Head of Product

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 there.

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Develop a deep understanding of Novellia's users, market, and current product across both our healthcare and consumer surfaces
• Absorb and sharpen the product strategy with the founding team, building on what exists and making it something the whole company can rally behind
• Have a clear point of view on the product org Novellia needs to win, and be actively building toward it: hiring ahead of the need, developing the team you have, and thinking about structure before it becomes a problem
• Evolve the ways of working across product and design so the team ships with rigor and speed as it grows
• Ship something meaningful: a bet you own from framing through delivery that moves a real outcome
• Become a trusted thought partner to the CTO, CEO, and Commercial team on where the product goes next

Responsibilities

Product Strategy

• Work with the founders to define and pressure-test where Novellia wins, across healthcare and consumer
• Translate strategy into a roadmap with clear priorities and the reasoning behind them
• Make the hard calls on what not to build, and more importantly, what to give up on when it's not working
• Represent product in board conversations, partner discussions, and recruiting

Product & Design Execution

• Own the full product development process from discovery through delivery
• Set a high bar for product quality and design craft. You don't need to hold a Figma file, but you need taste and conviction
• Partner closely with Engineering to ship reliably without losing speed
• Maintain direct contact with users and customers. This is not a role that delegates learning

Team Building

• Hire, develop, and retain a world-class product and design team as we scale
• Build a culture of rigor, craft, and genuine accountability to outcomes, not output
• Develop the people around you; create an environment where strong PMs and designers do their best work
