Strategic Partnerships Technical Director

Abridge · Vertical AI · United States · Remote · Commercial

This role is for a Technical Strategic Partnership Director at Abridge, a healthcare AI company. The role focuses on defining and executing EHR integration strategies to ensure Abridge's AI-powered platform integrates seamlessly with systems like Epic. The individual will act as a central expert, evaluating EHR APIs, guiding workflow design, and ensuring cross-functional alignment to accelerate time-to-market and improve user experience. While the company is AI-focused, this role is primarily product and partnership-oriented, not directly building AI models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Partner with Product Managers to define and evolve Abridge’s cross-product integration strategy in Epic and other EHRs.
  2. Guide the design of end-to-end workflows into and out of EHR systems, ensuring integrations are intuitive and complete for our clinicians users. Partner with product and clients to develop best practices and build credibility.
  3. Serve as the escalation point for complex EHR workflow questions and integration-dependent product decisions, outlining recommendations and tradeoffs.
  4. Support PMs and Engineering by evaluating EHR APIs, vendor services, and integration mechanisms, advising on feasibility, constraints, and optimal pathways.
  5. Help teams anticipate integration risks early, reducing rework, iteration cycles, and downstream delivery delays.
