Build AI-powered prototypes, use AI-assisted development tools, identify high-value opportunities with business units, lead AI enablement workshops, document effective practices, and contribute to the organization’s AI maturity framework and tooling. The role partners closely with technical and business stakeholders across healthcare software companies and requires up to 25% travel.
Harris Healthcare is building AI into the foundation of how our portfolio operates across 25+ healthcare software businesses. The AI Innovation Specialist will work directly with our VP of AI Innovation to make that happen — through prototyping, enablement, and hands-on partnership with our business units.
This is a role for someone who's already building with AI and wants to do it at real scale inside a complex organization.
The AI Innovation Specialist is eligible for anyone who can work remote within the U.S.
What You'll Do
- Build AI-powered prototypes that solve real problems across our business units, often moving from concept to working demo in a matter of days
- Use AI-assisted development tools to ship software faster and show engineering and product teams what's within reach
- Work with business unit leaders to find high-value AI opportunities and turn them into concrete projects
- Lead and co-facilitate workshops and working sessions that build AI fluency across the organization
- Document what works, share findings, and help teams develop repeatable AI practices
- Contribute to the development of Harris's AI maturity framework and related tooling
What We're Looking For
- 3 to 5 years of experience in a technical, product, or innovation-adjacent role
- 1-3 years of hands-on experience building using AI tools. You've shipped something using Claude, GPT, Cursor, or similar, and you can show your work
- Comfortable communicating technical ideas to non-technical audiences
- Genuinely curious. You dig into problems, ask good questions, and get as much out of teaching others as you do from learning something new
- You follow through. When you take something on, it gets done, and people know they can count on you for it
- Positive by default. You bring energy to ambiguous situations and make the people around you better
- Healthcare or enterprise software background is a plus, not a requirement
Travel:
- This role requires travel to Harris business units and partner sites, up to 25% of the time.
- Travel commitments are expected throughout the year, with monthly travel frequency varying based on project and business requirements.
What we offer:
- Plenty of opportunities to grow your career
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
- 3 weeks of vacation plus 5 personal days to recharge
- Employee stock ownership, RRSP program, 401k + matching
- A chance to give back through community involvement
- Flexible work arrangements to suit your lifestyle
Salary Range:
- $80 - 110K
