Senior Product and Design Strategist, Omada Health

• Product + Design Strategists are T-shaped: every Strategist can operate across all of this at a working level, and leans deeper into a Design, PM, research, and/or operational specialty depending on the scope they're leading. The craft toolkit a Product + Design Strategist draws on includes:
• Prototyping — low- to high-fidelity mockups and click-through flows to test and communicate ideas, including coded experiences that give users and stakeholders a more immersive way to test
• Visual & interaction design — applying design system components, typography, and interaction patterns to real screens and other touchpoints; drafting microcopy and in-product messaging
• Writing PRDs/specs — documenting functional requirements and success metrics for engineering handoff
• Backlog grooming & sprint planning — writing and prioritizing tickets, estimating scope with engineering
• Product/design/research documentation — maintaining decision logs and research repositories so knowledge supports entire teams
• Accessibility & QA review — checking designs and built product against accessibility standards
• AI orchestration & prompting fluency — directing AI tools effectively across design, spec, and analysis work
• Data-informed strategy — interpreting quantitative and qualitative data, such as product analytics and clinical outcomes, to inform product strategy and build
• Facilitation — running workshops, critiques, and cross-functional working sessions in service of decisionmaking and alignment
• Engineering/technical literacy — enough fluency to reason about feasibility and scope trade-offs in partnership with Eng and Ops

Desirable

• A Product + Design Strategist can carry a problem from an ambiguous user and business opportunity to a validated experience. As a Product + Design Strategist, you will operate at a senior IC level: leading the highest-leverage, most ambiguous scopes of work at Omada and setting direction for a collection of related experiences rather than a single feature. You translate engineering’s increased pace into more of the right experiences launched for our customers and members, not just more output
• AI is a core part of how this role works day to day as a co-intelligent partner you direct across research synthesis, prototyping, spec drafting, and analysis, extending your judgment so you can move from open question to validated direction faster, with more rigor
• You thrive in ambiguity, especially in 0 to 1 spaces where the problem is not yet defined and the path forward is yours to shape. You bring a strong, evidence-backed point of view, initiative and ability to find answers, and you're as comfortable in an executive strategy conversation as you are prototyping with users
• A Product + Design Strategist owns four things — problem framing, direction setting, vision casting, and alignment. Everything else is craft in service of these
• Problem framing — turning ambiguous asks, business opportunities, and lived member experience into a scoped, evidence-backed understanding of what's actually wrong and worth solving
• Problem framing & requirements — turning a vague ask into a scoped, buildable piece of work
• User journey mapping — diagnosing end-to-end friction and drop-off with empathy
• Research study design & execution — running interviews, surveys, and experiments to test assumptions
• Data analysis (quant + qual) — pulling product performance data and synthesizing qualitative signal into a clear read of the problem
• Competitive, inspiration, & analogous research — auditing adjacent products for pattern or gap insight
• Metrics instrumentation — in partnership with data analytics, defining upfront what “solved” will actually look like
• Direction setting — reconciling research, data, engineering, and business input into a clear point of view on what to pursue, and revisiting that call against real evidence once it's live
• Synthesis & direction-setting — recommending which directions to pursue and which to drop
• Prioritization & trade-offs — arbitrating competing product and stakeholder requests with transparent rationale
• Quantitative and qualitative evaluation design & analysis — defining core questions and hypotheses, then translating results into insights and go/no-go decisions
• Stop/start/continue investment decisions — revisiting prior bets against evidence of what's actually working
• Vendor & partner evaluations — build vs. buy justifications
• Vision casting — making the future state tangible and compelling enough that cross-functional partners, leadership, and members can see it and support it
• Roadmap ownership & narrative — owning a multi-quarter roadmap that maps to corporate OKRs, key strategic initiatives, operational cadences, and commercial cycles
• Executive communications & narratives — building the strategic story for budget and prioritization conversations
• Product marketing & commercial partnerships — carrying the vision into go-to-market and partner contexts
• Visual & interaction design — makes the vision tangible enough to inform viability, desirability, and feasibility decisions, and to support build and operational planning. Brings strong product taste, and can articulate what makes a health experience good in both strategic and tangible terms
• Prototyping — building click-through and interactive prototypes to test and communicate ideas
• Alignment — keeping every function that touches the work — engineering, clinical, ops, leadership — moving on the same understanding of what's being built and why
• Stakeholder syncs & demos — running team meetings, reviews, and critiques that keep work visible
• Cross-functional handoff — prepping documents and prototypes that give build and operations teams clarity
• Clinical, legal, and regulatory partnerships — integrating guidance on safety, quality, and compliance throughout
• Launch & release readiness — owning the go/no-go call and sequencing logic for a release, in partnership with Product Ops, who runs the operational checklist and cross-team chase
• Stakeholder alignment on product priorities and vision — resolving cross-functional disagreement directly
• To protect focus, Product + Design Strategists are not expected to own all day-to-day project coordination and status reporting (Product Ops and automated tooling own the checklist and cross-team chase once you've made the go/no-go call), detailed design of every screen and flow (owned by UX Design and Engineering, enabled by design-system-aware prototyping and coding tools), high-volume or specialized content production (owned by the content platform team), or administrative backlog upkeep (AI-assisted or Eng-owned)
• Formal people management of other Strategists sits with Product + Design Directors; Strategists at this level lead through influence, craft, and mentorship rather than direct reports
