Founding Product Lead
About Us
GenMD is unlocking healthcare data at scale. Today, roughly 97% of healthcare data goes unused because of patient privacy concerns. We’ve found a way to unlock that data—safely and ethically—for AI labs, pharma companies, and researchers. We provide the core infrastructure that enables better drugs, faster clinical trials, and more powerful medical research—the kind of foundation that makes real breakthroughs, including curing diseases, possible.
The company was built out of years inside Stanford Medicine, working closely with world-class researchers and clinicians. We have access to tens of millions of patients, longitudinal health records, and clinical notes. GenMD is just coming out of stealth, already revenue-generating, well-funded, and backed by premier investors with years of runway. We’re intentionally small, move fast, and are focused on building something fundamental.
The Product
We turn a health system's real patient data into privacy-preserving digital twins — synthetic records that keep the statistical structure of the original without exposing a single patient. Health systems monetize data they could never share; researchers, pharma, and AI labs get same-day access instead of waiting months on IRB and contracting.
The Role
You’ll be our first full time product hire, reporting directly to the CEO. There is no product org to inherit and no playbook to follow. You’ll own discovery, what we build, and how it goes to market. In your first year you will:
Launch the product and land our first X paying customers
Decide what we build next, and what we don't, and work with engineers to ship it
Sharpen and validate how we package and price our products
Requirements
5+ years in product roles, with direct experience in healthcare, pharma, life sciences, or regulated data products.
Experience building and shipping products in very early-stage startups (e.g. first PM, first product hire, or pre-PMF teams).
Has taken a product from 0 → 1 or 1 → early revenue, including customer discovery, positioning, and iteration.
Comfortable selling the product: joining sales calls, handling objections, and shaping the product based on buyer feedback.
Strong product judgment under ambiguity—you’ve worked with limited resources, unclear specs, and fast-changing priorities.
Founder mentality: you’ve owned outcomes in environments where there was no playbook.

Small team, high ownership, fast pace.
We don’t hire for culture fit—we hire people who create culture.
