Clinical Ops Lead - UK

About Aptura AI

We work with leading AI labs and companies across healthcare, finance, and legal providing the specialist knowledge and human oversight that makes AI platforms more accurate and reliable in these highly regulated domains.

In healthcare, we work with companies that are looking to train and fine-tune their AI models before being deployed into the real-world. Our expertise is helping companies design and build the evaluation frameworks, to assess the clinical accuracy and performance of these platforms. We specialise in sourcing clinicians (experts) and annotating medical data at scale that is used to train the models such as labelling and reviewing consultation notes, medical images or pathology reports.

The projects we manage tend to sit at the heart of how AI learns to understand real clinical interactions from consultations, workflows, and the delivery of care that directly affects both clinicians and patients. Our strength is end-to-end project management, from sourcing the right clinician all the way through to ensuring the final output meets the clinical standards required. Projects we have been involved in, include SNOMED Medical Coding for Medical Device Registration, AI powered MDT platforms and AI-assisted Clinical Trials Recruitment.

We're a small, in-person team based in London. We move quickly, hold ourselves to a high standard, and expect every individual to contribute directly.

About the role

This is a generalist operational role as well as being the first hire in the healthcare team so naturally comes with a lot of responsibility and growth opportunities.
