Sr. Product Manager

About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll own one of AKASA’s flagship products in our Clinical Documentation and Medical Coding suite.

This product suite improves the quality of physician documentation, helps clinicians identify missing diagnoses, converts documentation to medical codes and ensures financial integrity for health systems. These products help thousands of clinicians and revenue cycle staff tackle some of the most challenging and high-impact patient encounters in U.S. healthcare.

You’ll be in a high-leverage role in a uniquely scaled organization: a small, elite group of PMs partnered with a substantial, world-class engineering and ML team. Together, you’ll work on truly AI-native products that deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in measurable value for our customers.

You’ll collaborate closely across multiple functions - engineering, machine learning, design, finance, and go-to-market, to shape, build, and launch AI-native products.

Your key partners include

• Customer Design Partners - Leaders and frontline staff from some of the most prominent health systems in the world (e.g., Cleveland Clinic), collaborating with us as design partners for rapid testing and deployment. This article describes one of our most recent deployments.
• Engineering & ML - An extraordinary internal team that doesn’t just apply third-party LLM APIs but trains net-new models in-house to achieve breakthrough performance beyond what’s possible off the shelf. Our ML researchers regularly write about their cutting edge work (link 1 link 2).
• Internal Domain SMEs - AKASA team members, who are industry-leading experts in their domain, who you can partner closely with to ensure products are deeply grounded in real-world user needs (link).

This is an opportunity to define how AI truly reshapes healthcare operations, building products that are not only technically exceptional, but meaningfully improve how we capture the complete patient clinical journey.
