Communications Specialist

Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible.

We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.

In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals — supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.

Backed by nearly $100 million in funding, we’re growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health.

We operate in a high-trust, high-stakes space. Our communications must be credible, precise, and useful - not loud for the sake of it. Every word we put into the world shapes how clinicians, partners, regulators, and the public understand AI in healthcare.

We’re looking for a Communications Specialist with a few years of experience under their belt — ideally someone making their first move in-house after cutting their teeth at a PR agency or tech company. This is a hands-on role for someone who’s hungry, highly organised, and excited to take ownership, move fast, and prove themselves at every opportunity.

You’ll work closely with the Global Head of Communications to shape how Heidi shows up in the world — not just through great storytelling, but through sharp execution, strong processes, and calm control of multiple moving parts. This is a brilliant role for someone who thrives on momentum, loves getting stuck in, and wants real responsibility early on.

This is a chance to step into an in-house role where your work will be seen, valued and trusted. You’ll get real ownership, close exposure to decision-makers, and the space to grow quickly if you bring the drive, organisation and follow-through we’re looking for.
