Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in ambiguity, love zero-to-one product challenges, and are passionate about transforming healthcare, this is the perfect role for you
- Proven entrepreneurial experience - either as a founder, early-stage product leader, or entrepreneur launching new products or business lines
- Experience working in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments; healthcare or tele-health experience is a strong plus but not required
- Demonstrated success in taking ideas from concept through to launch and early scaling
- Exceptional ability to synthesise market data, customer insights, and business analysis into clear product and business strategies
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with a track record of aligning diverse stakeholders around new initiatives
- Comfortable with ambiguity, resourceful, and proactive in driving projects forward independently
- Deep curiosity about how technology can solve complex healthcare challenges and improve patient outcomes

- Your work will shape the future direction of our platform and ensure we continue delivering innovative, high-quality care to patients
- This role offers a rare opportunity to act as a founder within a fast-growing business, with resources and support to explore high-potential ideas
- Hunt for new opportunities: Identify and size market opportunities, conduct user research, and analyse emerging trends to surface new areas where our platform can expand
- Develop and validate ideas: Create business cases and product visions, design experiments, and test hypotheses to rapidly validate the most promising concepts
- Build MVPs: Lead the design and development of minimum viable products in partnership with engineering, design, clinical, and commercial teams
- Assess viability and scalability: Define success metrics, evaluate results, and make informed recommendations on whether to scale, pivot, or sunset new initiatives
- Act as an internal founder: Operate with strong ownership and entrepreneurial drive, working across functions to rally resources and build momentum behind new ideas
- Influence strategic direction: Contribute to shaping the long-term roadmap and innovation strategy for our business

Our take
MANUAL is a digital healthcare clinic supporting patients with life-changing conditions such as hormonal imbalance, obesity, menopause and hair loss across the UK and Brazil. It does this with a blend of doctor-specialist services, prescription medication backed by science, and digital products informed by behavioural change.
Manual works to remove the stigma around health problems such as obesity, hormone imbalances and menopause through teleconsultations, testing, regular check-ins and a range of tools, supplements and medications to treat common issues like poor sleep, hair loss, erectile dysfunction and skin conditions. Originally focused solely on men's health, the service led a shift in attitudes among its customers, with about half the men using the service to treat more than one condition, indicating that they're not just seeking help for the worst health issue that they're experiencing. Since, then it has opened its services to all genders with a hope to sift attitudes on a wider variety of health issues.
Manual has raised an impressive amount of capital, most recently in 2024. This funding is being used to expand its reach and enhance its services, particularly focussing on treatments for hormonal imbalance, obesity, and hair loss.
