Sr. Director of Sales (Remote) – Suki AI

Suki is leading the charge in creating a new category in the health tech space – the digital assistant.  We are going to be the voice user interface for healthcare.  What does that mean?  Currently, doctors use their electronic medical record system to track patient encounters (a digital version of the old paper charts you used to see in your doctor’s office and on TV).  These systems can be hard to navigate and very time consuming to manage – time that doctors would rather have to spend with their patients.  This is the problem we’re solving right now!  Doctors that use Suki already spend over 50% less time on administrative tasks and we’re striving to do even better.

We are now also making the technology that is powering Suki Assistant available as a Voice Platform to Healthcare technology companies looking to use Voice and AI to provide a better experience for their users.  Promoting Suki Speech Services expands our portfolio of solutions and gives us a formidable opportunity to increase our reach in healthcare and crush it!

We are building Suki by spending time with our customers to understand features that will truly make their lives better.  We’re a team of technologists, clinicians, and industry experts working together to push the limits on technology used in medicine and even how medicine is practiced.  We’re growing fast and we’re ready to add a talented customer support professional to help us scale our operations.
