Founding Product Manager

Lyv Health•New York, NY

3d•$150,000 - $175,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Lyv is building a platform that enables wellness providers to offer clinical services they currently can't provide on their own, such as blood testing, prescriptions, and peptides, supervised by a clinical team. Lyv is a seed-stage company backed by top venture capital firms, founded by Harvard Business School MBAs with prior experience in technology and clinical operations. The company is experiencing rapid growth and is seeking a Founding Product Manager with strong technical skills and AI fluency to drive product execution. This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the founders, shape the product vision and roadmap, and accelerate career growth within a fast-paced startup environment. The position requires technical depth, AI fluency, customer interaction, and the ability to execute against a clear vision.

Requirements

3-5 years of product management experience at a high-growth startup, ideally tech, B2B SaaS or healthtech
AI-native. You use AI tools daily, you've experimented with the major models, you know what they're good at and where they break. You don't see AI as a buzzword, you see it as leverage.
Technical background required. CS degree, prior engineering experience, or equivalent technical depth. You can read code, understand system design, and scope engineering work accurately.
Comfortable in technical conversations. You can debate architecture trade-offs with engineers and push back when something is over- or under-scoped.
Execution-focused. You're energized by shipping, not by debating strategy in the abstract.
Entrepreneurial. You spot opportunities, scope solutions, and drive things to completion without being told.
Fast and pragmatic. Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, shipping MVPs, and iterating.
Strong communicator. You can translate between engineering, design, and business stakeholders cleanly.
Comfortable with ambiguity. Early-stage means priorities shift and you'll be building the process while running it.

Nice To Haves

Healthcare or wellness experience is a plus but not required.
