Product Manager
About Nectar
Nectar is on a mission to provide quality health care for pets through modernized veterinary technology. Our team was founded by Harvard, Stanford, McKinsey, Meta, and Square alumni, and we were named to BCV’s 2023 Top 50 Emerging SaaS list. Today's veterinary clinic tools are outdated and challenging to use. Our vision is an intuitive cloud platform with a streamlined medical record system and predictive analytics to equip vets and pet owners with insightful data. Having launched our MVP and closed our second funding round in Q1 of 2023, we have been rapidly gaining market traction. Earlier this year, we partnered with a veterinary group with 300+ clinics, and we are looking to rapidly scale our operations!
Product Manager role
We're seeking a Product Manager with expertise in the veterinary industry, who is eager to lead the next phase of our product's evolution, casting vision and executing on both our new veterinary group partner and our independently-owned clinic customers’ needs.

This is an opportunity for someone ready to take the reigns of their career and play a pivotal role in shaping our product, team, and the veterinary industry. You'll tackle exciting challenges, such as how to leverage AI to unlock new efficiencies throughout the traditional clinic workflow, how to boost client compliance to recommended treatment plans and capture missed charges, and how to most create innovative new solutions in partnership with other major providers across the veterinary landscape.
