Perks

• Highlight concrete experience building and scaling digital health products that comply with HIPAA and other clinical regulations; in your resume and interview, reference specific metrics (e.g., user growth, adherence rates, or cost‑per‑patient reductions) you achieved while launching tele‑health or weight‑management platforms.
• Prepare a 2‑page product case study that walks through the full product lifecycle you led—problem definition, data‑driven prioritization (show dashboards from Mixpanel or Amplitude), roadmap creation in tools like Asana/Jira, and post‑launch outcomes. Include screenshots of wireframes or Figma prototypes and any A/B test results to demonstrate your end‑to‑end ownership.
• Demonstrate familiarity with Knownwell’s hybrid care model by mapping how you would integrate virtual coaching data with in‑clinic EMR workflows; bring a short mock “integration roadmap” to the interview that outlines APIs, data security checkpoints, and cross‑functional hand‑offs between product, engineering, clinicians, and the health‑coaching team.
• Show that you can thrive in a fully remote, fast‑moving environment: cite concrete examples of leading distributed squads across time zones, using Slack/Teams for async decision‑making, running weekly “product health” stand‑ups, and establishing clear OKRs that were tracked in a shared dashboard (e.g., Google Data Studio or Looker).
• When discussing compensation, reference Knownwell’s recent $25 M funding round and the typical equity ranges for senior product leaders at Series C health‑tech firms; be ready to negotiate a base salary that aligns with remote national benchmarks (e.g., $180–$210 k) plus a meaningful RSU grant tied to product milestones you will own.
