DIRECTOR, AI & ML - REMOTE WITHIN 100 MILES OF BOSTON

Role Overview & Scope Care Lumen is building an AI-first healthcare platform serving complex payer workflows across Care Management, Utilization Management, and LTSS. We are seeking a Director of AI & Machine Learning to establish and lead our ML & AI function from the ground up. This is a foundational leadership role responsible for defining our AI strategy, building a high-impact team, and delivering production-grade ML and AI capabilities embedded directly into core payer workflows. This leader will sit at the intersection of Engineering, Product, Clinical Operations, and Data — translating real-world healthcare complexity into safe, scalable AI systems that measurably improve automation, accuracy, and clinical efficiency. This is not a research role. It is a production AI leadership role focused on delivering real, regulated, enterprise-grade systems. The ideal candidate is a builder-operator , not a pure data scientist and not an AI evangelist. Leadership Profile The ideal candidate is: • Strategically minded but execution-oriented • Comfortable with ambiguity and building from zero • Equally credible with engineers and executives • Passionate about responsible AI in high-stakes domains • Motivated by building long-term enterprise value and capability, not short-term experiments • Team-focused • Comfortable in a leadership role • A frequent and effective communicator
