The Opportunity 🚀
Carrot is seeking a Lead, Product Management to help shape and scale one of our core product areas as Carrot's platform continues to grow. In this role, you'll operate as a strategic driver within the Product organization — owning a significant portion of the product roadmap, setting direction for cross-functional initiatives, and raising the bar for product craft across the team.
This is a highly visible, high-impact role for someone who has already demonstrated strong product judgment and is ready to take on greater scope: shaping strategy, mentoring other product managers, and partnering directly with senior leadership on the initiatives that matter most to our members and business.
If you're energized by solving ambiguous, high-stakes problems and want to help define how Carrot builds products at scale, this role is for you!
What You’ll Own 💼
In this role, you will:
- Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for a key product area, translating company priorities into a clear, prioritized plan of execution
- Lead cross-functional initiatives, aligning Engineering, UX, Clinical, Legal, and Commercial partners around a shared vision and set of goals
- Serve as a thought partner and informal mentor to other Product Managers, helping raise the bar on product process, discovery, and craft across the team
- Make and communicate high-judgment prioritization decisions, balancing member experience, business impact, and technical feasibility
- Partner directly with senior product and cross-functional leadership to shape quarterly and annual product strategy
- Identify and address systemic gaps in process, tooling, or team practices that limit the Product team's effectiveness
- Represent the Product team in executive and cross-functional forums, clearly communicating strategy, trade-offs, and outcomes
What Success Looks Like 📈
In your first 12–18 months, you will have:
- Delivered a body of work that measurably improved member outcomes, engagement, or business performance within your product area
- Built trusted, effective working relationships with cross-functional leaders across Engineering, UX, Clinical, Legal, and Commercial/Customer Success
- Established yourself as a go-to product thought leader, with other PMs seeking out your input on strategy and process
- Shaped or improved a core product process (discovery, roadmapping, prioritization) that is now used more broadly across the team
- Successfully led at least one significant, ambiguous, cross-functional initiative from concept through launch
About You ✨
You likely have:
- 5+ years of product management experience, including time at a fast-growing technology company; healthcare or digital health experience is a plus
- A track record of owning complex, cross-functional product initiatives from strategy through execution
- Strong product sense and the ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints in your decision-making
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and align both peers and senior leadership
- Experience mentoring or informally guiding less-experienced product managers
Nice to Have ⭐
While not required, we would be especially excited if you bring:
- Experience in fertility, family-building, or broader digital health benefits
- Experience partnering with Clinical or Legal teams on regulated or compliance-sensitive products
- Familiarity with AI-enabled product features or workflows
- Experience operating in a fully distributed, remote-first organization
