About the Role

We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager to own the core marketplace experience. We’re rethinking things from the ground up—you won’t be inheriting a roadmap, a backlog, or a set of conventions. You’ll be building the product from scratch alongside the CPTO.

This role requires someone who thinks in systems. A marketplace is not a single product—it’s an ecosystem. You’ll need to hold the consumer experience, the practitioner experience, the matching logic, the trust and safety layer, the business model, and the growth loops in your head simultaneously, and make smart tradeoffs between them every day.

You will report directly to the CPTO and work alongside a small, senior engineering team. There are no layers between you and the work, and no layers between you and the decisions that shape the company.

What You’ll Own

Product Strategy & Vision

• Define the product vision and strategy for the marketplace, grounded in deep user understanding, competitive analysis, and a clear-eyed view of the business model.
• Own the roadmap end-to-end. Decide what to build, what to kill, and what to sequence—with conviction, not consensus.
• Develop and maintain a strong point of view on where the wellness and longevity market is heading and how our product should evolve to lead, not follow.
• TRUE 0→1 product thinking: identify the fastest and cheapest ways to validate core assumptions before committing significant engineering investment.

Marketplace Systems Thinking

• Design and optimize both sides of the marketplace: the consumer journey (discovery → trust → booking → retention) and the practitioner journey (onboarding → activation → growth → advocacy).
• Develop frameworks for marketplace health: supply/demand balance, liquidity metrics, matching quality, and network effects.
• Own the cold-start playbook. Figure out how to bootstrap supply and demand in new verticals and geographies.
• Think critically about marketplace trust and safety—credential verification, reviews, dispute resolution—as a product surface, not an afterthought.

Execution & Shipping

• Partner with engineering and design to ship continuously. Write clear, opinionated specs. Run structured discovery. Make scope decisions that keep velocity high.
• Instrument everything. Define success metrics for every feature. Run experiments. Kill things that aren’t working.
• Balance competing priorities across consumer, practitioner, and platform workstreams while maintaining a clear view of the overall system.

Business & Growth

• Own the business logic of the marketplace: pricing models, take rates, subscription tiers, transaction economics.
• Partner with growth and marketing on acquisition loops, activation funnels, and retention strategies for both sides of the marketplace.
• Use data to identify the highest-leverage opportunities. Build the instrumentation and dashboards needed to operate with clarity.

AI as a Force Multiplier

• Integrate AI into your daily operating system as a product manager for research synthesis, spec and strategy drafting, data analysis, prototyping, and workflow automation.
• Bring a perspective on how AI should be woven into the product itself—personalized recommendations, intelligent matching, and automated practitioner tools.
• Raise the AI fluency bar for the entire team by sharing what works and encouraging adoption.

Who You Are

Experience & Background

• 7+ years of product management experience, with significant time on marketplace, platform, or multi-sided products.
• Startup founder, founding PM, or early employee experience building 0→1 products with limited resources.
• Experience operating at the Senior, Staff, or Principal level (or equivalent altitude as an early operator).
• Proven ability to ship products that drive measurable business outcomes, not just features.

Domain Passion

• Deep passion for wellness, longevity, and preventive health with a personal or professional connection to health optimization.
• Current on trends in functional medicine, longevity research, consumer health, and the evolving practitioner landscape.

Working Style

• Exceptional product taste with keen attention to detail.
• Clear, precise communication in writing, specs, and direct technical discussions.
• High comfort level with ambiguity and rapid pace.
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable querying data, running analyses, and making data-informed decisions.
• Low ego, high ownership mindset.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience in health, wellness, longevity, or consumer health, including regulatory and compliance dynamics.
• Experience building or scaling a marketplace through cold-start strategies and network effects.
• Experience building AI-native products.
• Technical depth (reading code, writing SQL, prototyping in low-code/no-code tools).

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Compensation: $220,000 - $280,000
• Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity package with standard 4-year vesting and 1-year cliff.
• Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus life and disability coverage.
• Retirement: 401(k) plan with tax-advantaged savings options.
• Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the continental U.S. Distributed team valuing async communication, deep focus, and intentional offsites.
• Home Office Support: Workspace setup stipend and monthly support for internet or coworking.
• Wellness: Monthly wellness stipend for fitness and recovery, plus access to mental health resources and therapy support.
• Flexible Time Off: Flexible PTO policies.
