Base Salary + Uncapped 10% Profit Share on the New Business You Build

Aesthetic + Regenerative Medical Group | Full-Time | Onsite | Southern California (Orange County, Palm Desert, Temecula, San Diego)

Pay: $73,000 per year base salary + uncapped 10% profit share on new business you develop

Who We're Looking For

This role is built for a rainmaker who is also an efficiency fanatic. We're a growing, lean-running medical group specializing in aesthetic and regenerative medical services, and we're hiring a charismatic, high-energy, deeply tech-savvy operator who wants to build something — and get paid a meaningful share of the profits they create.

Your bonus is tied to profit, and you'll have real ownership over both sides of that equation. On the revenue side: outbound sales, partnerships, and public speaking. On the cost side: using AI and automation to run our operations leaner than anyone thought possible. Every deal you close and every workflow you automate grows the same number — yours.

You should be the kind of person who is energized by outbound calls, walks into a room of strangers and leaves with three warm leads, and is completely comfortable delivering a talk to a chamber of commerce, a police union meeting, or a corporate HR team — and who then goes home and builds an AI agent to answer patient texts at midnight. If you're looking for a quiet 9-to-5, this is not your job. If you're looking for real ownership, direct access to physician leadership, and a bonus structure where your hustle and ingenuity directly determine your income — keep reading.

A note on seniority: we don't care about it. We're not hiring years logged or titles held — we're hiring hunger, energy, and demonstrated results. If you're early in your career but you've closed real deals and built real automations, you'll beat a 20-year veteran here. Show us what you've built.

The Deal

  • $73,000 fixed base salary — this is a salaried, exempt position
  • 10% of the profits from new business revenue you develop — uncapped. Because it's a profit share, not a revenue share, the efficiencies you engineer flow straight into your bonus: land the contract, then automate its delivery, and you get paid on both. Full formula provided in a written bonus agreement.
  • Benefits: [Insert benefits: health, PTO, mileage reimbursement, etc.]

Be clear-eyed about the hours: this is a high-ownership leadership role, not a 40-hour week. Successful people in this seat routinely invest well beyond standard hours — evenings, events, and weekend availability included — and are reachable when urgent needs arise (outreach events, clinic escalations, payroll deadlines, time-sensitive launches). The base salary does not increase with hours worked; the profit share is where extra effort turns into extra income.

Primary Outcome #1: New Revenue

  • Hunt and close new revenue: ongoing community outreach, outbound sales calls, partnership development, and new income streams for the group
  • Present publicly and often: deliver talks, seminars, and presentations at community gatherings, business groups, wellness events, and partner organizations — you are the public face of our growth
  • Forge corporate wellness and executive health programs with local mid-size and large organizations (discovery, proposals, pricing support, contracting support, rollout)
  • Propose wellness programs for governmental organizations and government employees, including first responders such as police and fire departments
  • Build and manage a pipeline of opportunities — track outreach, follow-ups, meetings, proposals, and results

Primary Outcome #2: AI-Driven Efficiency + Profitability

You will own the mission of making this the leanest, most automated medical group in Southern California. We expect you to relentlessly find low-cost, high-leverage solutions rather than throwing headcount or expensive software at problems.

  • Automate the patient pipeline with AI: deploy AI tools to capture, respond to, qualify, and route incoming patient leads, phone calls, and text messages — AI receptionists/voice agents, chat and SMS assistants, smart routing, and automated follow-up and reactivation
  • Automate marketing with AI: build AI-driven marketing systems — content generation, campaign creation and optimization for Google Ads and Meta Ads, email/SMS nurture sequences, review and reputation workflows, and reporting
  • Streamline operations for profitability: identify bottlenecks and waste across locations, redesign workflows, and automate scheduling, intake, confirmations, and internal handoffs using Zapier, Airtable, APIs, and AI platforms integrated with our EHR (e.g., Jane), Slack, Microsoft Teams, and SMS systems
  • Champion lean solutions: maximize output per dollar — vet tools ruthlessly, eliminate redundant spend, and build scrappy in-house solutions where off-the-shelf is overpriced
  • Measure everything: build KPI dashboards tying leads, bookings, show rates, conversion, cost-per-acquisition, and revenue by service directly to profitability

Non-Negotiable: Patient Care + Compliance

We want lean and fast — but never at the expense of patient safety, patient experience, or healthcare regulations. Efficiency that cuts corners on care or compliance isn't efficiency; it's a liability. In this role you will:

  • Protect patient care standards: no automation ships if it degrades the patient experience or removes a human where a human is clinically needed — clinical decisions always stay with our medical professionals
  • Build compliant-by-design: AI and automation tools that touch patient information must be handled with HIPAA in mind, including proper vendor vetting and Business Associate Agreements where required
  • Respect communication rules: patient texting and outreach must follow consent and telemarketing rules (e.g., TCPA), and marketing must comply with healthcare advertising regulations
  • Escalate, don't improvise: when a shortcut brushes up against clinical, privacy, or regulatory questions, you bring it to physician leadership before deploying — every time

