Head of Product

The posting, as Novellia wrote it

OUR STORY

Since 2023, our mission has been clear: to be the north star of patient equity.

Every day, we strive to bridge the gaps in healthcare access and outcomes to ensure that every patient, regardless of background or circumstance, receives the care they deserve. As a member of our team, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, working alongside passionate individuals who share your dedication to creating best-in-class, patient-centric products in healthcare. Together, we're revolutionizing the way people understand their health and working with the world's top researchers to accelerate innovation.

ABOUT NOVELLIA

Novellia is the first and only company that lets anyone in the U.S. gain access to nearly a decade of their health data in under 30 seconds — 100% free. All your health records, across every doctor, in one place, always up to date.

We are the only patient-powered real-world data platform delivering comprehensive, patient-authorized longitudinal health insights to accelerate biopharma innovation. Unlike traditional RWD providers who deliver fragmented institutional data, we empower patients to access 20+ years of their health records, then transform these complete health journeys into fit-for-purpose datasets for evidence generation, regulatory submissions, and market access. We are growing 5x year over year, have raised close to $30M in funding, and are backed by tier-1 investors including Spark Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Bling Capital.

Working with the world's top researchers, we turn health insights into life-changing action for millions of people around the world.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a seasoned Head of Product to own and scale this function. This is one of the most important hires we will make as a company.

Novellia operates at the intersection of healthcare and consumer, where patient empowerment meets everyday life. We believe the best products in this space feel less like medical tools and more like things people actually want to use. The early team has been driving product decisions since day one. That's gotten us here. Now we need someone to take us from a great foundation and grow the org that carries us through Series B and beyond. One thing worth knowing: engineering and product have built something genuinely rare here, a tight, trust-based collaboration where technical and product thinking happen together, not in sequence. We care about preserving that as we scale. You are walking into a strong engineering and data team that will move fast and execute hard on the right vision. What we need now is the product org to lead the way.

You will report directly to the CTO and own product and product design end to end: strategy, roadmap, team, and execution. As you build the org, you will be in the work: setting direction, making calls, shipping. The team grows around you. You will sit on the leadership team and be a genuine voice in where this company goes, not just how it gets th

t was still unclear, made bets, got some wrong, and eventually cracked it, and can tell that story with specificity

• Proven ability to grow and lead a product org, not just manage one at scale
• Experience owning product design as well as product management
• Track record hiring and developing strong product managers and designers in early-stage environments
• Strong design sensibility. You set a high bar and know the difference between good and great
• Direct, clear communicator who can operate at the executive level without losing the details
• High ownership mindset. You notice what needs to be done and do it without being asked

BONUS

• Background shipping products in real-world evidence, health data, or biopharma-adjacent contexts
• Familiarity with health data standards and ecosystems: FHIR, CCDA, claims data, EHR/EMR integrations, or similar
• Experience in a data-as-product environment, where the data itself is what you sell and shaping it into something a customer can buy and trust is part of the product work

WHO YOU ARE

• A builder first: energized by 0-to-1 moments, not optimizing what already exists
• Strategic without losing sight of execution. You zoom out and zoom in with equal ease
• Direct and low-ego in collaboration; you give and receive feedback well
• Motivated by hard problems where getting the product right genuinely matters
• Comfortable with ambiguity, changing priorities, and the pace of a fast-growing Series A company
• You bring a point of view on the product, on the market, on what good looks like, and you defend it
• You earn the respect of engineers, not just work alongside them. You understand how things get built and that makes you a better product thinker
• You think about the org as part of the job, not a distraction from it. You're proactive about structure, hiring, and team health before they become problems
• You outwork the problem. When something matters, you stay with it until it's righ
