Forward-Deployed Product Manager
About The Position
We're seeking a Forward-Deployed Product Manager who is motivated to fix how behavioral health care is managed, delivered, and paid for in the United States. This is a high-ownership, client-facing role at the intersection of product, account management, and implementation, built for someone who wants to be close to the problem, not just the roadmap. This is also our first product hire, so we’re looking for a strong add to the team who can help set the tone and lead by example. You will own a portfolio of 1-2 health plan customers end-to-end: leading the day-to-day relationship, translating their clinical and operational needs into product direction, and working directly with your pod's engineer to ship. You'll be the person your customers trust, the person engineering relies on for clarity, and an early voice in shaping how Onos builds and delivers at scale. You will report directly to the Chief Product Officer.
Requirements
- 3-7 years of experience in product management and/or consulting
- Strong communicator who can run a client meeting, write a clear spec, and follow up without being chased
- Project management discipline; you track details, hit deadlines, and keep things moving
- Comfortable working with technical teams and translating between business and engineering
- Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity; we're early and the playbook is still being written
- Ability to navigate complex situations across clients
- Passionate about solving healthcare’s biggest challenges
