Company mission
To deliver better healthcare to small businesses through a seamless care experience and affordable benefits.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of relevant product management experience with prior start-up experience (especially in healthtech, insurtech, or other regulated spaces) a plus
- You think strategically and deliver measurable impact. You connect company vision to product outcomes, defining the levers that move both user value and business goals
- You learn by shipping. You move from concept to test quickly, measure results, and use insights to refine direction. You leverage AI to prototype faster and define MVPs that prioritize learning over perfection. You know progress comes from real-world feedback, not theory
- You lead with ownership and have a bias for action. You clarify goals, align stakeholders, and ensure follow-through. You don’t let batons drop in hand-offs because you know your work has real impact on thousands of people’s health and finances
- You create clarity in motion. You frame problems with data, define success, and keep teams focused on what matters most. Your writing, briefs, and consistent progress updates to your collaborators make complexity simple and decisions actionable
- You’re collaborative and low-ego. You build trust across teams, knowing Product’s role is to surface insights, align context, and shepherd the best ideas forward — not just your own. You invite feedback early and often because you know great products are built together
- You’re an advocate for users. You pair strong product taste with humility. You know what a fantastic experience looks like — from infrastructure to UX — but you validate through data and research, letting evidence guide the final call
What the job involves
- To support these efforts, we’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to catalyze the delivery of convenient, simple, and high-quality tools and experiences across our different product verticals
- Reporting to the Head of Product, you’ll collaborate closely with design, engineering, data, product marketing, clinical, operations, and growth partners to shape both our external platforms (for brokers, admins, and members) and internal tools (for clinical and operations teams)
- If you thrive in variety, love turning complex challenges (healthcare!) into elegant solutions, and bring initiative, curiosity, and clarity to every collaboration, we’d love to meet you
- Drive execution from insight to impact
- Translate company-level goals into clear, data-backed roadmaps that tackle the highest-priority problems for the business
- At Sana, we value focus, so you’ll concentrate on one or two high-leverage initiatives at a time, defining the metrics that matter and driving measurable outcomes end-to-end
- Lead with high impact and high agency, with strong support
- You’ll work directly with company leaders and cross-functional partners to align on priorities, influence how the team works and builds, and surface insights that shape what comes next
- You might pivot between product areas over time — for example, leading core improvements for brokers before turning to internal tools for clinicians
- This is a high-trust environment with strong systems for collaboration, giving you both autonomy and guidance to move quickly and deliver meaningful impact
- Own metrics and iteration
- Establish baselines, track engagement and adoption, and use insights to recommend next experiments
- Stay close to users and teammates
- Shadow internal teams and meet directly with members, admins, and brokers to uncover needs, validate ideas, and refine solutions
- Leverage quantitative and qualitative data and all feedback available
- Use AI as a thinking partner
- You get creative with prompts to bring the best out of tools—prototyping and validating ideas quickly to build shared understanding
- You use AI to visualize and communicate concepts clearly, focusing on intent and user value to align teams efficiently
- Create clarity and alignment
- Frame problems with data, articulate tradeoffs, and make scope visible so collaborators understand the “why,” not just the “what
- ” Keep teams anchored on value, spot scope creep early, and facilitate crisp pre-reads and decision reviews that close loops quickly
- Translate that clarity into action by owning prioritization, ticket creation, and sprint planning
- Ensure design and engineering have full context, well-defined requirements, and ROI guardrails so every cycle moves the product meaningfully forward
- Prepare for launch and adoption
- Lead internal demos, training, and documentation so stakeholders and Product Marketing are ready for go-to-market
- Model Sana's Values
- Ship It, Be Curious, Embrace Change, Take Ownership
- You’ll be biased for progress, stay curious, adapt quickly, and bring clarity wherever you go
Our take
Health insurance benefits are essential for employers to remain competitive. But it can be difficult for small businesses to offer high-quality benefits at a reasonable rate, and without paying for things they don't need. Sana Benefits provides self-financed health insurance benefit plans which allow small businesses to pick and choose the services that they offer.
The company aims to provide options that are more affordable to small businesses than the insurance giants of the US. For example, Sana touts partnerships with Meditech startups such as Beam for dental coverage and Calm for mental wellness, and has intelligently partnered with small medical businesses and insurance startups.
Following investment from some top names in insurtech, the company has pursued expansion into new states and is set to be an industry leader. While the economic situation caused a round of layoffs early in 2023, Sana Benefits has remained positive - stating that by "re-orienting", it will be able to deliver on its mission well into the future.
