Job description

Join to apply for the Clinical Director role at Heidi

Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that supports clinicians every step of the way, from documentation to delivery of care.

We exist to double healthcare’s capacity while keeping care deeply human. In 18 months, Heidi has returned more than 18 million hours to clinicians and supported over 73 million patient visits. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi across 116 countries and over 110 languages.

Founded by clinicians, Heidi brings together clinicians, engineers, designers, scientists, creatives, and mathematicians, working with a shared purpose: to strengthen the human connection at the heart of healthcare.

Backed by nearly $100 million in total funding, Heidi is expanding across ANZ, the USA, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with major health systems.

We move quickly where it matters and stay grounded in what’s proven, shaping healthcare’s next era. Ready for the challenge?

About the Role

Heidi is expanding across France and is hiring a Clinical Director to lead high‑stakes engagement with ministries, health authorities, major hospital groups, academic institutions, and strategic partners.

This position is suited to one of two profiles:

• A senior clinician or CMO‑level leader with the commercial acumen, gravitas, and strategic capability to support system‑wide transformation; or
• An experienced healthcare executive with deep networks, strong enterprise relationships, and a demonstrated ability to navigate complex procurement pathways and multi‑stakeholder environments.

The Clinical Director is a senior, externally facing role with full accountability for accessing enterprise deals, partnership development, and commercial outcomes. You will shape Heidi’s strategic approach, secure lighthouse health‑system relationships, guide pilots through evaluation to scale, and provide executive sponsorship to local operators across the region.

You will operate with substantial autonomy and the full support of Heidi’s global leadership team.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Market Leadership

• Shape Heidi’s regional strategy and market‑entry approach in partnership with global leadership.
• Identify system‑level opportunities, care‑model transformation initiatives, and high‑value partnerships.

Government, Health System & Enterprise Engagement

• Build and maintain executive‑level relationships across ministries, regulators, health authorities, hospital networks, and clinical leadership.
• Convert strategic discussions into pilots, structured programmes, and long‑term adoption pathways.

Clinical & Commercial Credibility

• Represent Heidi’s clinical, operational, and AI capabilities in senior forums.
• Guide the design of use cases, evaluation metrics, governance structures, and clinical integration models.

Anchor Partnerships & Lighthouse Deals

• Secure high‑impact hospital and health system partnerships that establish credibility and unlock scale.
• Negotiate partnership frameworks that balance local context with Heidi’s commercial and operational model.

Executive Sponsorship & Team Enablement

• Provide senior coverage alongside local operators in key meetings, evaluations, negotiations, and governance reviews.
• Mentor regional sales, partnerships, and implementation teams without displacing them.
• Surface insights on health system structure, procurement processes, clinical governance requirements, and AI policy shifts.
• Advise global leadership on regional risks, opportunities, and strategic inflection points.

About You

You are an accomplished healthcare leader who can operate credibly at the highest levels - whether your path was clinical, operational, or commercial.

You may be a fit if you are:

• A senior clinician, medical director or CMO‑type; or
• A seasoned healthcare executive with deep enterprise experience and networks.

What you'll bring to the role

• 10+ years of leadership experience in hospitals, health systems, digital health, medtech, healthtech, or government‑facing healthcare roles.
• Strong enterprise and system‑level networks across hospitals, ministries, clinical leadership, and/or channel partners.
• Proven ability to translate clinical or operational insights into commercial and strategic outcomes.
• High credibility in executive, clinical, and government settings; comfortable navigating long‑cycle engagements.
• A “builder” mindset – able to craft regional strategy, shape lighthouse opportunities, and help local teams execute.
• Thoughtful communicator with cross‑cultural fluency: English and French essential.

What do we believe in?

• Live Forever – Every release moves care forward: measured, safe, and built to last. Data guides us, but patients define the truth that matters.
• Practice Ownership – Decisions follow logic and proof, not hierarchy. Exceptional care demands exceptional standards in our work, our thinking, and our character.
• Small Cuts Heal Faster – Stability earns trust, speed delivers impact. Progress is about learning fast without breaking what people depend on.
• Make others better – Feedback is direct, kindness is constant, and excellence lifts everyone. Our success is measured by collective growth, not individual output.

Why you should Join Heidi

• Real product momentum. We’re not trying to generate interest, we’re channeling it. This is a rare chance to create a global impact as you immerse yourself in the fastest growing HealthTech AI company.
• Equity from day one. When Heidi wins, you win. You’ll share directly in the success you help create.
• Unmatched impact. Play a pivotal role at a critical growth moment – all while working on a product that delivers tangible value to clinicians and patients every day.
• Work alongside world‑class talent. Join a team of operators and builders who’ve scaled unicorns.
• Global reach. Help shape our international expansion as we bring Heidi to key international markets.
• Growth and balance. Enjoy a €500 personal development budget, dedicated wellness days, subsidised gym membership, and your birthday off to recharge.
