Job description

Head of Product | Health Tech Scale-up | London (Hybrid, 2-3 days) | £120,000 - £140,000 plus equity

We're working with a fast-growing health tech business at a genuinely pivotal point in its journey. They're building serious commercial momentum, moving from a concentrated client base toward a diversified enterprise portfolio, and they're looking for a Head of Product to lead that next chapter.

Let's be upfront about what this role is. It's hands-on first and leadership second. You'd come in as a senior individual contributor with a small product team beneath you, growing into leading that function properly as the business scales. If you want to set direction from a distance, this isn't it. If you want to build, ship and shape a product function from the front, it will suit you perfectly.

What you'll own:

• Product strategy and roadmap across the platform, with full end to end ownership
• Bridging commercial and engineering, holding a healthy tension between the two
• Balancing pace against the regulatory requirements that come with operating in health
• Supporting enterprise sales, shaping product responses to client requirements and RFPs
• Building out a lean, AI-first product operating model
• Leading a small product team and growing into full ownership of the function

Who you are:

• Health tech experience, this one is non-negotiable
• Currently operating at Principal, Staff, Head of or VP level within a startup or scale-up
• A genuine doer with startup mentality, someone who executes rather than only strategises
• Commercially sharp, with a real understanding of the urgency behind winning enterprise deals
• Experienced delivering product in a regulated environment without losing momentum
• Enough gravitas to command a room and challenge technical decisions credibly
• Comfortable with ambiguity around team structure in the near term
• US market understanding useful but not essential

If you're a Builder who wants real ownership and a stake in where the business ends up, this is worth exploring.
