About The Position

At PicnicHealth, we're building the future of non-interventional clinical research, powered by AI and centered on patients. Our mission is to make it radically easier, faster, and more affordable to perform clinical trials and get better treatments to patients. We're replacing the legacy, services-heavy model with a modern, AI-first approach that unlocks insights from rich, multi-modal data—from clinical notes and imaging to lab results—at scale.  By engaging patients directly through our personal health assistant, PicnicAI, which meets them where they're at and delights them along the way (with an industry leading NPS of 76), patients participate actively in the research they care about. PicnicHealth is already a trusted partner to 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies. Our work spans 40+ disease areas and has supported over 60 peer-reviewed publications, including an FDA submission that incorporates PicnicHealth data. Founded in 2014, we've raised $100M+ from top investors like Amplify Partners, Felicis Ventures, B Capital Group, and Y Combinator. Our business more than doubled last year, and we're on track to do it again in 2025. We're a team of doctors, patients, data nerds, engineers, and builders, reimagining how clinical research works — and we're just getting started! The Opportunity At PicnicHealth, we're scaling our AI-powered clinical research platform that's transforming how pharmaceutical companies conduct non-interventional studies. As we've more than doubled our business and prepared for continued growth, we need world-class product analytics to ensure we're building the right features, optimizing user experiences, and maintaining sustainable unit economics. We're looking for a Product Analytics Lead to establish and lead a new function. This is a true player-coach role where you'll serve as the dedicated Product Analyst for one of our three  product modules - our core platform for executing clinical studies for pharma clients - while also leading a team of 2-3 Product Analysts supporting our other key products (Engage, our patient-facing experience, and Capture, our data processing engine). You'll report to the CTO and work closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Finance teams to ensure we have a metrics-driven approach to product development across all products and can accurately model the costs and ROI of our product investments.  AI is at the core of everything we do. We're looking for individuals who are not just comfortable with, but genuinely excited by and actively experimenting with, the power and potential of AI.
