About the role

Original posting from Atomic via Ashby

We are looking for a Founding Product Lead to serve as the first operator for a new healthcare venture.

This role sits at the center of product discovery, health system relationships, and early business formation. You will be on the ground inside a major academic health system, building trust with executives and operators, while working closely with Atomic and a technical founding team to identify which problems are worth turning into scalable businesses.

The initial product is a novel hardware detection suite to capture clinical events occurring in critical care locations of the hospital to augment back-office tasks and support patient safety. This is a true 0-1 for someone who combines strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to operate credibly across healthcare, data, and early stage company building.

WHAT YOU’LL DO…

  • Act as the founding operator for a new healthcare company from concept through early validation and launch.
  • Build deep, trusted relationships inside a large academic health system, working directly with hospital administrators and senior executives.
  • Serve as the primary bridge between health system stakeholders, Atomic, and the engineering and data teams, taking on much of the day-to-day relationship building and coordination efforts.
  • Work closely with technical partners to explore and analyze claims and operational data, observe workflows, and identify high-leverage problems worth solving.
  • Support early go-to-market efforts, including piloting with the partner health system and shaping a path to selling into additional systems.

WHO YOU ARE…

  • A natural relationship builder who can earn trust with senior hospital leadership while still pushing for progress.
  • A clear and confident communicator, comfortable engaging with CIOs, CFOs, and clinical and operational leaders.
  • A pragmatic operator with strong product and business instincts, even if you are not deeply technical.
  • Comfortable navigating health system bureaucracies, ambiguity, and incomplete information.
  • High ownership, founder energy, and a bias toward action.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING ON DAY 1…

  • Demonstrated success finding product market fit at the 0 to 1 stage. Taking ambiguous problems from exploration to action.
  • Experience operating in or alongside the healthcare ecosystem.
  • Experience working directly with health system leaders, hospital operators, or payer-adjacent workflows.
  • Strong judgment and independence, with comfort making decisions in fast-moving, under-specified environments.

NOT A DEALBREAKER, BUT YOU’LL STAND OUT…

  • Based in the greater Miami area or open to relocation. Ideally working from our offices 2-3 days a week with the CTO and Head of Healthcare.
  • Exposure to healthcare consulting, data-intensive environments, or early-stage health tech companies
  • Worked with cameras/sensors/hardware

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
