Role
Who you are
- Brave decision-makers: You make bold bets, challenge the status quo, and aren’t afraid to take risks
- Builders: You love creating from scratch and thrive in ambiguity
- Leaders:You inspire, you push forward, and you bring people along for the ride
- Adaptable thinkers: You thrive off change and aren’t married to process—you care about outcomes
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a bold, visionary Head of Product who thrives on complexity
- Someone who sees the dysfunction in healthcare and insurance, not as barriers, but as an invitation to build something better. This is about reinventing the system, not tweaking it. If you’re the kind of leader who is looking for the opportunity to be at the epicenter of transforming the future of fertility care, we’d love to have you on this journey
- Lead with insight and urgency, using data and user research to define the right products
- Break things, rebuild them, and move fast, balancing iteration with long-term vision
- Challenge how things are done today and push for better, more scalable solutions
- Work cross-functionally with engineering, growth/marketing, and operations to build, test, and refine
- Make tough calls, defend their ideas, and drive execution in an environment with no playbook
- Reporting to the CEO
Our take
Gaia Fertility was founded in 2020 as a response to founder Nader Alsalim and his wife’s personal difficulty with IVF: it took three clinics in two countries, and £50,000 over four years to conceive. Creating the start-up from a patient experience perspective helps them to solve the challenges of intended parents.
Their approach is to take the guesswork out of trying for a baby. They use a personal predictive technology tool, “Gabi”, which has analysed the data from over one million past IVF treatments over 35 years and can compare it with clients information.
There is some well-reasoned concern for vulnerable parents being sold ‘false hope’ in overseas IVF treatments. However, with only 12% of NHS groups offering the recommended number of IVF cycles, Gaia can offer an alternative, specialised care package.
With substantial funding raised in 2022 from high-profile investors, and a growing focus on fertility health in men and women across society, Gaia is well-positioned to disrupt this market and make a real difference in the lives of intended parents.
