Fractional Program Manager — Product Testing & Delivery
Summary
Fractional (~10 hrs/week) contractor program manager at NuVee, maker of Koa, a patient-facing AI for obesity/GLP-1 care. Day to day: test patient-facing web/mobile workflows, file and verify actionable bugs, and keep release-readiness and priorities visible across engineering and clinician-led clinical review.
Compensation: $31k – $44k • No equity
NuVee builds Koa, a patient-facing AI supporting people receiving obesity and GLP-1 care between visits. Koa supports patients alongside their clinicians and does not replace clinical care.
We’re seeking a fractional program manager to help our team test thoroughly, stay aligned, and move work through to completion. This hands-on role combines product testing, issue follow-through, and coordination across engineering and clinical leadership.
What you’ll do
• Test patient-facing workflows using agreed scenarios and document results clearly. • Turn findings into actionable issues with reproduction steps, expected behavior, and supporting evidence. • Coordinate across engineering to clarify ownership, track dependencies, surface blockers, and verify fixes. • Keep priorities, decisions, and next steps visible so everyone shares a clear view of progress. • Maintain release-readiness tracking, including testing status, unresolved issues, and required reviews. • Coordinate clinical review when needed. Clinical correctness and clinical approval remain clinician-owned.
The role calls for clear communication, careful documentation, practical judgment, and consistent follow-through. You should enjoy working closely with a small team and turning observations into concrete next steps.
Engagement & compensation Fractional contractor role, initially approximately 10 hours per week. Compensation: $60–$85 USD per hour, depending on relevant experience.
What you bring • Experience coordinating software delivery across engineering and product teams, with clear ownership and practical follow-through. • Hands-on experience testing web or mobile products, documenting reproducible bugs, and verifying fixes. • Comfort maintaining an issue tracker, prioritizing with team leads, and communicating blockers and tradeoffs concisely. • Careful judgment around sensitive information and a willingness to escalate clinical questions to qualified clinicians.
Experience with digital health, patient-facing products, or conversational AI is a plus.
Success in this role means a clear testing cadence, actionable issues, visible priorities, and release decisions supported by documented checks and the appropriate engineering and clinical reviews.
