Senior Product Manager
Prosper Health is on a mission to make life happier and healthier for autistic and neurodivergent adults.
Despite autism diagnoses increasing more than 5x in the past 25 years, autistic adults have been systematically overlooked. This has led to extremely poor outcomes, including high rates of co-occurring mental health conditions and a lower life expectancy. Prosper is here to change that.
We deliver specialized mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance. We've helped tens of thousands of people receive an autism diagnosis for the first time, work with neurodivergent-affirming therapists, and find belonging through community. Our outcomes meaningfully outperform traditional care for autistic adults, with substantially greater improvements in mood, anxiety, and quality of life.
Prosper is growing 3x year over year and are at mid-double-digit millions in run-rate revenue, with thousands of active clients and 400+ clinicians. We're a high-ownership, mission-driven team, building something that has never existed for autistic and neurodivergent adults.
About the Role
We’re hiring our first Product Manager to drive what we build and hold us accountable for whether it works.
We have product lines that are working and need to scale, new bets we haven’t figured out yet, and AI experiments that could reach many more people. You’ll look across all of it, frame hard tradeoffs, make clear recommendations, and own the outcomes.
You’ll own the research, analysis, and recommendations that shape what we build and why. You’ll define metrics, track whether they moved, and hold the team (and yourself) accountable. If the number doesn’t move, that’s on you.
You’ll report to the Head of Engineering and work closely with the CEO. This role is based in our Chelsea (NYC) office, hybrid 2-4 days per week in-person. You’re joining a 7-person engineering team and a product designer. We need someone who brings analytical rigor, user insight, and decision-making discipline that helps us move faster and bet better.
If you’re excited by turning ambiguity into clarity, moving fast in a high-stakes environment, and building something that has never existed for neurodivergent adults, this role is for you.
You Will
- Keep us focused on the right problem. And make sure our solution solves it at the leanest possible scope; push for the 80% version.
- Ensure engineering is never blocked on what to build next. Engineers should always have clear context on the problem, the user, and why it matters.
- Run discovery that drives decisions. Talk to clients, clinicians, and ops.
- Own metrics and drive accountability. Define success metrics, build dashboards, track outcomes, and run growth reviews. If something isn’t moving, figure out why and fix it.
- Filter and prioritize requests. Make sure problems are real, the proposed metric is correctly identified, and it’s the highest-leverage thing to work on right now.
About You
- Have ~5-8 years of professional experience, ideally with time in startups or similar environments
- Strong analytical thinking and comfort with data
- Use AI to accelerate your own work and your team’s work, and can think about how it can be used in products
- Deeply curious about users.
- Communicate clearly across engineering, ops, and leadership, with the backbone to push back and the humility to change your mind
- Find a way to deliver results: scrappy, high-ownership, and willing to fill gaps
- Proficient in spreadsheets, know SQL or can learn it quickly, and build your own dashboards
You’ll stand out if you’ve been a first PM, worked on AI/LLM products, or are genuinely passionate about neurodivergent care.
Process
If we interview you, you can expect the following process:
- An initial 30 minute conversation with Byrne (our Head of Engineering)
- A 30-45 minute deep dive on a product you’ve shipped, with one of our engineers
- A 2-3 hour take-home case study
- A 45 minute presentation and discussion of your case study with Byrne + Ben (CEO)
- An onsite interview in Chelsea (NYC) to meet the team
- We will speak with 2-3 references you provide
