Director of Technology, New Ventures - Cedars-Sinai Digital Innovation Platform - Redesign Health

About the Role

We’re looking for a technical builder who has done it before and knows what it takes to take an idea from -1 to 0 and turn it into a real product and a real company.

As Director of Technology, you are the technical engine of the Redesign–Cedars-Sinai partnership. Working alongside the VP of Technology, AI Ventures and the New Ventures team, you’ll embed inside Cedars-Sinai’s clinical ecosystem to find the problems worth building companies around, judge whether the technology to solve them actually works, and help diligence and then support exceptional founders to turn validated clinical theses into enduring companies. You bring the product and engineering conviction; Cedars brings the clinical truth and the first customer.

What You’ll Do

Evaluate opportunities and technology with Cedars-Sinai. Work directly with Cedars-Sinai clinicians, researchers, and operational leaders to surface high-conviction problems, then bring rigorous technical judgment to bear: Is this solvable with today’s technology? What’s genuinely hard versus merely unbuilt? Where does AI create a durable edge versus a demo? Separate real technical moats from hype.

Develop and stress-test theses. Translate clinical pain points and institutional white space into original, technically-grounded venture theses — anchored in workflow integration, stakeholder willingness to pay, and what the technology can credibly deliver. Identify the two or three questions that truly matter for each concept and resolve them through primary conversations and hands-on prototyping.

Run technical diligence. Lead the technical evaluation of concepts and the tools, models, data, and vendors they depend on. Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept that de-risk the hardest technical assumptions before a company is funded. Bring concepts to Redesign’s Investment Committee with an honest representation of technical risk and a clear path to Cedars-Sinai as a design partner and first customer.

Support founders and companies. Help exceptional founders make great early technical decisions — architecture, build-vs-buy, data strategy, AI/ML approach, and hiring. Once companies are funded, help them access Cedars-Sinai’s provider network and data platform for piloting, implementation, and research validation. Know when to lean in and when to step back — the founder’s success is the only thing that matters.

Scale your judgment through AI. Continually sublimate your differentiated knowledge and technical evaluations into LLM-enabled systems and workflows, so that landscaping, competitive mapping, and technical research compress from months into weeks — and your time stays reserved for the irreplaceable: taste, judgment, and building.
