Head of Clinical AI

Own the clinical safety case for AI features inside a regulated care pathway.

Why this role exists

The engineering team can ship models faster than the organisation can defend them. This role exists to close that gap before a regulator does it for them.

What the first twelve months look like

A documented safety case per deployed model, a clinical evaluation process engineering actually uses, and AI features live in a regulated pathway without a governance exception.

What you'll own

  • Own clinical risk management for AI-enabled features under DCB0129
  • Define evaluation standards before deployment, not after
  • Bridge clinical, engineering and governance teams
  • Represent the AI safety position to partners and regulators

What we need to see

  • Clinical background alongside genuine ML literacy
  • Familiarity with clinical safety standards and medical device classification
  • Experience shipping models into regulated environments
