Job summary

Fabulous is a fully remote health, wellness, and coaching company building apps and hardware to help people live healthier lives. We seek a hands‑on leader to own two flagship programs: a wearable hardware line via white‑label/ODM and a biomarker testing service with lab partnerships.

You’ll drive strategy, vendor ecosystems, regulatory work, and end‑to‑end development from concept to pilot and scale. You’ll coordinate cross‑functional teams across hardware, firmware, app, data, and clinical

Qualifications

• Have taken a device from white-label/ODM to mass production, or led first-of-kind health hardware programs.
• Are a decisive operator who loves prototype → test → learn → scale.
• Communicate crisply with execs, vendors, and engineers—and you sweat the details.
• Experience with EU + US markets; French and English proficiency.
• Network in Shenzhen/Guangdong ODMs and EU lab ecosystems (Cerba, Synlab, Unilabs).
• Prior startup founding/operator experience; ability to build a small A-team.

Responsibilities

• Own strategy, roadmap, and execution for both programs.
• Build the business case: pricing, COGS, BOM, margins, logistics, and unit economics. Present make/buy transitions and scale plans.
• Ship pilots (500–2,000 users), then scale. Define success metrics and run iterative experiments to hit them.
• Coordinate cross‑functional teams (product, design, data, growth, legal, finance, support). Recruit and manage external specialists (HW, firmware, regulatory, quality, clinical advisors).
• Lead regulatory & compliance paths; establish privacy/security controls and consent flows.
• Translate raw biosignals and labs into simple, delightful user experiences and coaching loops that drive retention and health outcomes.
• Lead the end‑to‑end launch of a Fabulous ‑branded wearable (ring/band/patch — form factor TBD) via white‑label/ODM, proving product‑market fit, then architect the path to bespoke design and manufacturing.
• Own the partner landscape: scout, evaluate, negotiate, and manage ODM/OEMs, component vendors, and fulfillment partners (EU/US compliance).
• Define requirements and roadmap across hardware, firmware, BLE connectivity, app integration, data pipelines, security, and regulatory (CE/FCC; EU MDR classification assessment for wellness vs medical claims).
• Deliver pilot(s), manage QA/RMA, set acceptance criteria, and drive cost/quality at scale.
• Stand up a biomarker testing service integrated with Fabulous: panel design, lab partnerships, logistics, reporting, and longitudinal coaching.
• Select and contract with accredited labs (EU first; US optional) and a phlebotomy/collection network (in‑clinic or at‑home kits). Integrate with LIMS and ensure GDPR/HIPAA‑grade data governance.
• Define the initial panel with a clinical doctor, reference ranges, retest cadence, and action‑oriented insights.
• 30 / 60 / 90‑Day Outcomes: landscape map; biomarkers plan; program KPIs; pilot criteria; LOIs/MOUs; budgets and risk register; pilot live with users; board‑level go/no‑go.
