Product Manager, Patient Experience

The posting, as Helix wrote it

Who We Are & What We Do

At Helix, our mission is simple: to help everyone improve their lives through their DNA.

Ready to make a real-world impact with your skills? At Helix, we're transforming healthcare by making genomics a standard of care. We partner with health systems and life science companies to accelerate the integration of genomic data into clinical practice. Join us in building a future where healthcare is personalized, proactive, and powered by genomics.

What Is Special About This Role?

The patients you are onboarding are not just users — they are research participants whose genomic data will shape the standard of care. As the Product Manager for the Helix patient experience, you will own the end-to-end product for enrolling patients into our research study platform, which powers health system partnerships across the country. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of patient experience, regulatory rigor, and healthcare technology — and you will need to champion the patient while navigating health system complexity.

You will bring clarity and conviction to a cross-functional team operating in an AI-native environment. That means you will spend less time managing timelines and more time on high-judgment problem definition, rapid experimentation, and strategic orchestration. You will define the Why and the What with precision, and use AI as a force multiplier to reach validated solutions faster than was previously possible.

Product Discovery and Rapid Validation

• Orchestrate AI tools and agents to synthesize market context, analyze competitive landscapes, and evaluate solution approaches in hours and days rather than weeks.
• Direct the idea-to-prototype cycle with urgency, ensuring solutions are user-tested quickly and roadmap pivots are evidence-based.
• Own the validation process: analyze stakeholder feedback and behavioral data to make immediate, informed decisions about product direction.

Roadmap and Strategic Prioritization

• Own and maintain a living roadmap — updated as evidence shifts, not on a quarterly calendar — and make high-stakes tradeoff decisions including what not to build when technical cost is low but cognitive cost to the user is high.
• Ensure the health of the Helix Hosted Consent product, including data privacy, security, and governance considerations within a regulated healthcare context.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with design, engineering, delivery, research operations, clinical, r
