Clinical AI Implementation Lead

Clinically AI is a healthcare technology company transforming how clinicians document care, complete audits, and manage administrative workflows through artificial intelligence. Our platform reduces administrative burden, improves operational efficiency, and helps behavioral health and healthcare organizations focus more on care delivery and less on documentation and compliance overhead. Built with a strong emphasis on clinical usability, regulatory alignment, and workflow integration, we operate in a fast-growing and rapidly evolving AI healthcare market where adoption, trust, and execution matter. We are seeking a Clinical AI Implementation Lead to join our team in a hybrid role, working on-site in our San Diego office Monday through Thursday. In this role, you will own end-to-end implementation, adoption, and workflow enablement for enterprise behavioral health and healthcare customers using the Clinically AI platform. This is not a traditional software implementation role focused only on deployment and go‑live milestones. Success in this position is measured by sustained usage, behavioral adoption, and long‑term workflow integration across clinical, compliance, audit, and operational teams. You will help organizations become AI‑native by guiding clinicians, administrators, and leadership teams through the transition from cautious experimentation to confident daily usage. You will help customers operationalize AI in a way that becomes embedded into daily clinical and administrative workflows. This role combines project management, workflow consulting, AI configuration, stakeholder leadership, and organizational change management. You will serve as the primary strategic and operational partner for customers throughout implementation and adoption, helping them integrate AI into real clinical and administrative workflows in a way that is practical, compliant, and sustainable over time.

You must be comfortable working across executives, therapists, compliance leaders, IT stakeholders, and frontline staff while maintaining clarity, momentum, and trust throughout the customer journey.

Empathy and Change Leadership: You are comfortable guiding clinicians, administrators, and operational teams through uncertainty or skepticism related to AI adoption and new workflows. AI‑Native Thinking: You actively use AI tools in your own work and understand prompting, structured outputs, workflow automation, and practical AI application in operational environments. Clinical Workflow Fluency: You understand healthcare and behavioral health documentation workflows, compliance requirements, and how clinicians and audit teams operate in practice. Communication and Stakeholder Alignment: You are able to communicate effectively with executive sponsors, therapists, compliance teams, IT leaders, and frontline users while adapting your communication style to different audiences. Systems and Operational Thinking: You understand how implementation, training, adoption, support, workflow optimization, and customer success connect into a unified operational system. Thriving in a Fast‑Paced Environment: You operate effectively in a high‑growth startup where priorities evolve quickly and speed of execution matters.
