Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager

San Mateo, CA

Mendaera is developing technology that will enable all healthcare providers to do more for their patients. Our platform combines real-time imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence to make precise and consistent intervention more accessible. Our aim is to eliminate barriers in the patient journey, accelerate recovery, delight customers, and reduce cost of care.

At Mendaera, we aim to build collaborative AI and robotics in healthcare to ensure that the right procedures can be performed by the right providers, in the right places, for the right patients. We believe access to care can be radically expanded via technology. We are a team of contrarians, building a first-of-its-kind healthcare technology platform, designed to bring world-class interventional capability to the front lines of care. By fusing robotics, real-time imaging, and AI, we aim to remove friction from the patient journey that all-too-often leads to inconsistent, imprecise, or outright unavailable care. We intend to change the way minimally invasive healthcare is delivered.

This is a bold ambition. If it resonates with you, continue below.

As a Senior Product Manager, you are expected to help drive the strategic direction for our pipeline offerings, and usher high-impact solutions from inception to commercial reality. This is a role for a technically-adept individual who thrives on solving the "impossible" through structured product thinking. You will spend your days at the intersection of the procedure room and the engineering lab. Your mission will be to help ensure our platform is capable, delightful, and accessible, in service of creating lasting value for every stakeholder in our ecosystem.

• You are a builder who views ambiguity as a blank canvas rather than a roadblock.
• You thrive in the high-velocity world of a startup.
• You have an ability to "zoom out" to design high-level strategic frameworks and "zoom in" to ensure every detail is flawless.
• You are a systems thinker by nature, and can build world-class work products from the ground up.
• You are a proactive problem-solver who obsesses over the "why" as much as the "how".

Immerse yourself in the clinical context in which we operate, via conducting market analysis, customer and stakeholder interviews, ethnographic studies, and user testing

Develop deep clinical understanding of the clinical environments and procedures in which our platform is being used today – and will be used tomorrow

Become an expert on the product, allowing you to help define and refine the product roadmap, including effective upstream needs-finding, value proposition refinement, and feature set prioritization

Partner with commercial and engineering teams to translate user and business requirements into technical specifications, and managing trade offs during development

Define and track success metrics across entire product development lifecycle

• You have 2 to 5+ years of Product Management experience or similar, ideally spent in the trenches with healthcare providers. If you've navigated the complexities of AI, robotics, medical imaging, or sophisticated software, you're already speaking our language.
• You have a proven track record of collaborating with engineers and customers, translating high-level objectives into concrete technical realities.
• High-EQ Leadership: You possess the emotional intelligence to build trust across diverse teams, from surgeons in the field to developers at HQ. You actively catalyze relationships and build rapport easily.
• Strategic Autonomy: You are self-motivated and independent, with a sharp analytical mind that can dissect market data as easily as it can refine a value proposition.
• Articulate Storyteller: Your written and verbal communication is top-tier. You can command a room during a presentation and simplify the complex in cloud-based collaboration tools.
• Startup Versatility: You thrive in a small-team environment where no task is too big or too small. You're agile, adaptable, and ready to wear multiple hats.

This is a hybrid role, but because we build physical technology (robotics and hardware), a substantial on-site presence at Mendaera HQ is required to stay close to the innovation.

You should be ready to travel for user engagements, ensuring our products are tested and validated in the real-world environments where they matter most.

Compensation: The annual salary range for this role is $160,000 - $210,000.
