  • Anticipate, track, and manage risks and issues, driving timely resolutions and surfacing blockers proactively
  • Lead programs through change and ambiguity, ensuring teams remain aligned and focused on outcomes
  • Provide operational support and insights for strategic initiatives such as product launches, market expansion, and other high-impact company programs

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 1-2 years of professional experience in operations, product, or project/program management

  • Familiarity with project management tools and frameworks
  • Passion for health, human performance, and WHOOP’s mission
  • Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions
