Résumé du poste

Rugiet Health seeks an Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Women’s Health in Austin to build a new brand from the ground up. You’ll explore opportunities, validate concepts, and set the strategy with autonomy, reporting directly to the CEO and earning a seat at the table from day one.

You’ll lead research, define the opportunity, shape the brand and product roadmap, work with clinical and regulatory teams, build financial models, attract partners, and recruit the founding team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in high-growth startup, DTC brand, or consumer health.
• Proven experience launching a product, brand, or business.
• Deep understanding of the women’s health landscape, including regulatory environment.
• Strong commercial instincts: unit economics, CAC, LTV, and retention.
• Exceptional communicator who can synthesize ambiguity into clear recommendations.
• Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable operating without a playbook.
• Experience in telehealth, compounding pharmacy, or regulated health categories is a strong plus.

Responsabilités

• Lead market research and consumer discovery to define the women’s health opportunity most aligned with Rugiet’s core capabilities.
• Develop and pressure-test the brand strategy, product roadmap, and go-to-market approach.
• Work closely with Rugiet’s clinical, regulatory, and compounding teams to identify viable treatment categories.
• Build financial models and business cases to guide investment decisions.
• Source and manage external partners including creative agencies, medical advisors, and technology vendors.
• Recruit and help assemble the founding team for the new brand.
• Present findings, recommendations, and progress to executive leadership and the board.
• Transition into a senior leadership role (e.g., GM or President) upon brand launch, pending mutual agreement.

Description du poste

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up inside a company that already has the infrastructure, capital, and clinical credibility to back you. As Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Women's Health, you'll lead the exploration, validation, and eventual launch of Rugiet's women's health brand. You'll operate with significant autonomy, report directly to the CEO, and have a seat at the table from day one.

This is not a traditional corporate role. It's for someone who thinks like a founder, operates like a GM, and is energized by the challenge of building a category from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Lead market research and consumer discovery to define the women's health opportunity most aligned with Rugiet's core capabilities
• Develop and pressure-test the brand strategy, product roadmap, and go-to-market approach
• Work closely with Rugiet's clinical, regulatory, and compounding teams to identify viable treatment categories
• Build financial models and business cases to guide investment decisions
• Source and manage external partners including creative agencies, medical advisors, and technology vendors
• Recruit and help assemble the founding team for the new brand
• Present findings, recommendations, and progress to executive leadership and the board
• Transition into a senior leadership role (e.g., GM or President) upon brand launch, pending mutual agreement

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of experience, including time at a high-growth startup, DTC brand, or consumer health company
• Demonstrated experience launching a product, brand, or business – you've built something before
• Deep understanding of the women's health landscape, including consumer behavior, clinical considerations, and regulatory environment
• Strong commercial instincts: you think about unit economics, CAC, LTV, and retention as naturally as you think about brand
• Exceptional communicator who can synthesize ambiguity into clear recommendations
• Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable operating without a playbook
• Experience in telehealth, compounding pharmacy, or regulated health categories is a strong plus

Compensation

• Competitive Salary
• Performance bonus tied to launch milestones
• Meaningful equity participation
• Full benefits (Health, 401k, PTO)