What You'll Also Own (Supporting Responsibilities)

  • Clinic operations: standardize day-to-day operations across locations; improve patient flow, scheduling accuracy, and front-desk performance; build SOPs and training playbooks
  • Financial operations: bookkeeping, payroll processing, reconciliations, expense and vendor tracking, profitability reporting
  • Executive support: calendar, priorities, and follow-through for multiple Medical Directors
  • Events + outreach: promotional events and local outreach initiatives, concept through post-event results

Locations + Travel (Onsite)

Work is performed onsite at clinics in Orange County, Palm Desert, Temecula, and San Diego. Regular travel between locations is an essential part of the role.

Requirements (Must Have)

  • Proven business development track record: outreach, outbound calls, relationship building, and closed deals — be ready to tell us who you targeted and what you landed
  • Exceptional presence and communication: charismatic, persuasive, and confident presenting to groups and speaking at public events
  • Extreme tech-savviness with AI tools: hands-on experience deploying AI for real business workflows — lead response, voice/chat/SMS automation, marketing automation — not just casual chatbot use. Be ready to demo something you built.
  • Lean-operations mindset: a track record of cutting costs or multiplying output without adding headcount
  • High integrity on compliance: working awareness of HIPAA as it applies to patient communications and automation, and the judgment to build fast without cutting corners on patient care or regulations
  • Extreme work ethic and availability: self-driven, responsive outside traditional business hours when urgent needs arise, and motivated by performance-based upside
  • Experience working in or managing a medical practice or medical group (operations, staffing, patient flow) — we care about what you did there, not how many years you logged
  • Bookkeeping capability with hands-on payroll processing experience
  • Strong automation skills: Zapier, Airtable, APIs, Jane (or similar EHR), Slack, Microsoft Teams, and SMS platforms
  • Working understanding of Google Ads and Meta Ads
  • Valid driver's license, auto insurance, and reliable transportation; ability to work onsite across multiple Southern California locations with schedule flexibility

Preferred (Nice to Have)

  • Experience in aesthetics, med spa, cash-pay clinics, wellness, concierge medicine, or regenerative services
  • Experience deploying AI voice agents, AI receptionists, or conversational AI in a healthcare or appointment-based business
  • Experience building corporate wellness / executive health programs or selling services to organizations or government
  • Multi-location operations experience; strong Excel/Google Sheets reporting skills; vendor management
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English)

Our Hiring Process

We're selective about this seat, and we respect your time — here's exactly what to expect:

  • 1. Intro call — a focused conversation about your track record and what drives you
  • 2. Working session — walk us through deals you've closed and demo automations you've built, and talk through real scenarios from our clinics, from growth opportunities to compliance judgment calls. This is where builders shine and resumes stop mattering.
  • 3. The pitch — the final round is a live presentation: you'll pitch a concept, program, or service to our physician leadership as if we were a prospective client. Treat us like a corporate HR team you're trying to close. If you love to sell, this is the round you'll look forward to.

We move fast for the right person.

How to Apply

Send:

  • Your resume
  • A short note covering: (1) your biggest business development win — who you targeted, what you pitched, and the revenue result; (2) the best AI automation you've built — tools used, what it replaced, and the dollars or hours it saved; (3) an example of you presenting or speaking publicly; (4) your payroll/bookkeeping experience
  • Optional: video of you presenting, screenshots or demos of automations, dashboards, campaign examples, or event photos

About This Role

AI Product Managers define what AI features get built and why. They translate business problems into ML-solvable tasks, work with engineering to scope model requirements, and own the metrics that determine if an AI feature is working. The role requires a rare combination of technical fluency and product instinct.

Unlike traditional product management, AI PM work involves managing uncertainty at a fundamental level. Your model might work 90% of the time. What happens the other 10%? What's the user experience when the AI is wrong? How do you measure 'good enough' for a probabilistic system? These questions don't have easy answers, and the AI PM is the person responsible for finding them.

Across the 8,943 AI roles we're tracking, AI Product Manager positions make up 5% of the market. At Time Unwind Medical Group, Inc., this role fits into their broader AI and engineering organization.

AI Product Manager roles are growing as companies realize that shipping AI features requires different product thinking than traditional software. The best candidates combine product management experience with enough technical depth to have productive conversations with ML engineers about model capabilities and limitations.

What the Work Looks Like

A typical week includes: reviewing model evaluation results with the ML team, defining success metrics for a new AI feature, conducting user research on how customers respond to AI-generated outputs, writing product requirements that include accuracy thresholds and fallback behaviors, and presenting the AI roadmap to leadership. You're the translator between technical capability and business value.

