Company mission
To improve lives by helping real people choose, use, and appreciate their benefits.
Role
Who you are
- Smart, scrappy, and comfortable figuring things out as they go
- Obsessed with users and the market—every interaction is a chance to learn
- Gritty enough to wrestle Medicare’s complexity without flinching
- Clear communicators who collaborate well and wear more than one hat
- Champions of progress over process
- A healthy amount of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, TPM, or similar role with real delivery accountability as well as a lifetime of being a tinkerer
- A track record of shaping scope and plans for complex, interdependent systems
- Strong technical fluency and comfort working close to engineers, with the ability to understand and discuss APIs, integrations, data flows, and system constraints
- Experience using product and content development tools like the Atlassian Suite, Figma, Claude, ChatGPT, CMS platforms
- The backbone to challenge timelines and assumptions when they don’t hold water
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and disciplined about follow-through
- Willingness to do hands-on work—not just coordinate it
- Pragmatic, direct, and focused on outcomes over ceremony
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an instinct to advocate for users
- Ability to thrive in fast-moving, evolving environments
- Curious, humble, collaborative teammate
- Experience in regulated or highly complex industries is a plus
- This job is not for you if:
- You’re looking for a well-oiled machine with fixed requirements, long roadmaps, and minimal ambiguity. This is a build-in-flight product, not a maintenance role
- You prefer process for process’s sake. We use structure to move faster and think more clearly—not to create ceremony or hide behind Jira hygiene
- You want to be handed fully baked specs and told what to ship. This role exists because the specs don’t exist yet—and someone needs to help create them
- You’re uncomfortable pushing back on leadership, timelines, or assumptions. We value respectful challenge and clear-eyed realism over optimism theater
- You like staying safely in your lane. Medicare, compliance, content, UX, engineering, and business realities all collide here. Curiosity and range matter
- You want to manage work without owning outcomes. This role carries real accountability for delivery, clarity, and momentum
- You’re allergic to regulated complexity. Medicare is nuanced, rule-bound, and occasionally absurd. If that sounds exhausting rather than interesting, this will be a long year
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a technical Product Owner to help shape how MyALEXHealth gets planned, built, and delivered
- You’ll be a central force on a small, fast-moving team building a product that actually helps people—not just checks boxes
- You’ll work closely with Leadership, Design, Engineering, and Marketing to shape features early, navigate complexity and compliance, and bring order to the chaos without slowing us down
- You’ll have real influence over priorities and plans, and the trust to help define what “great” looks like here
- For the right person, this role comes with meaningful ownership—and the satisfaction of putting structure and momentum behind a product that genuinely matters
- You’ll help define what we’re building before engineers ever pick it up
- You’ll lead scoping and feature-shaping conversations, identify dependencies and risks early (technical, content, compliance), and help translate fuzzy ideas into clear, testable requirements
- You’ll partner closely with Design and Engineering to define what “done” actually means
- Success looks like: work enters development with clarity, shared understanding, and no major “oh wait” moments
- You’ll lead estimation with the team and turn it into delivery plans that are ambitious but believable
- You’ll help the team understand capacity, make smart tradeoffs, and sequence work so progress is steady and intentional
- You’ll surface risks early, challenge assumptions when timelines get magical, and push for course correction before things go sideways
- Success looks like: we hit commitments because we planned well—not because we got lucky
- You’ll be the keeper of context
- You’ll maintain decision logs, translate decisions into clear next steps, and keep Jira honest and up to date
- You’ll reduce cognitive load for the team by making priorities, dependencies, and status obvious at all times
- Success looks like: anyone can quickly understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what’s coming next
Application process
- To Apply: please submit your resume as well as a cover letter detailing three reasons why you're right for the gig!
