About The Position

Akido is rebuilding the healthcare experience from the ground up. Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California’s D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers. Join our team as we build tools, like our custom-built EHR, that leverage AI to help clinicians reduce administrative burden, improve decision-making, and focus on what matters most: patient care. As a Junior Product Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting the product development and management of our legacy EHR and custom-built EHR. This is a great opportunity to grow your product management skills by working closely with senior product managers and cross-functional teams. You’ll gain experience in product discovery, delivery, and iteration in a mission-driven healthcare environment. This role reports to a Senior or Staff Product Manager.
