Why This Role Matters
As a Forward Deployed AI Product Manager at Iterative Health, you will work cross functionally to identify, build, and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how clinical research operations are executed.

You will work across Clinical Operations, Site Operations, Trial Enrollment, Business Development, and Corporate Functions, identifying high-impact opportunities and owning them from concept through deployment and adoption. This role reports to the Product organization and partners closely with Engineering, Data Science, Security, and Operational Leadership teams.
