Role
Who you are

- A strong technical foundation in AI/ML, SaaS, or enterprise software
- Experience in early-stage product incubation, startups, or R&D-driven innovation teams
- Exceptional problem-solving skills - you know how to de-risk and validate ideas rapidly
- A track record of building and leading small, high-impact teams from scratch
- Deep experience with lean product development, rapid prototyping, and scaling innovation
- The ability to context-switch between hands-on execution and high-level strategic thinking
- Prior experience setting up a new office/location is a plus
- If you're passionate about driving innovation and delivering impactful reporting solutions, we'd love to hear from you!
What the job involves
- As the Director of Emerging Products, you will lead the incubation of new projects and product lines at Rad AI. This role blends engineering, product management, and venture-style incubation to explore, validate, and execute on disruptive new ideas while ensuring our core teams remain focused on the primary product portfolio
- This role can be located in San Francisco or Seattle (In-office, 4 days per week) and will report directly to our Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
- Build a high-performance team from scratch and scale it over time
- Establish the incubation function, including how projects are initiated, evaluated, and transitioned
- Define and execute De-risked Minimum Viable Products (DMVPs) to validate technical and market feasibility
- Own the process for transitioning validated projects to core engineering, go-to-market teams, or spinning them out as standalone efforts
- Drive a culture of innovation and responsible risk-taking within the company
- Set up a new in-office location for Rad AI in either San Francisco or Seattle, acting as a hub for emerging product development
- Identify, evaluate, and incubate new product ideas that align with Rad AI’s long-term strategy
- Design and execute fast, cost-effective experiments to assess product viability
- Lead DMVP development, balancing engineering rigor with rapid iteration
- Recruit, hire, and mentor a cross-functional team (engineering, product, and design)
- Establish the evaluation criteria for new projects (technical feasibility, market fit, and strategic alignment)
- Develop a structured process for project initiation, approval, and transition to core teams
- Champion a culture of innovation, autonomy, and calculated risk-taking within Rad AI
- Maintain a strong partnership with core engineering and product teams to ensure new projects complement rather than distract from core execution
- Serve as a key voice in Rad AI’s technical and product strategy, advising the CTO and executive leadership on long-term opportunities
- Establish a new Rad AI office in either San Francisco or Seattle, creating an in-person culture for the emerging products team
- Build and lead a co-located team, emphasizing high collaboration and rapid iteration
Our take
Burnout seems to be reaching unprecedented and unsustainable levels amongst physicians, and radiologists are one of the most heavily impacted groups. A number of surveys have show that around 50% of them suffer from high workloads, which are exacerbated by outdated software and laborious work processes.
Rad AI, which was co-founded by the youngest radiologist in US history, is making serious inroads in alleviating these issues with AI. Its two main products are designed to save time; one by automatically generating impressions from dictated findings, and the other through automating patient follow-ups.
The company has been adding updates to its reporting software and is on a rapid growth trajectory, landing a number of respected radiology practices as customers and claiming industry awards. It has also secured major investment towards sustaining this momentum moving forwards, as more practices turn to AI to positively impact their patient care.
