Job description

Senior Product Manager – Healthtech (Contract)

A people first consultancy is working with a fast-moving healthtech organisation is looking for a hands-on Senior Product Manager to lead a critical delivery phase for a new healthcare app, working across private and public health systems. This is a short, intense contract for someone who can drop into a complex domain, make sense of messy inputs, and drive a proof of concept through to launch.

The contract

• Start: Early January (ASAP preferred)
• Length: 3 months (January–March) with potential to extend
• Day rate: £600-£640 per day (outside IR35)
• Location: Remote (some UK/Ireland healthcare stakeholder timezones)

We need somone who has this specific domain and project experience. You must have worked taking a healthtech app from product market fit to customer launch in the Uk if you do not have the exact experience you will not be contacted or hear back- apologies this one is niche and on a time crunch so we cannot be flexible on experience.

The project

• Own product delivery for a patient-facing health app that brings together:
• Private healthcare journeys
• Irish public healthcare touchpoints
• Insurance and claims processes
• Work from existing business requirements to shape and deliver a proof of concept for mid-January, then drive towards a launch targeted for May.
• Collaborate with a third-party development team, internal operational leaders and specialist clinical/tech advisors (including cardiology experts).
• Operate in a low-documentation environment: make sense of fragments, create just-enough structure, and keep everyone aligned on what needs to happen when.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead end-to-end delivery for a critical product stream, turning business requirements into a clear, actionable product plan and backlog.
• Work closely with operations, clinical stakeholders and external advisors to quickly absorb domain knowledge across private care, cardiology pathways, and insurance flows.
• Coordinate with a third-party dev team to ensure scope, priorities and timelines are understood, realistic and focused on delivering a usable POC and then a robust launch.
• Connect multiple systems and journeys, including:
• Public health / national apps (e.g. NHS-style apps, EHR/EHS integrations)
• Hospital and clinic systems (EHR/ERP, including finance modules and queuing/workflow tools)
• Private medical insurance and claims processes (including Meditech-style integrations).
• Bring clarity where documentation is thin: define user journeys, edge cases and acceptance criteria so engineers and stakeholders are confident in what’s being built.
• Track progress against key dates (POC by mid-January, launch by May), managing risks, dependencies and trade-offs openly.

Experience we’re looking for

• Senior Product Manager with strong experience in:
• Private healthcare apps and/or digital care platforms.
• Public healthcare integrations (e.g. NHS-style apps, EHR/EHS, hospital ERP).
• Insurance and claims journeys, ideally including medical insurance and Meditech or similar systems.
• Comfortable working with third-party development partners and internal stakeholders to deliver under tight timelines.
• Proven ability to operate in low-process, low-documentation environments and still ship reliably.
• Strong communicator who can translate between operations, clinicians, insurers and engineers, and keep everyone focused on the next outcome.

If you’ve led similar healthtech integrations and can jump straight into a January start, this contract offers a high-impact, well-paid opportunity to ship something meaningful in a short space of time.
