POSITION SUMMARY

The Medical Imaging AI Strategist is RSNA's senior-most staff leader for external, radiologist-facing artificial intelligence (AI) strategy. This role is responsible for shaping how RSNA enables safe, effective, and clinically meaningful development and adoption of AI tools across radiology.

The position functions horizontally across all RSNA departments, ensuring that education, publications, informatics, meetings, government relations, and industry engagement collectively advance a coherent, trusted, and radiologist-centered AI value proposition. The Medical Imaging AI Strategist sets strategic direction, establishes priorities, integrates efforts across departments, and represents the needs of the radiology community at the organizational levels. This role does not directly manage all AI programs, which will be operationalized by relevant departments.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define and steward RSNA's strategy to support real-world clinical AI adoption in radiology, aligned with RSNA's mission and Board priorities.

• Advise senior leadership and the Board of Directors on emerging AI trends, risks, opportunities, and strategic tradeoffs affecting radiology practice.

• Ensure RSNA's AI initiatives function as an integrated system.

• Identify gaps, redundancies, and emerging needs in RSNA's AI portfolio and recommend strategic adjustments.

• Ensure guidance reflects the diversity of practice environments, including academic, community, and global settings.

• Ensure technical rigor is paired with clinically intelligible messaging to build trust among radiologists, patients, and external stakeholders.

• Build and maintain strategic relationships with radiology leaders, practice management, informatics experts, academic and clinical researchers, industry partners, and federal agencies.

• Develop and maintain a partnership roadmap that advances RSNA's external AI strategy through high-impact collaborations with academia, health systems, standards bodies, government, and industry.

• Define competency expectations (AI literacy, evaluation, workflow integration, and oversight) and align content to the needs of residents, fellows, practicing radiologists, and practice leaders.

• Partner with RSNA councils, committees, and external educators to curate faculty, develop learning pathways, and keep educational offerings current as technology and regulation evolve.

• Support development of RSNA's radiologist-centered AI policy principles and external positions, coordinating with government relations and volunteer leadership as appropriate.

• Ensure RSNA's practice resources reflect current policy expectations and support consistent, defensible implementation decisions.

SCOPE AND ROLE BOUNDARIES

To maintain focus and strategic clarity, the Medical Imaging AI Strategist will not lead activities related to reimbursement advocacy, cybersecurity certification, post-market surveillance, or legal and liability frameworks.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Recognized expertise in applied or clinical AI within medical imaging.

• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical guidance for professional audiences.

• Experience working across multidisciplinary teams and with external stakeholders and demonstrated collaboration with industry and academic institutions.

• Strong strategic judgment, communication, negotiation, and consensus-building skills.

Preferred

• Experience in professional societies, standards organizations, or large multi-stakeholder initiatives.

• Familiarity with regulatory science, validation frameworks, or clinical AI deployment.

Salary range is $140-$180k with exceptionally good benefits. Salary decisions are ultimately based upon candidate experience and the hiring manager's discretion.
