Product Lead

AC Lion Digital Executive Search, New York, NY, United States


High-Growth HealthTech Startup | Product Lead | NYC (Hybrid)

Our client is building the operational system of record for frontline hospital leaders - and they have the traction to prove it. With $7M+ in contracted value, 90%+ daily utilization sustained for over a year, and clinical outcomes that move the needle (including a 26% reduction in patient falls), this is a company with real product-market fit and a Series A on the way this summer.

*If you want to build something that matters - in a space where the stakes are real - keep reading.*

WHY THIS COMPANY This team is lean, technical, and moving fast. No layers. No politics. Decisions happen in hours. They're not optimizing an existing category - they're creating one, digitizing the daily workflows that keep hospitals running and layering AI on top in ways that health system executives can tie directly to clinical and financial outcomes. The equity opportunity at this stage is the kind that disappears once the round closes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO As their first dedicated Product Lead, you'll own the customer-to-product loop - sitting at the intersection of customer insight, product management, and engineering execution. You'll lead conversations with health system executives, translate what you hear into shipped product (fast), and build prototypes yourself. Expect to work directly alongside the founding team with zero bureaucracy between you and the decisions that matter.

WHO YOU ARE

A Senior or Founding PM with experience at an early-stage vertical SaaS company

A hands-on builder - you prototype with AI‑assisted tools yourself, not just spec for others

Comfortable leading product conversations with C‑suite healthcare executives

Energized by ambiguity - you've shipped in pre‑ or early post‑PMF environments where the problem isn't fully defined yet and are experienced solving for customer pain points based on feedback data

NYC-based or relocating: in‑office Tue–Thu for collaboration, no exceptions

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Pre‑Series A equity: meaningful early‑stage equity in a company with a clear path to $100M+ ARR. This window closes when the round closes.

Founding‑team proximity: direct access to both co‑founders with zero bureaucracy between you and the decisions that matter.

Competitive NYC base salary: details discussed directly during the process.

The right kind of hard: you'll shape product that scales across the largest health systems in the country. This is consequential work.

Comp: $150k - $200k commensurate with experience
