What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Communications Manager to join our Marketing team and lead Abridge’s external communications strategy, in collaboration with the VP of Marketing and the executive team
- You will be a key member of the Marketing leadership team
- This role will focus on brand storytelling, media relations, and thought leadership to elevate Abridge’s presence in healthcare, AI, and policy
- You’ll work cross-functionally to craft compelling narratives, engage key stakeholders, and position Abridge as a leader in the space
- Drive a communications strategy to boost brand visibility and credibility
- Cultivate strong media, analyst, and influencer relationships
- Partner with our PR agency to land top-tier coverage and manage media opportunities

- Align event messaging and promotion with broader brand goals
- We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset
- We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields
- Whether it’s holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models, debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, or writing responses for Medicare rules to influence U.S. health policy, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
