Transform healthcare with us.

At Qualified Health, we're redefining what's possible with Generative AI in healthcare. Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare-specific agent creation, and real-time algorithm monitoring working alongside leading health systems to drive real change.

Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.

Job Summary

The Clinical AI Specialist, RN is a new kind of nursing role, one that sits at the intersection of clinical expertise, artificial intelligence, and health system transformation. You will become the foremost expert on Qualified Health's AI-powered clinical tools, using them to help leading health systems identify and close gaps in patient care that would otherwise go unaddressed.

In this role, you'll be credentialed and embedded at partner health systems, working directly alongside their clinical teams while representing Qualified Health. You'll use AI-driven insights to ensure patients get the care they need across cardiology, vascular, preventive screening, and beyond. You'll also serve as a critical bridge between our product team and the clinical frontlines: shaping how our tools evolve, training nurses and staff at partner sites, and helping build the playbook for how AI-powered clinical operations actually work in practice.

This is not a traditional nursing job, and it's not a desk job. It's a high-autonomy, high-impact role where your clinical judgment, people skills, and comfort with technology will directly determine how many patients receive better care. This role reports to Clinical Operations Leadership. 

The ideal candidate is a resourceful, tech-forward nurse who builds strong relationships effortlessly and is energized by doing something that hasn't been done before. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help define a new role in healthcare and grow into leading a team as we scale.

Platform & Product Development

  • Serve as a power user of the Care Gap Optimizer platform, developing deep expertise in its capabilities and providing continuous feedback to the product team
  • Identify workflow inefficiencies, edge cases, and opportunities for improvement based on daily hands-on use
  • Contribute to the development of new Care Gap Optimizers as the platform expands into additional specialties
  • Help shape automation tools (voice agents, SMS outreach, auto-ordering) by informing which aspects of your workflows would most benefit from automation

Strategic Growth

  • Help establish and refine the co-badge nurse operating model, documenting best practices and standard operating procedures

  • Regular user of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) with curiosity about how AI can improve healthcare delivery
  • Previous experience at a health tech company, healthcare startup, or in a consulting-adjacent clinical role


Skills & Attributes

  • Relationship Builder: Naturally sociable and likable. The kind of person who walks into a new health system and quickly earns the trust of nurses, physicians, and staff at every level.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
