Background

Theator is a team dedicated to the alleviation of variability and disparity in the world of surgery. We do so by leveraging cutting-edge deep tech to understand what surgical best practices look like in the real world. Computer vision allows us to structure unstructured surgical footage. A variety of other AI tools help us understand context, then identify best practices to guide humans and robots and provide billions worldwide with access to safe and affordable surgical care.

As a Clinical Product Manager, you will serve as the bridge between the clinical and product worlds.

• Drive initiatives around operative report automation, coding, and surgical event mapping.
• Be actively involved in AI research initiatives in surgery, working closely with the clinical research team and collaborating with leading hospitals worldwide.
• Support go-to-market efforts with clinically grounded product positioning.

Your background and skills should include:

• MD degree with a strong understanding of surgical workflows (gynecology, general surgery, and/or urology preferred).
• Experience in healthtech/medtech.
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to structure complex medical workflows.
• Excellent communication skills – able to align and influence both clinical stakeholders and technical teams.
• Passion for improving healthcare and patient outcomes through technology.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to learn quickly and “get things done” attitude.

You’ll get some major bonus points if you have experience with:
