About the job

Google Health is a company-wide effort to help people be healthier. We work toward this goal by meeting people in their everyday moments and empowering them to stay healthy. Our teams are applying our experience and technology to improve health outcomes globally with high-quality information and tools to help people manage their health and wellbeing, solutions to transform care delivery, research to catalyze the use of artificial intelligence in health, and data and insights to the public health community.

The centralized Health team provides guidance and support to Google’s product areas for the development of health-related products and services. Experts within the Health team are focused on a range of topics including clinical experience, industry solutioning, regulatory/quality/safety, and employee health and safety. We support products across Google that touch the health and well-being of people on a global scale.

As a clinical specialist, you’ll be an effective and influential contributor to our work, developing intelligent and intuitive tools that help improve health journeys for users. You’ll utilize not only your clinical expertise but also your excellent listening, communication, and leadership skills to appropriately shape the content, design, and execution of products.

You are highly experienced in working cross-functionally, with experience in working with non-clinical teams such as software design, engineering, product management, regulatory affairs and research teams. You will have a demonstrable background working as a healthcare professional in your field with recognized expertise in suicide and other safety-related areas. Ideally, in addition to a clinical background you will have experience evaluating AI products in real-world use cases.
