Head of IT
Who we are
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.
The Role
As Head of IT, you’ll build and lead Heidi’s internal IT function globally. You’ll create secure, scalable, and seamless systems that allow our teams to do their best work — wherever they are in the world.
This isn’t a helpdesk-only role. It’s about designing the foundations that keep Heidi secure, connected, and operational as we scale.

Grow the function

Lead and develop a high-performing IT team as Heidi scales globally
You’ll be the calm, steady operator who ensures the company can move fast safely.
