Vice President, AI Research

Who we are

FL113 is a fast-moving AI diagnostics company with a bold ambition: to define the future of pre-emptive and proactive care. We are building products that help uncover disease before it becomes visible, equip patients and care teams with earlier insight, and enable meaningful intervention before disease advances and causes irreversible harm. Our team brings together ML researchers, serial entrepreneurs, and clinical experts, united by a common commitment to make proactive care a reality.

FL113 is part of the Flagship Pioneering ecosystem, a premier venture-creation platform recognized twice on FORTUNE’s “Change the World” list and twice on Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. Flagship creates companies at the frontier of science and technology, bringing together founders, operators, and investors to take bold leaps on consequential problems and turn breakthrough ideas into enduring businesses.

Join an exceptional team and help shape the future of AI and healthcare.

The Vice President of AI Research and Real-World Evidence owns FL113’s scientific agenda, model methodology and performance, clinical validation, and evidence generation. You will determine which scientific questions to pursue, how to assess model performance and clinical utility, and what evidence is required to support product readiness, customer adoption, and regulatory strategy.

You will work closely with peer leaders across Engineering, Product, and GTM, as well as customers, health-system partners, and the broader Flagship ecosystem, to shape product development and delivery. You will retain accountability for scientific rigor, model performance, and real-world evidence. Research defines scientific requirements and acceptance criteria;
Engineering owns production architecture, implementation, deployment, and operations. Together, we will use evidence from models, pilots, and customers to refine product-market fit and build products that earn trust in the real world.

• Own and continuously evolve a multi-year research roadmap spanning predictive modeling, causal inference, and longitudinal analysis, informed by scientific, clinical, product, and market evidence.
• Translate the research roadmap into practical milestones, decision gates, and resource requirements.
• Exercise pragmatic scientific and product judgment, connecting model performance to clinical value, customer ROI, and development time.
• Define and uphold fit-for-purpose standards for data quality, model validation, study design, reproducibility, and responsible use of AI.
• Apply AI-enabled tools and agentic workflows to accelerate research, experimentation, analysis, and team productivity.

• Define the scope and design of research programs, including indication selection, data strategy, modeling approach, endpoints, and validation criteria.
• Oversee model development and validation across structured and unstructured health data, including causal inference, deep learning, survival analysis, and longitudinal modeling.
• Own model methodology, evaluation plans, research code and prototypes, and the evidence required to establish performance and clinical utility.
• Review model results and limitations, mentor research scientists, and uphold scientific quality across the team.
• Define research dataset requirements, analytical schemas, feature definitions, and data-quality criteria in partnership with Engineering.

• Define scientific acceptance criteria and productization requirements with Product and Engineering.
• Develop model-readiness and validation plans that specify what must be demonstrated before a model moves into production or…
