About Signal 1  

US health systems will spend $100–130 billion on AI between 2025 and 2030, but studies show that 95% of AI initiativesdon't deliver measurable impact. Currently, health systems have little to no insight into which AI solutionsactually work and bring value, meaning that millions of dollars are wasted on tools thatdon't make a difference. 

Signal 1's AI Management System enables health systems tooperate scalable and valuable AI programs that can ensure solutions are performing as expected and make data-driven decisions on where to invest. Purpose-built for healthcare and informed by experience managing AI at scale, Signal 1 empowers health systems to use AI to its full potential and maximize impact on patient care. We were founded by Tomi Poutanen (former Chief AI Officer at TD Bank, co-founder of the Vector Institute and Radical Ventures) and Mara Lederman (previously a professor at University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and lead at Creative Destruction Lab), with early backing from Geoffrey Hinton. 

About the role 

Health systems are moving fast from buying to building AI. That shift changes the problems that an AI management system needs tosolve:

It's no longer enough tomonitor a vendor's model, health systems now need the infrastructure tobuild safe and effective agents thatdeliver impact and bring a real return on investment. 

We have a clear thesison the problemand the solution,and early validation from health systems who are already excited about whatwe're building.You'll come in and own it from here:pressure-testing the plan against what customers tell you, sharpening it where the evidence points somewhere better, and making the real calls on what we build and in what order. 

This role suits someone who has already taken a product fromhypothesis to MVP to a revenue-generating line ofbusiness, and is ready to own that kind of ambiguity and drive that kind of outcome again. 

About the team  

You'll work with a team of engineers,machine learning scientists, and productpeople who are ambitious and passionate about their craft. We work hard and move fast to shape the way healthcare uses AI for the better. Our office is based inToronto and we come together 2-3 days a week to collaborate, innovate, and have fun. 

Whatyou'll do 

• Customer obsession: Build a deep understanding of customer workflows and pain points and work directly with our design partners to uncover andvalidate opportunities and solutions. Model that empathy in your work and hold the team to that same bar.

• Be an expert in the landscape:Partner withEngineering and Go-To-Market teams to understand how customers buy and evaluate solutions, and run market and competitive analyses tohelpsharpen where we play and how we win.

• Shape the market: Build a real point of view on where agentic AI in healthcare is headed andestablish Signal 1 as a category leaderthroughproduct decisions,thought leadership content, and customer advisory boards discussions.

• Ownand evolvethe roadmap: Navigateambiguity and translate complex problems into clear priorities, explicittradeoffs, and a sequenced path forward;rally cross-functional teams around on the why; and tieeverything back to customer value or a business outcome.

• Ship-learn-iterate rapidly: Build alongside engineering and design as true partners, sharing ownership of the outcome. Be the one who keeps the drumbeat and ensures the team keeps momentum and delivers sprint after sprint. 

• Craft the story: Work closely with Marketing on value messaging and product positioningthat translates whatwe’ve built into why it matters for different personas like executives, clinicians, and technical stakeholders.  

You'll be a great fit if you have: 

Experience: 

• Proven product management experience in B2B SaaS startups where you havetaken a product from an early
  hypothesis to arevenue-generating product area 

• Deep understanding of and experience with building agentic AI and AI systems. You don't need to be the smartest technical person in the room, but you have a demonstrated history building agents and/or AI-powered platforms/applications, and that experience lets you hold real technical conversations and make sound trade-off calls with engineers. 

• Experienceworking on a product soldtoUS health systems is a nice-to-have 

Product management fundamentals: 

• High agency andtheresourcefulness to get the information you need to make decisions, paired with strong product intuition to make good, fast calls even when the picture is incomplete 

• Clear, succinct, andprecise communication skills. You make sure everyone stays on the same page even when things are moving fast and the topics are genuinely complex, translating across technical and non-technical audiences along the way. 

• A fast, organized, AI-native way of working. You move quickly without dropping things, and you use AI tools daily to speed up every step of the product development process(user research, idea generation, prototyping,etc)without sacrificing quality. 

• Ahigh bar for craft. You push beyond "does it work?" to "does it feel right?" and you carry that standard through every detail.
