Job description

About Abridge

Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI‑powered platform was purpose‑built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients. Our enterprise‑grade technology transforms patient‑clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real‑time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose‑built, auditable AI, we map AI‑generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we set industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems. We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care more sense. We have offices located in the Mission District in San Francisco, the SoHo neighborhood of New York, and East Liberty in Pittsburgh.

The Role

Abridge's Core Product Experiences pillar is the foundation of everything we do — the documentation and workflow experiences clinicians interact with every day, and the engine that drives adoption, retention, and expansion across our customer base. Deployed across 250+ health systems, Abridge has powered over 80 million clinical conversations, and that number is accelerating. Clinicians see the potential to accelerate more of their workflows through AI, health system expectations are growing, and the competitive landscape is intensifying. This is an opportunity to drive meaningful impact on clinicians' lives, at scale, across some of the largest health systems in the United States.

We are looking for a Product Manager to own product strategy and execution for a core product area. You'll build the workflows, systems, and AI‑generated artifacts that help clinicians with their daily lives — whether preparing for visits, completing documentation, or reducing administrative burden after the patient leaves. You'll do this across care settings: ambulatory, emergency, and inpatient. This is a role for a builder — someone with strong product taste, deep user empathy, and the drive to ship experiences that clinicians love. You'll spend significant time with physicians and care teams to understand how they actually work, then translate those insights into product decisions that move our most important metrics. You'll work across ML, engineering, design, clinical science, and commercial teams to deliver outcomes features.

What You'll Do

• Own product strategy for a Core Product area. Define the vision, roadmap, and success metrics for your domain — whether that’s note quality, clinical workflows, personalization, or care settings. Prioritize ruthlessly based on user impact, competitive dynamics, and data.
• Go deep with clinicians. Conduct hands‑on user research — shadowing clinicians in exam rooms, watching them interact with notes, understanding the friction they face across specialties and care settings. Turn those insights into product conviction.
• Ship high‑quality clinical workflows. Partner with engineering, design, and ML to build experiences that are intuitive, reliable, and clinically useful. Sweat the details — you care about the difference between a note that’s “fine” and one that makes a clinician trust the product.
• Integrate deeply with EHR environments. Work across Epic and other EHR surfaces to ensure Abridge workflows fit seamlessly into existing clinical routines. Understand the constraints and opportunities of embedded vs. standalone experiences.
• Define metrics and drive outcomes. Establish clear KPIs — adoption, retention, encounter share, quality scores — and use data to evaluate what’s working. Build a culture of measurement and iteration on your team.
• Navigate ambiguity and move fast. Create structure and clarity in areas where the right answer isn’t obvious. Form hypotheses, test them quickly, and update your approach when the data says you’re wrong.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of product management experience shipping products that users love, with a track record of owning product areas end‑to‑end.
• Builder mentality. You’ve personally driven products from discovery through launch and iteration. You care about craft and quality in what you ship.
• Strong user empathy and product taste. You instinctively know the difference between a product that works and one that delights. You’ve built that instinct through direct, repeated exposure to users.
• Healthcare or clinical workflow experience strongly preferred. You understand how clinicians work, how health systems buy, and why healthcare products are hard to get right.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can take a messy problem space and create a clear roadmap without waiting for perfect information.
• Cross‑functional credibility. You can go deep with ML engineers on model tradeoffs, partner with design on interaction details, and present strategy to health system executives. You earn trust through competence and follow‑through.

Bonus Points If…

• You have built ML/AI‑powered products and understand how to design around model capabilities and limitations.
• You have worked with Epic or other EHR platforms and understand what it takes to build great embedded experiences.
• You actively use AI tools in your own work — prototyping, analysis, writing, coding — and have strong intuition for how AI products should behave and where they fall short.
• You have a technical background (engineering, CS, or similar) and are comfortable going deep on system design, data models, and technical tradeoffs with engineering teams.
