Founding Product Manager
About Squad Health
Squad Health is solving the biggest problem in healthcare: specialty medication access. Specialty drugs are on track to be an $800B market by 2030, yet roughly 40% of these prescriptions never make it to the patient. Not because the therapy doesn't work, but because the process doesn't. Providers spend dozens of hours a week on benefits verification, prior authorizations, appeals, and financial assistance, and patients wait weeks for medications they need now.
We built an AI platform to own this entire journey. Providers send us the prescription and our platform takes it from there, automating the vast majority of the work and getting patients on therapy in days instead of weeks. It requires multi-horizon, multi-modal agents that can solve complex problems, deal with vast amounts of unstructured data, and integrate with legacy systems throughout the healthcare ecosystem.
In just one year we've already grown to serve thousands of providers across 40+ states, backed by world class technology and healthcare investors. On the other side of the marketplace, the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers partner with Squad to resolve critical barriers to access for patients.
About the Role
You'll be Squad's founding product hire, working directly with our co-founder who led ML product teams at Google and Stripe. You'll build alongside an exceptional engineering team shipping powerful agents into high-stakes healthcare workflows every week, and a strategy & operations team that lives through a clinic's problems every day and deeply understands the opportunities inside the healthcare workflows we touch.
This is a true 0-to-1 product role with three fronts:
Drive the core platform forward. Our AI automates complex, high-stakes healthcare workflows at scale. You'll own how it gets faster, smarter, and more reliable as volume compounds.
Build into new product areas for providers. We win by putting providers first. You'll deeply understand clinic workflows, find the next painful workflow, and turn it into elegant product solutions.
Stand up new ways to promote patient access. You will define how we partner with different pharmaceutical manufacturers and find scalable ways to drive meaningful access wins at a brand level.
You'll thrive here if you go embarrassingly far beyond what providers ask for, ship boldly while hunting for what could break, and never utter the phrase "someone else should fix this".
You'll have an outsized influence on product direction, customer experience, and how we build the product organization itself. You'll be involved in every critical business and product strategy decision we make, working closely with the founders to help the company continue to scale.
What You'll Own
Partner with the founders to set product strategy and where we invest R&D resources
Spend real, intimate time with providers and pharma partners to understand pain points and uncover the opportunities that others miss
Own the end-to-end lifecycle: discovery, requirements, launch, iteration, and scaled rollout across our operations team and customer base
Define success metrics and use our data, one of the richest datasets in medication access, to drive prioritization
Help build the systemic points of collaboration with strategy & ops, our provider team, go-to-market, and of course engineering
What We're Looking For
4+ years of product management in a fast-moving, high-growth technology company
Track record shipping products from concept through launch and scale with clear impact
Experience building AI-powered products, and comfort partnering closely with engineering on technical projects
Background with operationally complex systems and workflows, plus a genuine partnership mentality with operations teams
Strong analytical judgment; you use data to make decisions
Exceptional communication and the ability to influence technical and non-technical teams alike
Deep customer empathy, operating both strategically and tactically
Why Join Squad Health
Own the product function rather than inheriting a slice of the roadmap
Work directly with the founders on decisions that materially shape the company
Capitalize on a real data and intelligence moat in a market where access is the defining problem
Work on a problem where shipping faster literally means patients start life-changing therapy sooner
Help build a generational healthcare technology company with other world-class operators
