Description
About the Role
We’re looking for a Product Manager, New Programs to build net-new experiences in an emerging condition category. This is a true 0→1 role: you’ll start from ambiguous problems, form sharp hypotheses, validate quickly with users and data, and ship experiences that create real member and business impact.
You’ll operate as a full-stack builder — equally comfortable shaping UX flows, pressure-testing data models and metrics, and working through technical constraints with engineering. You’ll work closely with clinical, design, engineering, and go-to-market partners to define what we build, why it matters, and how we’ll know it’s working.
What You’ll Do
- Ramp fast in a new domain
- Quickly build a deep, structured understanding of user needs, clinical context, and product opportunities without waiting for perfect information.
- Form a clear point of view, update it as you learn, and communicate it crisply to stakeholders.
- Lead discovery & validation
- Identify high-value, unmet user problems and size the opportunity.
- Design lean tests (prototypes, pilots, experiments) to validate the core assumptions before we commit.
- Synthesize qualitative and quantitative signal into clear recommendations and next steps.
- Drive 0→1 execution
- Translate validated directions into shippable product experiences without an existing playbook.
- Make hard, principled trade-offs under time and resource constraints, protecting what’s truly critical for user value and clinical quality.
- Work hand-in-hand with engineering, design, and clinical partners to get high-quality releases out the door quickly.
- Influence across functions and levels
- Navigate the “seams” of the organization — picking up work where ownership is unclear, unblocking dependencies, and creating alignment where it doesn’t yet exist.
- Engage senior stakeholders with a clear, structured point of view, including when you’re advocating for an unpopular or contrarian position.
- Make data central to decisions
- Write crisp hypotheses with clear success criteria and leading/lagging indicators.
- Partner with Data and Engineering to stand up the right instrumentation and reporting when infrastructure is limited.
- Use data to change direction, not just to confirm it.
Who You Are
Background & Experience
- ~5–8 years of experience in product management or highly relevant roles (e.g., business operations, strategy, consulting, or “founder/operator” roles) where you owned outcomes end-to-end — not just execution of a predefined roadmap.
- Demonstrated experience launching something net-new: starting from an unclear problem, building a hypothesis, validating it with real users, and shipping a product or feature to market.
- You’ve worked in environments with ambiguous ownership and incomplete information, and you’re comfortable creating structure rather than waiting for it.
Super Strengths
- Structured judgment & learning velocity
- You make confident calls without perfect information and know how to close the gaps fast.
- You seek out the “deep end” — new domains and messy problems — and can articulate what you got wrong and how you’d approach it differently next time.
- High-signal product intuition
- You have a strong sense for where real user friction and business opportunity live, and you think in expected value, not just feature ideas.
- You right-size solutions: you don’t over-engineer before validating the core assumption.
- Relentless, creative execution
- “That’s not possible” is a prompt, not a stop sign. You find another path that respects constraints while still moving the ball forward.
- You act with urgency and extreme ownership, stepping outside a narrow PM lane when needed to get critical work shipped.
- Cross-functional influence
