We are Ahead Health
Healthcare is broken. It's reactive, fragmented, and increasingly expensive. While we have more health data than ever before, we're not using it effectively to prevent disease and optimize wellbeing.
That's why we started Ahead Health. We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how people understand and manage their health, shifting from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. By combining cutting-edge technology with medical expertise, we help people take control of their health journey before problems arise.
The product vision: personal concierge medical care, for everyone. Three key components: (1) A data vault with the most up-to-date picture of your health, (2) a trusted single-point-of-care, and (3) the most extensive, helpful dashboard. More info in our pitch deck.
We're excited to build Europe's leading preventative health platform, starting in Switzerland.
We’re backed by founders and execs from Hugging Face, Cradle, Google, DeepMind, Oviva, Stanford Medicine, GE, Philips, and Coda.
DEINE ROLLE
Von Grund auf mitgestalten
Grow at the speed of trust
Ship fast, learn fast, grow fast — but always with a 7-star experience in mind.
Your role
The wealthy have always enjoyed better, more personalized healthcare. AI allows us to bring this to the rest of us. We're building Europe's leading prevention platform.
As our Founding Product Manager, you own what we build and why. Not a process manager. Not a ticket-writer. A decision-maker with taste, speed, and conviction.
Today, product decisions are split across founders. That's worked, but it doesn't scale. We need someone to unify the product experience, accelerate our shipping velocity, and free up cycles to focus on medical strategy, expansion, recruitment, and partnerships.
You'll work directly with 4 senior engineers, a product designer, and our medical team. (Check out our profiles on LinkedIn.) No layers. No BS. High trust, high expectations.
And as we're building a medical-grade, data-heavy product, you’re just as AI-native as our platform.
If this is a mission that feels comfortably uncomfortable, we'd love to chat.
Your responsibilities
Own the entire platform. Booking flow, health app, clinician interface, onboarding — one coherent experience.
Make decisions fast. Know when it's a one-way door vs. two-way door. Default to action.
Spec light, ship fast. Prototypes and a spec.md that senior engineers can run with — not 30-page PRDs.
Obsess over details. Spot the biomarker that should be clickable. Kill the feature that's a dead-end.
Talk to users. Almost daily. You're secretly a UX researcher.
Build the roadmap. Now / next / future that the whole team understands and believes in.
Think AI-first. For our members, platform, products, and for your own workflow — where can AI make this better?
Need to have
6+ years in product roles. Shipped consumer products where craft was a differentiator.
Technical fluency. Former engineer, has (product) managed A+ engineers and earned their respect. Codes weekly with AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude).
Decision velocity. "Here's what I think we should do" not "what does everyone think?"
Taste. Strong opinions on what "good" looks like. Obsessive about the little-big details.
Health obsession. You already care about preventive health — tracks biomarkers, has opinions on zone 2 cardio, or has a personal reason this mission matters.
AI-native. Demonstrated proof: shipped code or prototypes using AI tooling.
Nice to have
Experience at a high-growth startup or Big Tech product org
Healthcare or health-tech background
German language skills
