About The Position

Alignment Health is breaking the mold in conventional health care, committed to serving seniors and those who need it most: the chronically ill and frail. It takes an entire team of passionate and caring people, united in our mission to put the senior first. We have built a team of talented and experienced people who are passionate about transforming the lives of the seniors we serve.

You'll directly own and over time, build a team of product professionals while maintaining close operational involvement in alignment with business and engineering teams, solutions strategy, roadmaps, and critical product decisions.
