Senior Product Manager
Let's make the NHS the most advanced healthcare system in the world 💙
The world’s best healthcare, for free. It's not a new idea, it's called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works.
We love the NHS because it’s accessible to all, free at the point of delivery and employs millions up and down the UK. But we've all read the headlines. It's under intense pressure with rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty and an ageing population. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need of it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken.
The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a ridiculous amount of time on mundane admin. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. And that's where we're making a difference.
We're focused on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. And we’ve had great early success. Our first product, Automated Registrations, is already used by 24% of GP practices in England. With this wedge in the market, we're now building more powerful tech that unlocks access to healthcare for the entire nation. Check out bookable.health for a sneak peek.

🥳 Find the fun
Read more about our principles in the Healthtech-1 Handbook.
🚀 The mission
We have an ambitious mission: to unlock access by making every appointment within the NHS transparent and bookable.
Your job: turn bookable.health from new tech used by 150 innovate GPs into the national infrastructure for access.
This is role with founder-level ownership. You will work directly with Raj (co-founder) to translate the vision into clear logical, and actionable steps for engineering teams to follow.
⭐ North star
The North Star the entire company is shooting for is Weekly Appointments Booked (WAB).
🧩 What you’ll own
Our first step in building a universal appointment booking platform, is by cracking open access to GP practices. To win we’ll need to balance three, sometimes contradictory, forces:
Supply of appointments
To become a trusted guardian of GP practice’s most precious resource — appointments. Your team will be responsible for getting access to appointments for new patients.
Demand for appointments
To become the access layer we’ll need to build an experience that patients love on bookable.health, whilst also integrating with other places patients visit, like the NHS app and practice websites.
Market acceptance
There are many organisations within the NHS that have the power to destroy innovation. They’re driven by an urge to care for the NHS in their own way. We must listen to these voices, create insight with data, and adapt the product if we find genuine concerns.

By day 60: Aligned the team
Agreed strategy with Raj and Rupert for the next cycle (2 month work blocks)
Turned strategy into written logic for engineers to follow

Quality assured what's been shipped
Motivated and inspired your team
Outcome: Have significantly moved at least 2 key platform metrics listed above.

You can turn vision into clear logic: You’re persuasive, and can create alignment on what needs to be built.
You love speaking to patients and practices for insights: Talking to users isn’t a chore, it’s something you’re excited to do and make time for.

🌱 Progression
We don’t grow people with titles. We grow people with scope.
If you succeed, your ownership expands fast:
Phase 1: Own Bookable for GP practices end-to-end (supply, demand, trust).
Phase 2: Own the full patient access journey across Bookable, Registrations, and Navigation.
Phase 3: Shape the national access layer for the NHS across all appointment types (Pharmacy, Physio, Mental Health)
If titles matter to you, the natural path here is Senior PM → Head of Product (Access), earned purely through impact.
💙 A bit about us
💙 We’re all NHS staff. We’re inside-outsiders. Trusted with one of the biggest datasets in the world.
🏥 Our office is within a GP practice. This is our unfair advantage. Got a question? Pop down the corridor. Want to learn how your work affects real patients? Pop downstairs to reception.
💪🏼 3-5 days in the office, depending on your team and the company schedule. We highly prioritise in-person communication and prefer candidates who want to work 4+ days a week in the office. Our anchor days are Mon, Tues and Fri. Homemade breakfast and lunch are on the house every day when you're in the office, ensuring you're fuelled for success!
🌀 We work in growth cycles. Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business-as-Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it.
🤝 We’re highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we’re very collaborative by nature. Two heads are often better than one, and we frequently lean on each other to solve problems together.
🤜🏽 We’re backed by industry leaders. We’re on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, backed by the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Program, winners of the London Business School Healthtech Challenge, Innovate UK, and Y Combinator (S23).
🚀 An opportunity for real upside
💉 Paid volunteer days. We offer an additional 2 paid days off per year where you can give back to your mission of choice.
🎢 Every 8 weeks we take a day off to socialise as a team. In the past we’ve hiked box hill, raved at All Points East and spent one rainy day at Thorpe park. This works out as 6 working days a year.
📚 Learning budget of £250 annually and time off to spend it - we care about this; this is flexible and based on need but everyone will receive a yearly allocation towards their continual growth.
🍽️ Homemade breakfast and lunch are on the house when you're in the office, ensuring you're fuelled for success!
🥗 Health and fitness budget of £60 per month - see more here
🧘♂️ An additional 7 days of paid leave is available if you want to take time to learn how to meditate.
💫 Tooling; You’ll have your choice of operating systems and any additional tools you need to do your best work (e.g. keyboard, additional monitors, mouse etc). If you’re on our Engineering teams you’ll receive the latest MacBook Pro and our Growth & Ops teams receives a MacBook Air.
🩺 We know health and family come first which is why we have a generous sick leave policy with additional days that can be taken for mental health leave.
✈️ We prioritise time outside of work to bond, once a year we’ll holiday together! Destination chosen by popular vote. In 2025, we spent 8 days in a surf camp in France!
👎 No private medical insurance, because we believe in the NHS and we are here to improve it!
🐥 Parental leave: Post passing probation it is: statutory - 6 weeks 90% pay then, SMP for 33 weeks; if you've been an employee for a year: 12 weeks 100% pay then, SMP for 27 weeks; and if you have been here for 2 years: 18 weeks 100% pay then, SMP for 21 weeks. This will improve over time. We also include up to £9,000 of childcare contribution for primary caregivers to support a five-day return where possible.
👪 Fertility leave. We understand how difficult a fertility journey can be. This is why we give an extra 5 days off per year if you or your partner are going through fertility treatment.
🐖 Pension - We operate a standard 3% employer contribution and employees auto-contribute 5% of their salary. We use Nest as our provider.
🏡 Local living benefit - A one-off benefit to support living closer to the office: £5,000 if you live within a 30-minute walk, or £2,500 within a 30-minute bike. It is optional, available immediately on signing, and not linked to performance or progression.
🚕 If you choose to work late in the office, you can expense dinner after 7pm and an Uber home after 9pm, or earlier if you feel unsafe travelling in the dark. This is optional and about wellbeing, not performance or expectations.
⛵️And of course, an adventure of a lifetime!
🌈 Inclusive & Diverse by Design
We care about building a product that is loved and a culture that is rich in perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
Our team represents more than ten different cultures. We come together every lunch time for a home cooked meal, rotated among team members!
We want everyone in our team to know that they belong. We are purposeful about this and are proactively building a company that is inclusive of all people; from race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodiversity, disability, colour, and national origin - essentially every type of diversity. We don’t just want people who fit in, we want them to fit together. We're active in continually improving the way we make this happen.
