torontos Rotman School of Management and lead at Creative Destruction Lab) with early backing from Geoffrey Hinton.

About the role

Health systems are moving fast from buying to building AI. That shift changes the problems that an AI management system needs to solve:

Its no longer enough to monitor a vendors model health systems now need the infrastructure to build safe and effective agents that deliver impact and bring a real return on investment.

We have a clear thesis on the problem and the solution and early validation from health systems who are already excited about what were building. Youll come in and own it from here: pressure-testing the plan against what customers tell you sharpening it where the evidence points somewhere better and making the real calls on what we build and in what order.

This role suits someone who has already taken a product from hypothesis to MVP to a revenue-generating line of business and is ready to own that kind of ambiguity and drive that kind of outcome again.

About the team

Youll work with a team of engineers machine learning scientists and product people who are ambitious and passionate about their craft. We work hard and move fast to shape the way healthcare uses AI for the better. Our office is based in Toronto and we come together 2-3 days a week to collaborate innovate and have fun.

What youll do

• Customer obsession: Build a deep understanding of customer workflows and pain points and work directly with our design partners to uncover and validate opportunities and solutions. Model that empathy in your work and hold the team to that same bar.

• Be an expert in the landscape: Partner with Engineering and Go-To-Market teams to understand how customers buy and evaluate solutions and run market and competitive analyses to help sharpen where we play and how we win.

• Shape the market: Build a real point of view on where agentic AI in healthcare is headed and establish Signal 1 as a category leader through product decisions thought leadership content and customer advisory boards discussions.

• Own and evolve the roadmap:Navigate ambiguity and translate complex problems into clear priorities explicit tradeoffs and a sequenced path forward; rally cross-functional teams around on the why; and tie everything back to customer value or a business outcome.

• Ship-learn-iterate rapidly: Build alongside engineering and design as true partners sharing ownership of the outcome. Be the one who keeps the drumbeat and ensures the team keeps momentum and delivers sprint after sprint.

• Craft the story: Work closely with Marketing on value messaging and product positioning that translates what weve built into why it matters for different personas like executives clinicians and technical stakeholders.

Youll be a great fit if you have:

Experience:

• Proven product management experience in B2B SaaS startups where you have taken a product from an early
  hypothesis to a revenue-generating product area

• Deep understanding of and experience with building agentic AI and AI systems. You dont need to be the smartest technical person in the room but you have a demonstrated history building agents and/or AI-powered platforms/applications and that experience lets you hold real technical conversations and make sound trade-off calls with engineers.

• Experience working on a product sold to US health systems is a nice-to-have

Product management fundamentals:

• High agency and the resourcefulness to get the information you need to make decisions paired with strong product intuition to make good fast calls even when the picture is incomplete

• Clear succinct and precise communication skills. You make sure everyone stays on the same page even when things are moving fast and the topics are genuinely complex translating across technical and non-technical audiences along the way.

• A fast organized AI-native way of working. You move quickly without dropping things and you use AI tools daily to speed up every step of the product development process (user research idea generation prototyping etc) without sacrificing quality.

• A high bar for craft. You push beyond does it work to does it feel right and you carry that standard through every detail.

Whatwell bring

• Competitive compensation (base salary bonus equity) in a high-growth company

• Comprehensive health benefits

• 4 weeks PTO
