Senior Product Manager

ABOUT US Axle Health builds AI scheduling and workforce management software to empower in-home healthcare providers to deliver exceptional, personalized care right where patients feel most comfortable—at home. Some of the biggest providers in the country use our software (like Cityblock Health and U Penn Health System) to improve the utilization of their field teams by 17%+, and automate the operational burden of scheduling and dispatching. Our platform includes proprietary logistics algorithms to optimize scheduling, a mobile app for field staff, an operations dashboard for office teams, engagement and booking tools for patients, and a wide range of integrations and external APIs for modular access. We’re a team of top-tier engineers and operators, backed by $14m from top investors such as Y Combinator, Pear VC, and F-Prime, applying our intellect and logistics experience to upend how home healthcare is delivered. ABOUT YOU Axle Health is building the operating system for home healthcare - scheduling, route optimization, and patient engagement tools that give health systems and home-based care providers the infrastructure to run better, faster, and at greater scale. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own critical product initiatives end-to-end, working closely with engineering and GTM teams to ship features that meaningfully improve how clinicians deliver care and how operations teams run the day-to-day. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to our Head of Product, where you'll have significant autonomy to shape what we build and how. The Senior Product Manager who thrives here isn't waiting for a fully-scoped customer request to land in their lap. You have genuine product taste. You can look at a workflow and see immediately where the friction is, articulate what a great experience should feel like for home healthcare providers , and champion that standard all the way through to launch. You're a true advocate for the customer and the user - someone who leans into the user experience and holds the bar on experience even when it's easier to ship something just good enough. You're equally comfortable digging into the data and riding along with our customers to understand what they actually need. You've shipped B2B vertical SaaS products at early-stage startups and know what it takes to move fast with limited resources, make smart trade-offs without losing sight of the user, and build things people actually want to use.
