About the role
- Some of the specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Define and prioritize features across the full product stack: the device itself, the companion mobile app, packaging, and everything in between
- Be the voice of the customer: run user research, synthesize feedback from early pilots and field deployments, and turn both qualitative and quantitative insight into clear priorities
Responsibilities
- Own the product roadmap for our next gen product from prototype through mass-market launch, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals across hardware and software
- This is a rare opportunity to define what it means to build a consumer product in an entirely new category: one that physically moves with people, adapts to their bodies, and improves their lives in a tangible, measurable way.
- You'll work directly with our founders and leadership to shape not just what we build, but why and when.
- Partner with hardware, firmware, and software engineers on a day-to-day basis; understand tradeoffs well enough to make fast, well-reasoned calls without slowing the team down
- Collaborate with operations and supply chain on launch readiness, including coordinating across EVT -> DVT -> PVT milestones and managing the dependencies between product decisions and manufacturing timelines
- Own the post-purchase experience end-to-end and use what you learn there to feed directly back into the product roadmap
- Align product capabilities with our key commercial partners
- Wear prototypes several hours a week to participate in data collection, test new builds, and provide real-world product feedback
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in product management, with at least 2 years on a physical or hardware product
- Strong instincts for user research: you know how to find signal in noisy feedback and translate it into decisions the whole team can rally around
- Data-driven but not you can make a complex tradeoff legible to an engineer, an executive, and a first-time user in the same week
- Ability to relocate to work at the Skip Bay Area office
- Familiarity with regulated product development or clinical evidence standards (FDA)
- Experience working at an early-stage start-up, ideally as the first or second PM
- Understanding of ML/AI product development, particularly the unique challenges of products where the model is the experience
Benefits
- Contribute to our longer-term product vision, including our Parkinson's device and future Movewear platform, by staying close to the science, the clinical research, and the people who stand to benefit most
- Experience with consumer health, medical devices, wearables, or any product that physically interacts with the human body
Company info
- Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.
- Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building products that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.
- Skip is a 24-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc'teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device, the MO/GO, develop a platform to launch future Movewear products and transform millions of lives in the coming years.
