Health AI Program Supervisor

Job Summary

The Health AI Program Supervisor is responsible for the strategic oversight, governance, and operational execution of AI initiatives within UCSF Health. Reporting directly to the Chief Health AI Officer, this role ensures that high-value AI technologies are safely, effectively, and equitably integrated into clinical and operational workflows while supervising staff who support these initiatives.

This position is classified as Flexible for onsite work activities. While most work will be remote, the role will require occasional onsite presence for strategy workshops, major go-lives, critical vendor meetings, and other Health IT or University events (approximately 4-8 times per year, or as needed). Travel expenses are the responsibility of the incumbent if not based in the Bay Area.

This position will devote approximately 50% of their time to direct supervision of Health AI staff. This includes participating in hiring decisions; setting and reviewing performance goals; staff development; and fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture within the Health AI program.

The remaining portion of the role focuses on program leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and oversight of key AI workstreams-such as those improving provider experience, patient outcomes, revenue integrity, operational efficiency, and overall AI trustworthiness. The Health AI Program Supervisor leads strategic prioritization, manages the Health AI Steering Committee, and ensures that AI initiatives align with UCSF Health's strategic priorities, regulatory obligations, and enterprise governance processes.

This position requires strong leadership, technical acumen, and healthcare experience to bridge the gap between AI innovation, clinical informatics, IT infrastructure, and health system operations. The incumbent provides interim program management support for emerging AI initiatives until dedicated resources are established and coordinates with the Transformation Management Office to embed AI projects into broader institutional strategies. The Supervisor ensures that all AI deployments are sustainable, scalable, and deliver measurable value to UCSF Health.

The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.

Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of factors including your work experience and internal equity within this position classification at UCSF.
