Position Overview:

The Director, AI Product Strategy & Rapid Innovation is a hands-on AI product builder responsible for rapidly transforming ideas into working AI capabilities. Embedded within the CDIO Executive Office, this leader uses AI-assisted software development to design, prototype, build, and launch new enterprise AI products that accelerate the company's digital transformation.

This is not a traditional strategy or product management role. We are looking for technical innovators who build. Using modern AI development tools, coding assistants, agentic frameworks, and rapid prototyping techniques, this leader will dramatically compress the time from concept to production.

The ideal candidate is an experienced software engineer, AI developer, startup builder, or technical product innovator who thrives in ambiguity, embraces experimentation, and is excited about creating entirely new capabilities that challenge conventional approaches. Healthcare experience is not required; exceptional AI engineering and product-building capability is.

Build AI Products

• Personally design, prototype, and develop new AI-powered products using AI-assisted software development.

• Build working prototypes in days or weeks-not months.

• Turn executive ideas into production-ready solutions.

• Create internal AI applications that transform how employees work.

• Develop reusable AI components that accelerate future development.

Rapid Innovation

• Continuously experiment with emerging AI technologies.
