Job Description

The company

For the first time, robots are working as efficient nursing
assistants in real healthcare facilities, every day. Norbert
Health, founded by AI pioneers, made this possible by
adding a proprietary physical AI and medical-grade module on wheeled
robots — see video
Norbert-enabled robots capture vitals contactlessly, measure patient
mobility and activity, and converse with patients in multiple
languages. This multi-modal patient data is fed into AI models to
generate clinical decision support reports that help physicians make
the right clinical decisions (more info there).

We are currently deployed across several hundred beds in skilled
nursing and rehabilitation facilities in the US, and are rapidly
growing our footprint. Our compliance rate is north of
80% and we surface clinically impactful measures in 24% of our
autonomous visits and 40% of our monthly reports. In other words, the
system works and is impactful.

We signed two large deals that represent $12m contracted ARR. We are
the only company operating robots with a clinical impact in
facilities, every single day. Several large and well funded robotics
companies have expressed interest in partnering with us. 2026 is the
year robots will rapidly enter the world and healthcare. These will
be Norbert-powered robots — see post here

The position

This is a fractional CMO role (0.5 to 2 days per week) for a
physician who wants to shape the clinical direction of a
groundbreaking AI and robotics health tech company.

You’ll be the primary medical voice at Norbert Health — guiding
how our system is validated, how it evolves, and how it’s
communicated to the clinical community.

This role is ideal for a practicing physician, department chair, or
former clinical executive who is energized by innovation and wants
meaningful involvement in a high-impact startup without leaving
clinical or academic life behind.

What you’ll
do

• Clinical impact definition: work with our research and
  product teams to define, measure, and communicate the clinical
  outcomes and value our system delivers — building the evidence
  base that supports adoption
• Clinical validation & certification: oversee and guide
  clinical certification processes, ensuring our robotic care
  assistant meets the highest standards for safety and regulatory
  compliance; partner with the team on usability testing with clinical
  end-users
• Physician-centric product development: bring the physician
  perspective into our roadmap, help identify unmet clinical needs,
  evaluate proposed features, and ensure what we build genuinely
  improves workflows for the providers who use it
• Medical affairs & thought leadership: represent Norbert
  Health at medical conferences and industry events, present clinical
  findings, build relationships with key opinion leaders, and help
  position our technology within the broader clinical community
• Clinical advisory: serve as a senior clinical resource
  internally, advising on medical accuracy, clinical protocols, and
  any issues that arise at the intersection of medicine and technology

Who you are

• 
  Active MD with strong clinical background in hospital medicine,
  primary care, remote care, geriatric care or other relevant
  specialty
• 
  Experienced with health technology, digital health, or medical
  devices, either as a clinician-innovator, advisor, or former
  operator
• 
  Comfortable engaging in both technical product conversations and
  external-facing clinical communications
• 
  A credible voice in the medical community, with existing
  relationships or the ability to build them quickly
• 
  Based in New York City, or able to travel to NYC on a regular and
  consistent basis

What we offer

• 
  Meaningful equity stake (stock options) in a company building
  genuinely novel technology
• 
  Flexible fractional engagement — structured to work alongside an
  active clinical or academic role
• 
  A front-row seat to shaping how AI and robotics transform care
  delivery
• 
  Close collaboration with a small, ambitious founding team that
  values clinical rigor
• 
  Travel support for conference representation and NYC visits as
  applicable
