CopilotIQ is delivering the first AI-driven platform for the 60 Million older Americans with chronic conditions like diabetes, CHF, and hypertension, with a goal of adding five great years to their lives. CopilotIQ is using connected devices, mobile applications, and a clinician management and automation app to build a longitudinal understanding of patient health to drive artificial intelligence. The system is using predictive analytics with a biomarker feedback loop to build a flywheel for continual improvement. Much like a pilot has a computer and person sitting next to them to ensure they stay safe, we believe every patient deserves to have someone watching over them and ensuring they are healthy

- Collaborate with Clinical, Engineering, and Data teams to ensure products deliver measurable outcomes aligned with value-based care and regulatory expectations
- Maintain strong awareness of healthcare regulatory requirements (e.g., CMS, state Medicaid, data privacy) and guide compliant product design
- Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing remote product, design, and research organization
- Define, track, and optimize KPIs tied to product adoption, clinical outcomes, gross margin, and customer retention
- Evaluate and support strategic partnerships that expand payer reach, distribution, and product capability
- Engage directly with external stakeholders—including payors, employers, partners, analysts, and industry groups—to gather feedback and shape product direction
- Represent CopilotIQ as a product and payer-domain leader at industry events, customer meetings, and strategic forums
