Director of Pharmacovigilance & Safety

About Us

Hippocratic AI is the leading generative AI company in healthcare. We have the only system that can have safe, autonomous, clinical conversations with patients. We have trained our own LLMs as part of our Polaris constellation, resulting in a system with over 99.9% accuracy.

Hippocratic AI is rapidly expanding across the pharma and medtech industries. We are building a new class of agentic AI that supports patients and healthcare stakeholders across the entire life sciences value chain including patient services, clinical trials, access, adherence, and HCP-facing workflows. We are contracted with 5 of the top 20 pharma globally and are in a hyper growth phase for our Life Sciences vertical.

Why Join Our Team

Reinvent healthcare with AI that puts safety first. We're building the world's first healthcare‑only, safety‑focused LLM - a breakthrough platform designed to transform patient outcomes at a global scale. This is category creation.

Work with the people shaping the future. Hippocratic AI was co‑founded by CEO Munjal Shah and a team of physicians, hospital leaders, AI pioneers, and researchers from institutions like El Camino Health, Johns Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.

Backed by the world's leading Life Science and AI investors. We recently raised a $126M Series C at a $3.5B valuation, led by Avenir Growth, bringing total funding to $404M with participation from Capital

G, General Catalyst, a16z, Kleiner Perkins, Premji Invest, UHS, Cincinnati Children's, Well Span Health, John Doerr, Rick Klausner, and others.

We are seeking a Head of Pharmacovigilance and Safety to build and lead the safety infrastructure that enables Hippocratic AI to operate credibly and compliantly across every patient interaction our platform touches. This leader will own the pharmacovigilance systems, adverse event processes, safety governance, and signal detection capabilities that give our pharma and medtech partners confidence that when our AI agents speak to patients, safety is never compromised.

This is one of the most creatively challenging safety roles in healthcare today. You are not inheriting a mature PV operation and maintaining it - you are designing how pharmacovigilance works when the front line is an AI agent, not a human call center representative. Every assumption about how adverse events are captured, triaged, documented, and reported needs to be rethought for a world where AI agents conduct millions of patient interactions across dozens of therapeutic areas simultaneously.

You will invent the frameworks, define the standards, and build the systems that become the industry blueprint for AI-enabled pharmacovigilance.

Build alongside the best in healthcare and AI. Join experts who've spent their careers improving care, advancing science, and building world‑changing technologies - ensuring our platform is powerful, trusted, and truly transformative.

Location Requirement

We believe the best ideas happen together. To support fast collaboration and a strong team culture, this role is expected to be in our Palo Alto office five days a week, unless otherwise specified.
