What we’re about
At Harrison.ai, we’re redefining what’s possible in healthcare. Through our diagnostic AI solutions, we’re building tools that support clinicians to deliver earlier, more accurate diagnoses and raise the standard of care for millions of patients worldwide.
Our mission is bold but simple: to scale global healthcare capacity and create a fairer, healthier world. By using AI as a co-pilot for clinicians, we’re tackling one of healthcare’s biggest challenges, the shortage of human expertise, and giving every patient the chance to access timely, high-quality care, no matter where they live.
Because while we’re building cutting-edge AI, what we’re really building is hope—that everyone can access the healthcare they deserve.
And we’re just getting started.
About Your Role
The Director, Medical Affairs and Policy leads the integrated strategy and execution of post‑market clinical evidence generation, medical affairs, and government affairs for Harrison.ai’s SaMD and AI‑enabled medical imaging products. The role is accountable for post‑approval clinical evidence strategy, KOL and site engagement, scientific communications, claims and promotional review, grants and sponsorship governance, and health policy and reimbursement advocacy in key global markets.
The Director will partner closely with cross‑functional teams and external stakeholders to ensure that robust clinical evidence, responsible AI practice, and favourable policy environments support product adoption, reimbursement, and long‑term commercial success. Operating within a flat squad structure, the Director is an individual contributor who leads through expertise and cross-functional influence rather than direct management.
What You'll Do:
Medical affairs
- Lead strategic development and delivery of a global post‑market clinical evidence roadmap across the SaMD portfolio, aligned with regulatory, reimbursement, and commercial objectives.
- Oversee design, conduct, reporting, and risk management of post‑approval and real‑world evidence studies, including protocol development, ethics submissions, statistical analysis plans, study reports, and performance evaluation summaries.
- Provide leadership for KOL and site engagement, including identification, onboarding, and ongoing relationship management of clinical partners and investigators.
- Ensure high‑quality dissemination of evidence through peer‑reviewed publications, conference abstracts, scientific presentations, white papers, and other medical education activities.
- Lead or oversee medical review and approval of product claims, promotional and educational materials, and customer‑facing content to ensure clinical accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations and codes.
- Govern and oversee grants, sponsorships, and independent research support in accordance with ethical, compliance, and transparency requirements.
- Act as a senior clinical and scientific resource for internal stakeholders (commercial, product, regulatory, quality, technical, and data science teams), ensuring that clinical insights and customer needs inform product strategy and lifecycle management.
- Champion Good Clinical Practice, Good Machine Learning Practice, and data privacy principles across evidence generation and medical affairs activities.
- Provide strategic leadership across Medical Affairs, ensuring a unified, evidence‑based and compliant external engagement strategy.
- Support Guild needs as required.