The best candidates combine product management experience with enough technical depth to have productive conversations with ML engineers about model capabilities and limitations.

Skills Required

Zapier

Technical fluency with ML concepts is essential, though you won't be writing models. Expect to understand training data, evaluation metrics, model limitations, and responsible AI practices. SQL and basic Python are increasingly expected. Experience with A/B testing, data analysis, and product analytics is baseline. Understanding LLM capabilities and limitations is now a core requirement.

The differentiator is AI-specific product thinking: knowing when to use ML vs. heuristics, understanding the cost of training data collection, designing graceful degradation for model failures, and building products that improve with usage data. Experience with AI safety, bias mitigation, and responsible AI deployment is increasingly important.

Strong postings describe specific AI products the PM will own, mention the ML team structure, and talk about measurement methodology. Look for companies that have already shipped AI features. Roles at companies that are 'exploring AI' often mean you'll spend a year defining the strategy before any building happens.

Compensation Benchmarks

AI Product Manager roles pay a median of $220,200 based on 862 positions with disclosed compensation. Director-level AI roles across all categories have a median of $272,250.

Across all AI roles, the market median is $213,380. Top-quartile compensation starts at $264,148. The 90th percentile reaches $319,310. For comparison, the highest-paying categories include AI Safety ($253,100) and Research Engineer ($252,000).

Location Context

Across all AI roles, 6% (521 positions) offer remote work, while 8,351 require on-site attendance. Top AI hiring metros: New York (2,878 roles, $221,000 median); San Francisco (2,416 roles, $263,811 median); Los Angeles (1,340 roles, $210,000 median).

Career Path

Common paths into AI Product Manager roles include Product Manager, Data Analyst, Technical Program Manager.

From here, career progression typically leads toward Director of AI Product, VP Product, Head of AI.

The most effective path is PM experience plus self-directed AI education. Take Andrew Ng's courses, build a small ML project, and learn enough Python to read model evaluation code. The goal isn't to become an ML engineer. It's to have credibility in technical conversations and to understand what's possible, what's hard, and what's a bad idea.

What to Expect in Interviews

AI interviews typically combine coding challenges (Python-focused), system design questions tailored to the role, and discussions about your experience with relevant tools and frameworks. Strong candidates demonstrate both technical depth and the ability to make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs. Prepare portfolio projects that demonstrate end-to-end capability rather than isolated skills.

When evaluating opportunities: Strong postings describe specific AI products the PM will own, mention the ML team structure, and talk about measurement methodology. Look for companies that have already shipped AI features. Roles at companies that are 'exploring AI' often mean you'll spend a year defining the strategy before any building happens.

The AI Job Market Today

The AI job market spans 8,943 open positions across 16 role categories. The largest categories by volume: AI/ML Engineer (6,739), AI Product Manager (403), AI Software Engineer (402). These three account for the majority of open positions, though smaller categories often have higher per-role compensation because of specialized skill requirements.

The seniority mix tells a story about where AI teams are in their maturity. Entry-level roles (175) are outnumbered by mid-level (4,132) and senior (3,268) positions, reflecting that most companies are past the 'build a team from scratch' phase and need experienced engineers who can ship production systems. Leadership roles (Director, VP, C-Level) total 1,368 positions, representing the bottleneck between technical execution and organizational strategy.

Remote work availability sits at 6% of all AI roles (521 positions), with 8,351 requiring on-site or hybrid attendance. The remote share has stabilized after the post-pandemic correction. Senior and specialized roles (Research Scientist, ML Architect) are more likely to be remote-eligible than entry-level positions, partly because experienced hires have more negotiating power and partly because these roles require less hands-on mentorship.

AI compensation is structured in clear tiers. The market median sits at $213,380. Top-quartile roles start at $264,148, and the 90th percentile reaches $319,310. These figures include base salary with disclosed compensation. Total compensation (including equity, bonuses, and sign-on) runs 20-40% higher at companies that offer those components.

Category matters for compensation. AI Safety roles lead at $253,100 median, while Prompt Engineer roles sit at $141,440. The spread between highest and lowest-paying categories reflects the premium on specialized technical skills versus broader analytical roles.

The most in-demand skills across all AI postings: Python (1,422 postings), Aws (808 postings), Azure (638 postings), Rag (555 postings), Gcp (457 postings), Pytorch (433 postings), Claude (341 postings), Kubernetes (337 postings). Python dominates, appearing in the vast majority of role descriptions regardless of category. Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP, Azure) is the second most common requirement. The newer entrants to the top skills list (RAG, vector databases, LLM APIs) reflect the shift from traditional ML toward generative AI applications.
