About the Role
You will lead the delivery of a strategic AI programme, bringing advanced AI capabilities into Versius and CMRs digital ecosystem.
Working at the intersection of data, machine learning, software, hardware and sensing, you will translate technical innovation into validated, commercial products and product features.
You will coordinate multidisciplinary teams and external partners to deliver against a defined roadmap, managing cross functional dependencies, navigating uncertainty and driving alignment. You will also accelerate the deployment of AI enabled solutions from proof of concept through to commercial deployment in a regulated medical device environment.
We will be combining cutting-edge robotics with AI to deliver real-world impact in the operating room. If you want your programme leadership to directly shape the future of robotic surgery, this is a rare opportunity to do so at scale.
This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with a minimum of 3 days a week being based in the office.
Responsibilities
- Own the planning and delivery of a strategic AI programme, from concept through to product re-lease and beyond.
-
Define programme objectives, milestones, success criteria and delivery plans, and track performance against technical and business goals.
-
Coordinate activities across cross functional teams and external partners.
-
Identify key capabilities and resource requirements for the programme and work with line managers to fill these capabilities.
-
Coordinate compute and infrastructure planning, including high-performance compute sourcing and supplier dependencies.
-
Coordinate delivery across the full AI lifecycle: data acquisition and governance, annotation and ground-truth generation, synthetic data, model development and evaluation, verification and vali-dation, and deployment and monitoring.
-
Identify, manage and mitigate technical, operational and delivery risks, and drive decision-making and issue resolution across stakeholders.
-
Support technical trade-off discussions and roadmap prioritisation with stakeholders.
-
Provide clear programme visibility through reporting, reviews and governance forums, building alignment across engineering, product marketing, clinical, regulatory and executive stakeholders.
-
Support external collaborations with academic partners, suppliers and technology vendors.
-
Establish and improve programme management processes and governance appropriate for AI-enabled medical device development.
