What the job involves
- Wellist is seeking an experienced Interim Product Manager to drive the scoping, prioritization, and definition of key product and technical enhancements across the business
- This role is a critical bridge between business needs and engineering execution as we strengthen our infrastructure, scale our offerings, and lay the foundation for future growth
- The Interim Product Manager will work directly with Wellist’s executive leadership to align priorities to business value, triage the product roadmap, codify business requirements, and translate them into actionable engineering tickets
- This individual will also serve as Scrum Master, supporting a small but growing engineering team of 2 full-time engineers and 1 offshore contractor
- Partner with executives and functional leaders to identify, prioritize, and scope high-impact product enhancements across platform features, client reporting, call center tools, and user support workflows
- Define, scope, and document clear, actionable business requirements and acceptance criteria
- Create and manage Jira tickets, ensuring a well-organized and transparent backlog
- Facilitate agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives
- Conduct quality control (QC) testing to validate releases and ensure they meet defined requirements
- Triage and adjust roadmap priorities based on evolving business needs
- Align stakeholders around key decisions and communicate progress consistently and transparently
- Support foundational technical upgrades to prepare for future scale
- Contract role; 35–40 hours per week commitment

Our take
Achieving success as a healthcare provider requires patients to receive the best healthcare possible. But this is commonly stunted by a one-size-fits-all approach. Neither patients, families, nor caregivers have the tools to achieve personalized healthcare experiences. This ultimately leads to unsatisfied patients and missed growth opportunities for healthcare providers.
To help with this, Wellist provides a consumer navigation program for healthcare patients, families, and caregivers. This provides them with a digital education platform, communication tools, vetted support services, and the necessary communication mediums for maximizing the care quality that patients receive.
Whilst many startups within the healthcare sector are leveraging cutting-edge tech such as AI and automation to improve care quality, Wellist has actually taken a step back. It focusses instead on the tools and resources needed for better healthcare. This unique approach enables it to both stand out and supply value for all parties in the healthcare ecosystem.
