Responsibilities
- Own the 0-to-1 build of the parent-facing portal, from concept through launch and live product
- Design a seamless, consumer-grade journey for families navigating care, including intake, scheduling, messaging, and payments

- Partner cross-functionally with ops, clinical, and growth teams to ensure the product drives real outcomes such as faster start of care, better retention, and higher utilization
Requirements
- Highly product-minded and execution-driven; you build and ship, not only define features
- Strong intuition for consumer products and the ability to translate that into healthcare
- Comfortable in ambiguity and energized by 0-to-1 environments
- Constantly talk to users and translate insights into product decisions
- Bias for action and the ability to move fast without sacrificing quality
- Fluent with modern AI tools and use them as a force multiplier in your workflow
