Program Manager - LLMs in Public Health

Location: Bangalore

Type: Full-time

About the Role

This is your opportunity to take the lead in shaping and driving impactful AI-driven projects for public health in India. As a Program Manager, you will be at the forefront of pioneering LLM-based applications, managing partnerships, and ensuring these solutions deliver real-world impact. If you are passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve healthcare outcomes and are excited to contribute to one of the few teams that have successfully deployed LLM-based solutions in public health, this role is for you.

You will play a crucial role in expanding ARTPARK’s impact by forging partnerships, driving execution, and exploring innovative ways to leverage LLMs to address public health challenges.

You will be a part of the GenAI team at ARTPARK.

ARTPARK’s GenAI team partners with several non-profits to solve problems and create impact on the ground in public health by leveraging LLMs. Our focus includes projects that address real-world problems, such as our recent collaboration with Armman, funded by the Gates Foundation. It involved developing LLM-based applications to aid health workers in the field, demonstrating our commitment to practical and impactful AI applications. Such is the impact potential of this initiative that it featured in Gates Notes as one of “the coolest innovations” he saw at the event.

We are now on track to form strong partnerships to build and deploy LLM-based applications across domains such as mental health, non-communicable diseases, and environmental impact on health.
