Full Job Description
We're looking for:

A VP of Product who has done this before - taken a healthcare product from zero and scaled it into something that matters. This is not a role for someone who has optimized an existing product at a large company. We need a builder: someone who has sat with clinical operators, understood their pain, and turned that understanding into product that ships, retains, and grows. You will own the product vision and roadmap across Nitra's AI-native platform, work hand-in-hand with a distributed engineering and design team, and set the standard for how great product gets built here.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Owning Nitra's product vision, strategy, and roadmap across all verticals - Finance, Procurement, Patient Management, AI HR, and Marketplace
  • Leading and developing a team of product managers, setting a high bar for product thinking, execution, and customer obsession
  • Working closely with co-founders and executive leadership to align product strategy with business priorities and fundraising milestones
  • Partnering daily with a distributed engineering and product design team - comfortable leading cross-timezone collaboration and maintaining high output across a global team
  • Driving discovery and validation with healthcare customers - clinics, practice administrators, and clinical operators - to ensure the product reflects real workflow needs
  • Defining and owning key product metrics including activation, retention, NRR, and feature adoption across the platform
  • Setting the bar for how Nitra ships - sprint processes, PRDs, roadmap communication, and cross-functional alignment with Sales, Marketing, and Operations
  • Translating AI capabilities into product features that are clinically relevant, operationally sound, and commercially differentiated
  • Recruiting and developing product management talent as the organization scales


You have:

  • Experience scaling a product from scratch at a VC-backed health tech company - this is a hard requirement. You have built something in healthcare that did not exist before you arrived
  • Deep health tech domain knowledge - you understand how clinics, practices, or health systems operate, how they buy, and what makes them stay
  • Demonstrated experience at a high-growth company pre-Series C, where you operated without a full playbook and built one yourself
  • Proven track record of managing and developing a product team, with the ability to hire, coach, and hold a high bar
  • Comfort and experience working with overseas engineering and design teams - you know how to maintain product quality and team alignment across time zones and cultures
  • Strong command of the full product development lifecycle, from discovery through delivery and iteration
  • Experience working at the intersection of fintech and healthcare is a strong plus - understanding of payments, financial workflows, or compliance in a clinical setting


We offer:

  • Equity - Everyone at Nitra is an owner. When the company wins, you win.
  • Competitive Salary - You're the best of the best, and your salary will reflect your experience and reward your contributions to Nitra.
  • Nitra maintains a hybrid work policy, with team members working from the office four days per week and Wednesdays designated as a work-from-home day.


Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
