Job description

We're building the future of healthcare with AI.

People Passionate About
Improving Healthcare

My journey into CDI was personal. I have two children with special healthcare needs and their conditions were under documented. No one really wanted to talk about my daughter's brain injury because it wasn't documented. I battled to get her the care and the resources that she needed. The good news is today she's getting her masters and she's going to become a teacher. Had I not battled and pushed and fought and clawed to get her those services, she might not be where she is today.

Our investors

Hear it from our team

When a patient comes into the hospital, we take care of them, no matter what. But patients are getting sicker, and the medical record doesn’t always capture everything it took to care for them. That gap can cost hospitals appropriate reimbursement and understate how sick patients really were. That’s where AKASA comes in. We’re building AI that helps documentation and coding reflect the care delivered, and I bring the clinical context. Our technical team builds first-of-its-kind products for consequential problems in healthcare, and our in-house clinical experts train the models.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll own one of AKASA’s flagship products in our Clinical Documentation and Medical Coding suite.

This product suite improves the quality of physician documentation, helps clinicians identify missing diagnoses, converts documentation to medical codes and ensures financial integrity for health systems. These products help thousands of clinicians and revenue cycle staff tackle some of the most challenging and high-impact patient encounters in U.S. healthcare.

You’ll be in a high-leverage role in a uniquely scaled organization: a small, elite group of PMs partnered with a substantial, world-class engineering and ML team. Together, you’ll work on truly AI-native products that deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in measurable value for our customers.

You’ll collaborate closely across multiple functions - engineering, machine learning, design, finance, and go-to-market, to shape, build, and launch AI-native products.

Your key partners include:

Internal Domain SMEs – AKASA team members, who are industry-leading experts in their domain, who you can partner closely with to ensure products are deeply grounded in real-world user needs ( link ).

This is an opportunity to define how AI truly reshapes healthcare operations, building products that are not only technically exceptional, but meaningfully improve how we capture the complete patient clinical journey.
