Description
- We are looking for a PM who wants to own a product surface end to end and drive deep impact. You’ll work with dedicated engineering, design, clinical, ops, and GTM partners, and be accountable for how the whole product succeeds. Your customers are some of the largest health systems in the country. Your users are physicians and nurses
- Set the strategy for a major product surface and drive it from vision through discovery, spec, launch, adoption, and iteration. What you ship this year shapes how care gets delivered across the country
- Work full stack across the whole product motion. Craft intuitive UIs clinicians actually want to use, set the bar on backend reliability and model quality, and shape the GTM strategy and operational playbooks that drive adoption across clinics and hospitals. You do this alongside dedicated engineering, design, clinical, ops, and GTM partners
- Sit shoulder to shoulder with providers. Spend real time onsite in clinics, hospitals, and on nursing floors. Watch how care actually gets delivered, feel the friction, and carry that back into every prioritization decision
- Build direct relationships with clinical and executive customers at some of the largest health systems in the country. Understand their world, ship into their environments, and partner with GTM to drive adoption and expansion
- Own the metrics that matter. Define the OKRs, use quantitative and qualitative signal to prioritize, and stay accountable to the outcomes
- Define what best-in-class AI-native healthcare software should feel like. The category is being invented right now, and the products that win will be the ones providers actually love to use
- Choose your path as the team grows. Build toward managing PMs if you want to become a people leader, or stay hands-on and take on increasingly broad and strategic product surfaces as an IC. Both tracks are real, and both are valued
- Staff PM: A track record of setting strategy, driving complex product areas across multiple teams, and influencing senior cross-functional stakeholders
- Senior PM: 3+ years of product management experience, with strong generalist fundamentals and a track record of owning products end to end
- Curiosity and drive. You are the kind of person who studies the domain, not just the product
- Familiarity with AI. You have used and reasoned about LLMs, agents, and evals. You keep up with the frontier and get excited about what’s shipping this month, not last year
- Consumer product instincts. A sense for building things end users actually love, not just products that clear procurement
- Comfort with ambiguity and excitement about shaping what your role becomes
- Technical fluency to read documentation, understand APIs and integrations, and hold substantive conversations with engineers
- A structured approach to user research and a real track record of turning insight into shipped product
- Genuine passion for healthcare. Clinical experience, time at a healthtech company, or meaningful work alongside providers is a plus, but what matters most is that you care deeply about the space and want to spend your time changing how care gets delivered
- Sharp written and verbal communication. You can write a PRD that aligns cross-functional teams across engineering, clinical, ops, and sales without a meeting, and hold the room when you do present, whether it’s a design review, an exec update, or a customer pitch
