VP OF PRODUCT

ABOUT BEDROCK TALENT

At Bedrock Talent, we’re intentional about the companies we represent. We partner with founders and teams solving meaningful problems and building businesses we genuinely believe have the potential to make a lasting impact.

This is one of those companies.

- Own discovery, scoping, prioritization, acceptance, launch, and adoption for the product areas you lead.

- Run recurring working sessions with customer teams across coding, quality, care management, analytics, and practice performance.

- Identify what customers are truly trying to accomplish—not simply what they initially request.

- Determine whether a customer need can be addressed through an existing configurable capability, requires refinement, or warrants a new product build.

- Ensure new capabilities are designed to serve multiple customers rather than becoming one-off custom solutions.

- Translate every customer commitment into a clearly scoped ticket with an owner and current status.

- Return to customers for additional context when requirements are unclear so engineers receive work that is ready to build.

- Establish engineering priorities for your product areas in close consultation with the CEO.

- Use AI tools to prototype ideas and test them with customers before committing significant engineering resources.

- Track product usage and adoption, then improve or retire features that are not delivering value.

- Support the sales process by scoping solutions, leading product demonstrations, and incorporating prospective customer feedback into the product strategy.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AFTER SIX MONTHS

- The CEO is no longer the default product manager for the areas you own.

- Every customer commitment within your product areas maps to a clearly scoped ticket with an owner and current status.

- Most customer requests are translated into capabilities that can serve more than one organization.

- Engineers receive clear, prioritized, and thoroughly scoped work.

- Product decisions are informed by customer discovery, usage data, and measurable adoption.

- You have approximately 8–10 years of product experience, including ownership of an enterprise product area from strategy through launch and adoption.

- You have taken at least one meaningful product from concept to market.

- You have experience with government-sponsored healthcare programs such as Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, MSSP, ACO REACH, Stars, or risk adjustment from the payer or provider side.

- You do not need to have spent your entire career in value-based care, but you understand the stakeholders, incentives, and operational complexity involved.

- You have successfully translated numerous customer-specific requests into a scalable product that serves a broader market.

- You can lead working sessions with operators, analysts, clinicians, and executives.

- You can redirect a customer toward a stronger solution—even when it differs from what they initially requested—without damaging the relationship.

- You can engage deeply with engineers on data models, technical tradeoffs, and product architecture, although you do not need to have been an engineer.

- You already use AI tools for prototyping, analysis, and writing.

- You can read SQL and work directly with data.

- You have experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup, ideally between the seed and Series B stages.

- You are comfortable partnering closely with a highly involved, product-oriented founder.

THIS PROBABLY ISN’T THE RIGHT ROLE IF

- Your best work depends on a fixed annual roadmap and traditional quarterly planning cycles.

- Your primary product responsibility has been managing sprint ceremonies or maintaining a ticket board.

- You want to define the product vision independently of a hands-on founder.

- Your experience is primarily in value-based care operations and you have not yet owned a software product.

- You prefer established structures over fast iteration, ambiguity, and hands-on problem-solving.

- Become the company’s first dedicated product leader, reporting directly to the CEO.

- Build toward ownership of the full product organization and the opportunity to grow a team.

- Join an experienced healthcare leadership team with deep knowledge of value-based care and early-stage company building.

- Work within an AI-first environment where new ideas can be prototyped and tested in days.

- Help transform complex healthcare data into products that meaningfully improve how care organizations operate.

- Shape a platform that has already demonstrated meaningful customer and patient impact.

- Base salary of $200,000–$225,000

- Meaningful early-employee equity with a four-year vesting schedule and one-year cliff

- Medical, dental, and vision coverage

- 401(k)

- Additional benefits and paid time off
