Head of Product & Operations, Fella Health

• Experience: you have 5+ years relevant experience in a high-calibre product/ops role or equivalent. You do not need healthcare experience. I have a strong preference for people who understand & enjoy the scary speed of a high-growth startup
• Automation: you’re obsessed with automation. You automate everything. Your friends tease you about it but you don’t care — that’s just who you are :)
• Metrics: you’re maniacal about your metrics. You closely monitor Activation, Satisfaction, & Retention metrics to quantify and help prioritize your work
• Trenches: you don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty in the trenches. You’re not too pretentious or senior to grind it out when needed — in fact you kinda miss the times when that was more of your day-to-day
• Systems: you think in and build out systems. In solving a problem you recognize the underlying system, then focus on improving the system itself to fix the true cause of an issue
• Learning: you're an autodidact with impressive speed and resourcefulness. You regularly teach yourself the skills you need from scratch
• Complexity: you're highly organized and can complete multiple projects concurrently
• Mindset: you calmly handle uncertainty and rapidly changing situations

• You just build an amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the client. Give the client massively more value than you take. — a poetic extract from one of our advisors
• Activation: You’ll get fellas their medication within 14 days of signup. You’ll ensure the UX is great from signup to their first dose: intuitive onboarding portal, streamlined medical form, easy labwork options, clarity on insurance coverage, rapid provider prescribing, automated medication ordering, overnight medication fulfillment, clear dosage instructions — all with reassuring communication to fellas. You’ll be obsessed with your activation KPIs
