About Us

Senseye is a NeuroTechnology Company in Austin, TX on the cusp of revolutionizing Mental Health. Over the past 6 years we have invested millions of dollars in R&D to build our platform allowing us to measure cognitive activity via the eye through mobile phones. Through multiple iterations and use cases we are now focused on building the world's first Objective Mental Health Diagnostics on top of our core technology. Our first diagnostic is for PTSD and is entering clinical trials now, followed soon by additional indications for Anxiety and Depression. As the world struggles with a mental health crisis, it is not hyperbolic to suggest that an objective diagnostic platform, that gives clinicians a safe and objective accurate approach to identifying and monitoring mental health disease, will redefine how mental health services are provided and will enable access to treatment for hundreds of millions of sufferers. The Senseye platform has the potential to be the technology that drives this change.

Role Description

Vice President, Product is a cross-functional role that answers complex productization and commercialization questions and works in close coordination with Market Access, Voice of Customer, Engineering/AI, Research and Clinical. Your north star is delivering the Target Product Profile, making the product exactly what it needs to be for clinicians, patients, and payers to adopt it. This is not a role about managing a product team or running sprints. It is about defining what the product must become and ensuring the right functions of the company are building toward that.

As we move toward clinical deployment, this person brings user-centered product discipline to that foundation: clinical usability, workflow fit, and a product experience that works in the real world, not just in a study.

This is a Vice President-level role. We are looking for someone who has worked on the product team of a FDA-regulated software medical device and who is ready to deliver one themselves. High motivation and willingness to learn matter as much as experience.

Location

This is a fully on-site role based in Austin, TX. Senseye does not offer hybrid or remote arrangements for this position. We believe proximity matters for the kind of deep collaboration this role demands.

Who You Will Work With

• SVP, Strategy & Operations — your direct manager; primary interface for strategic prioritization and organizational alignment
• Market Access — your closest cross-functional partner; payer coverage is their north star, TPP delivery is yours; you will coordinate closely on label language, indication scope, and evidence needs
• Engineering & AI — the team that builds the product; you translate product requirements into what they work toward; this is a coordination relationship, not a management one
• Clinical & ClinOps — evidence generation and study execution; you coordinate on how clinical evidence requirements and product functionality inform each other; you do not direct these teams
• Quality & Regulatory Affairs — your collaborator on FDA pathway, label language, intended use, and post-market surveillance requirements, making sure User Needs are built into the plan upfront.

Responsibilities

Target Product Profile

• Define and own the TPP, the authoritative document describing what Senseye’s product must do, for whom, under what conditions, and to what standard. Make and communicate adjustments as needs develop over time to ensure all stakeholders are aligned.
• Ensure product attributes address the needs of clinicians, patients, and payers- these are not always the same requirements, and the TPP must account for all three
• Ensure product positioning aligns with emerging society guidelines and KOL needs, in coordination with Market Access

Product Foundation and Clinical Usability

• Own the standard for clinical usability; establish and drive toward what ‘good’ looks like for clinicians and patients actually using it
• Lead UI/UX development: working with the design and engineering teams, define what needs to change and why, grounded in clinical workflow reality and physician input from Voice of Customer
• Translate physician research findings into prioritized, actionable product improvements 
• Build the feedback loop between pilot deployments and product improvements, what you learn at pilot sites feeds directly back into the product roadmap

Product Roadmap and Expansion

• Own the product roadmap and work with the cross-functional team to execute on it 
• Own the app experience and hardware expansion; work with mobile engineers to close usability gaps systematically

Form Factor, Workflow, and Integration

• Define the product’s fit within clinical workflows across agreed channels and sites of care: primary care, behavioral health, VA/DoD, telehealth
• Lead investigative work on clinical integrations, defining what we integrate into, who it serves, and what it should look like; you own the strategic and functional requirements, not the engineering implementation

Requirements

• Direct experience working on a FDA-regulated software medical device, preferably one that you helped bring to market.
• Diagnostics, digital health, or software as a medical device background.
• 8–10 years of product experience, very comfortable working in a very agile environment.
• Deep understanding of the TPP framework and what it means to define a product for simultaneous clinical, regulatory, and commercial use
• Able to work credibly and collaboratively alongside AI engineers, clinical scientists, regulatory specialists, and market access strategists
• User-centered product instincts; you understand that scientific validity and clinical usability are both important but different problems, and you know how to close the gap between them
• Motivated to learn and help to define product direction; able, willing, and excited to take what you know and apply it in new ways and take on challenges that require flexibility in thinking.
• Comfortable in a 20-person company where Vice PresidentProduct means you are also doing the work

Benefits

• The freedom and trust to define your role as we design, build, and ship our products
• Competitive salary and stock option plan
• Flexible paid time off (vacation, sick leave, and public holidays)
• Flexible schedules
• Company health care plan
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Short and long term disability insurance
• Life insurance policy
• 401k
• Commuter benefits for parking, public transit, carshares, etc.
• Mothers' room
• Fully stocked kitchen
• Opportunities for continuing education
