Protege is seeking a Founding Product Manager, Healthcare to take ownership of product development for our healthcare vertical. You will be responsible for maturing our product suite, which includes data ingestion and delivery systems as well as data exploration tools. This role involves finding opportunities, prioritizing efforts, designing solutions, and overseeing rollout.
What You'll Do
- Lead product development for core offerings, which could encompass data products & complementary services, data pipelines, data tools, API/integration surfaces, and vendor partnerships.
- Drive the product roadmap: define opportunities, prioritize initiatives, validate hypotheses, and align stakeholders across engineering, operations, data lab, and go-to-market.
- Collaborate closely with engineering and data teams: write PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and drive delivery.
- Partner cross-functionally with operations to translate manual processes into product automation and scalable workflows.
- Define metrics and success criteria: lead experimentation, analyze results, and iterate.
- Deeply understand users: run user research, interviews, and co-innovate with early customers (both data providers and consumers).
- As a founding member: contribute to product culture, hiring, and process definition.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of B2B product management experience specifically in the healthcare industry.
- Product management experience in an early-stage startup environment.
- Experience PMing data-processing products or solutions.
- Execution bias: you don’t just write specs — you push features to production and iterate based on feedback.
- Skilled at working with ambiguous problems: you can frame issues, break them into hypotheses, run experiments, and make tradeoffs.
- Data and analytical skills: comfortable analyzing metrics and framing and navigating tradeoffs based on data.
- Empathy for users: you’ve done many user interviews and know how to incorporate qualitative feedback into product decisions.
- Excellent communication skills: able to rally engineers, operations, and business stakeholders around product decisions.
- Comfortable with early-stage constraints: limited resources, shifting priorities, wearing multiple hats.
Nice to Have
- Experience with healthcare data, especially EHR/EMR data, imaging, or other unstructured modalities.
- Experience building an AI model.
- Familiarity with experimentation frameworks.
- Experience in scaling a product from the seed or prototype phase to enterprise adoption.
Team & Environment
You will take the reins from the Head of Product and work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, the data lab group, and go-to-market teams. You'll join a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI.
