Clinical Specialist

Overview

At Microsoft AI, our Health team is on a mission to build and serve medical superintelligence at global scale. We're responsible for ensuring that Microsoft AI's models and services are useful, trusted and safe across diverse health journeys. For this role, the Health team at Microsoft AI is looking for a hands-on, product-focused clinician who will sit inside an engineering-heavy cross-functional team, and who is excited about contributing to the next generation of systems that will transform the field.

Across all our hires, it's important for colleagues to share our enthusiasm about the role of technology and AI in health and healthcare, but also appreciate the challenges and risks of delivering effective solutions in a complex and safety critical space. You will need to be highly self-sufficient, and be able to span from high level strategy through to ground-level execution on a wide range of tasks — on this team, no task is beneath anyone. This also means you will play a major role in cultivating and promoting a positive team culture.

Microsoft's wider mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

• Collaborates with and bridges the gap between clinicians, researchers, product, designers, engineering, and partnership teams.
• Contributes to safety, ethics, and privacy policies, and identifies gaps in our tools, technologies and methods to ensure overall rigour.
• Contributes to the clinical direction of our team's efforts, bringing a clinician's judgement to what we build and in what order.
