Description du poste

We’re looking for a founding owner to lead two strategic initiatives: Project 1 — Wearables and Project 2 — Blood Markers Program.

Project 1 — Wearables

• Lead the end-to-end launch of a wearable device 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.

Project 2 — Blood Markers Program

• 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.

What You'll Do

• 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 real things: 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.

30/60/90-Day Outcomes

• Landscape map: shortlisted ODM/white-label candidates (pros/cons, sample lead times, MOQ, unit economics).
• Biomarkers plan: proposed initial panel, target labs, logistics options, draft legal/compliance checklist.
• Program KPIs and pilot success criteria defined.
• Wearables: samples in-hand with pass/fail criteria; firmware + app integration plan; pilot protocol ready.
• Biomarkers: LOIs/MOUs with labs; draft reports, UI mockups, and LIMS integration spec.
• Budgets, timelines, and risk register in place.
• Wearables: pilot live (≥500 users), with activation/retention dashboards and RMA/QA loop.
• Biomarkers: soft launch with first cohort (≥200 users) and a retest cadence defined.
• Board-level go/no-go recommendations for manufacturing transition and panel expansion.

Requirements

• 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.

Nice to Have

• Experience with EU + US markets; French and English proficiency.
• Network in Shenzhen/Guangdong ODMs and EU lab ecosystems (e.g., Cerba, Synlab, Unilabs).
• Prior startup founding/operator experience; ability to build a small A-team.

Benefits

• Mission-driven: help millions build healthier lives.
• Ambitious scope: own two flagship programs from first principles.
• Design-led culture: craft experiences people love and keep using.
