Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes. We built a leading performance‑driven network of 100+ sites across the US, Europe, India, and Australia, conducting research directly in the communities where care is delivered across gastrointestinal, hepatology, obesity, and cardiology. We combine deep clinical trial expertise with cutting‑edge AI to connect sponsors’ scientific ambitions with high‑performing research teams that expedite and expand access to novel therapeutics.

As a Forward Deployed AI Product Manager you will work cross‑functionally to identify, build, and deploy AI‑powered solutions that transform how clinical research operations are executed. This is a highly hands‑on role that sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations. You will partner closely with end users to understand their workflows, identify opportunities where AI can create meaningful leverage, rapidly prototype solutions, and deploy them into production.

The ideal candidate combines strong product instincts with technical fluency and a builder mentality. You are equally comfortable sitting alongside a clinical operator to understand a workflow as you are working with engineers and AI tooling to bring a solution to life.
