Director of Product
Courier Health is on a mission to solve one of the biggest and most meaningful opportunities in healthcare: reinvent how people living with chronic and rare diseases are supported. We build the future of patient engagement for life sciences companies, enabling biopharma to support patients through their complex journey from diagnosis to initiating and remaining on therapy for optimal health outcomes. We're an NYC-based, office-first team (4 days/week in person) that believes culture, craft, and customer obsession go hand in hand.
The Opportunity
Courier Health is at an inflection point. We exist to get patients faster, better access to life-saving therapies, and product helps shape decisions about which patients we reach next and how soon. As Director of Product, you will lead a team of product managers covering the full platform, reporting directly to the CEO. You will also keep a hand in the work — running discovery, writing specs, making the call on the bets that matter most. The roadmap is not handed down; you will decide what we build, in what order, and what we deliberately don't do, in a market where the right answer is rarely obvious and the stakes are patients starting therapy. If you have led product teams inside someone else's operating model and want to define your own, this is the seat.
What You'll Build
- A product team that makes its own calls: coach to a standard in weekly one-on-ones and roadmap reviews, raise the bar on writing and discovery, and give PMs enough room to be wrong and get better — the goal is a team that can size a bet and defend it without you in the room.
- A roadmap the whole company can bet on: sales, implementation, and engineering all plan against what product says is coming. Set sequencing across a growing customer base, make tradeoffs between what one strategic client needs and what the platform needs, and say no clearly enough that people trust the yes. Commitments hold, and when they change, everyone knows why in time to act.
- Discovery grounded in how patients actually get to therapy: our users run patient support programs, field teams, and hub operations. Get your team in front of them, translate what you hear into product, and build the customer and market fluency that makes our roadmap hard to copy. Strong opinions are welcome; strong opinions without customer contact are not.
What Makes You Successful
- 10+ years in product management at a B2B software company, with a track record of shipping products enterprise customers renewed and expanded.
- 5+ years managing product managers — you have hired, coached, and given hard feedback that made someone better.
- Proven ownership of a roadmap end-to-end: from customer discovery and strategy through launch and measured outcomes, not just execution against someone else's plan.
- Strong technical fluency: you can work through data models, API integrations, and architectural tradeoffs with engineers and hold your own. Coding is not required; depth is.
- Excellent judgment under ambiguity: make a call with incomplete information, explain the reasoning, and change course without drama when the evidence shifts.
- Exceptional written communication: you think in documents, and your specs make the decision obvious.
- Comfortable working directly with senior customer stakeholders, including the conversations nobody wants to have.
- Experience building process where none existed, and the restraint to keep it minimal.

- Built products on top of complex data integrations or healthcare interoperability standards.
- Shipped LLM-powered features that customers actually use.
