About kaiko.ai

Kaiko is building a next-generation agentic clinical AI assistant that helps clinicians reason across patient data, guidelines, and diagnostics.

Healthcare decisions are rarely made by a single person or from a single data source. kaiko’s assistant maintains longitudinal patient context across encounters, clinicians, and institutions, enabling collaboration, second opinions, and complex diagnostic workflows. The system is designed to operate safely in real clinical environments, with human oversight, auditability, and regulatory alignment at its core.

Our assistant core supports broadly applicable clinical tasks such as patient data navigation, guideline interaction, multimodal interaction (chat and voice), and care coordination. On top of this foundation, we are developing specialized diagnostic agents in areas such as oncology, radiology, and pathology.

We build in close collaboration with leading hospitals and research centers, including the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). kaiko is a well-funded company with a growing international team, operating from Zurich and Amsterdam.

About the role

As Kaiko rapidly scales its commercial footprint, we need to ensure every new hospital implementation delivers a seamless onboarding experience, strong adoption, and measurable value from day one. Our ability to turn pilots into long-term partnerships depends on how well we support customers through implementation and beyond.

As a Customer Success Manager, you will own hospital implementations, build trusted relationships with users and stakeholders, and help customers realize value quickly. You will play a key role in shaping a best-in-class onboarding and support model that drives retention, expansion, and pilot-to-paid conversion.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Kaiko as an early member of a growing Customer Success function, work cross-functionally with clinical, business, and technical teams, and help define the playbook for how we scale customer success in healthcare.

You will be based in the Netherlands with the expectation of spending at least 50% of your time at the office.
