Abridge Product Lead at Abridge responsible for defining product strategy for foundational models and post-training in healthcare AI. Partner with ML Science to translate research into scalable model capabilities impacting clinical workflows.
Responsibilities
Abridge was founded to power deeper understanding in healthcare. Our ambient AI platform transforms clinical conversations into high-quality documentation and is expanding into clinical workflows such as coding, clinical decision support, and care navigation. The quality of these products depends on the models beneath them - and on our ability to improve those models using signals that only Abridge can access at scale.
We are hiring a Product Lead to partner with ML Science on Abridge's foundation-model and post-training work. You will help turn our proprietary corpus of clinical conversations, clinician edits, EHR context, and downstream actions into durable model capabilities. You will own the product strategy that connects research bets to product outcomes: where an in-house model can create meaningful advantage, which capabilities and workloads to prioritize, what evidence is required to scale an approach, and how a successful model moves from experiment to production.
This is not a traditional feature-PM role, and it is not a research-program-manager role. You will operate at the intersection of model science, platform strategy, and clinical product delivery. You will need enough technical depth to challenge assumptions and make consequential tradeoffs with scientists and engineers, while keeping the work anchored in clinician value, patient safety, and business impact.
You must be located in San Francisco for this opportunity or willing to relocate to San Francisco.
Set the product strategy for Abridge's model family. Translate company and product priorities into a coherent portfolio of models, with explicit choices across capability, quality, latency, cost, safety, and controllability.
Own the path from research to product impact. Define the hypotheses, milestones, decision gates, and success metrics that move models from experiments into shadow mode and production.
Turn proprietary data into a product advantage. Shape how Abridge uses de-identified conversations, final notes, clinician edits, EHR context, and care actions as training and feedback signals, in partnership with Data, Privacy, Security, and Clinical teams.
Make model investment decisions legible. Build clear frameworks for when to use a frontier model, an open model, a prompted workflow, or an Abridge-trained model; quantify expected quality, serving-cost, latency, control, and strategic benefits.
Partner with Evals on promotion criteria. Define the product-relevant capabilities and failure modes that matter for each model use case, while the Evals team owns shared measurement infrastructure and neutral evaluation standards.
Create a tight learning loop with product teams. Convert production failures, clinician feedback, edit behavior, and emerging product needs into training priorities; make model improvements visible in user and business outcomes.
Drive cross-functional execution. Align ML Science, ML Engineering, Product Engineering, Clinical Science, Data, Evals, and product pods around priorities, interfaces, ownership, and delivery - often without formal authority.
Communicate the strategy. Make complex research choices understandable to executives and product teams, clearly separating demonstrated results, working hypotheses, and long-term bets.
