Senior Product Manager US health systems will spend $100-130 billion on AI between 2025 and 2030, but studies show that 95% of AI initiatives don't deliver measurable impact. Currently, health systems have little to no insight into which AI solutions actually work and bring value, meaning that millions of dollars are wasted on tools that don't make a difference. Signal 1's AI Management System enables health systems to operate 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. Health systems are moving quick from buying to building AI.
That shift changes the problems that an AI management system needs to solve: We have a clear thesis on the problem and the solution, and early validation from health systems who are already excited about what we'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. Our office is based in Toronto and we come together 2-3 days a week to collaborate, innovate, and have fun.
Customer obsession:
Build a deep understanding of customer workflows and pain points and work directly with our design partners to uncover and validate opportunities and solutions. Partner with Engineering and Go-To-Market teams to understand how customers buy and evaluate solutions, and run market and competitive analyses to help sharpen where we play and how we win. Build a real point of view on where agentic AI in healthcare is headed and establish Signal 1 as a category leader through product decisions, thought leadership content, and customer advisory boards discussions. and tie everything back to customer value or a business outcome.
Ship-learn-iterate rapidly: Work closely with Marketing on value messaging and product positioning that translates what we've built into why it matters for different personas like executives, clinicians, and technical stakeholders. 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.
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. 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.
