Forward Deployed Product Lead
Location: SF or NYC preferred (occasional travel to client sites)
About Bunkerhill
Bunkerhill partners with leading health systems to design and deploy AI-enhanced clinical workflows that are used in real clinical operations. We work directly with clinicians, operations leaders, and IT teams to turn messy clinical reality into scalable, high-impact AI workflows.
We are hiring our first Forward Deployed Product Leads to work directly with health systems and own the successful deployment of AI-enabled care delivery. You will be one of the first people in this role and will help define how AI workflows are designed, deployed, and scaled across Bunkerhill’s customer base.
About the Role
The Forward Deployed Product Lead owns the end-to-end success of AI deployments across a portfolio of health systems—from discovery through go-live and ongoing optimization.
This is a hands-on role. You will personally design, configure, and deploy AI workflows and agents inside Bunkerhill’s platform—not just define requirements for others to build.
Role mix (approx.):
25% pre-sales: discovery, solution design, demos, pilot scoping
75% post-sales: implementation, workflow build-out, training, iteration, and optimization
What You’ll Do
AI Agent & Prompt Development
Design, test, and refine AI agents and prompt logic within the platform using modern LLM tools.
Formalize clinical reasoning and workflow logic into structured, reliable, and audit-friendly agent designs.
Evaluate outputs against clinical and operational expectations; debug edge cases and failure modes.
Develop reusable workflow patterns and agent templates that can be deployed across customers.
Workflow & Product Design
Map current-state clinical workflows and design future-state workflows that incorporate AI agents and automation.
Assemble end-to-end solutions using Bunkerhill’s platform (data inputs → AI agents → work queues → clinician UI → reporting).
Identify product gaps encountered in the field and write concise product briefs to unlock new capabilities, speed deployments, and expand into new specialties.
Partner closely with engineering and product teams to refine, prioritize, and ship improvements.
Customer Engagement & Change Management
Serve as the primary day-to-day partner for health system customers, working with frontline staff (schedulers, nurses, coordinators), managers, and executive leaders.
Run structured discovery to understand current workflows, pain points, clinical constraints, and operational goals.
Translate ambiguous problems into clearly scoped deployments with defined success criteria.
Drive change management: timelines, stakeholder alignment, training sessions, rollout plans, and adoption tracking.
Build trust through clear, respectful communication at every level of the organization.
Who You Are
You have a strong sense of ownership and are comfortable being accountable for real-world outcomes.
You have a solid clinical foundation and can quickly learn new clinical domains and workflows.
You are comfortable working directly with both frontline clinical staff and senior executives.
You think like a product builder: you see patterns across customers, write clearly, and focus on scalable solutions rather than one-off custom work.
You are excited about LLMs as practical tools for building durable workflows, not just demos.
You are structured and analytical, but pragmatic and scrappy in imperfect environments.
A traditional software engineering background is not required; experience building within platforms, configuring complex systems, or deploying operational workflows is a strong fit.
Why Bunkerhill
Real impact at leading health systems. Our Carebricks platform is live at UTMB Health, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and dozens of other hospitals across the U.S., powering workflows like incidental findings follow-up, prior authorization, referral routing, and more.
Award-winning AI implementation. Bunkerhill was recently named “Best in AI Implementation” in Inc.’s 2025 Best in Business Awards for the way Carebricks lets clinical and operational teams build and deploy AI agents that actually run in day-to-day workflows. Business Wire

Recognized as one of AI’s “killer apps.” Sequoia highlighted Bunkerhill as part of the rising cohort of “AI’s Killer Apps” in its AI Ascent keynote, alongside companies like LangChain and OpenEvidence. LinkedIn
Regulatory and clinical credibility, not just demos. Our platform incorporates multiple FDA-cleared algorithms, including models for cardiovascular findings such as aortic valve and mitral annular calcification, now deployed as part of Carebricks in real clinical workflows.
You’re joining at an inflection point: revenue has leapt from early pilot scale to multi-million-dollar ARR in the last year, as health systems standardize critical workflows on Bunkerhill
A chance to help define the category. Bunkerhill’s mission is to close the gap between the potential of AI in healthcare and its reality in clinical practice. As one of the first Forward Deployed Product Leads, you’ll help define how health systems design, ship, and scale AI-enhanced workflows—not just at one hospital, but across a growing network of top institutions.
