About The Position

Sunfish is a fast-growing, venture-backed Series A health tech startup. Our mission is to make the parenthood journey easy and affordable to help everyone build the family of their dreams. Used by leading fertility clinics throughout the United States, we help patients navigate and afford treatments. Our company ingests unique patient biodata to support patients using AI/ML. Sunfish’s team is composed of individuals with backgrounds in fertility, health tech, insurtech, and fintech – all with a shared passion for bringing equity to family building. We move fast, care deeply about our clinic partners and patients, and believe that great products start with a deep understanding of the people they serve. As we scale, we are looking for a Lead Product Manager who is equal parts strategist and executor, someone who takes pride in shipping products that measurably improve the lives of families navigating one of their most important journeys. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of clinic and patient experience. Reporting to the VP of Product, you will work closely with Engineering, Design, Operations, and Commercial teams to define what we build, drive it to launch, and iterate relentlessly based on evidence. The ideal candidate thrives in a startup environment: you are comfortable with ambiguity, you hold yourself to a high bar for product quality and customer outcomes, and you bring the strategic depth and executional horsepower to take a product from zero to one. You are someone who doesn't just use AI tools, you think deeply about how AI can change what's possible in the product, the process, and the team. Experience in health tech, fintech, or other regulated industries where trust and transparency are non-negotiable is strongly preferred.
