Get Access To All JobsAbout The Role
We’re looking for a Product Manager, New Programs to build net-new experiences in an emerging condition category. This is a true 0→1 role: you’ll start from ambiguous problems, form sharp hypotheses, validate quickly with users and data, and ship experiences that create real member and business impact. You’ll operate as a full-stack builder — equally comfortable shaping UX flows, pressure-testing data models and metrics, and working through technical constraints with engineering. You’ll work closely with clinical, design, engineering, and go-to-market partners to define what we build, why it matters, and how we’ll know it’s working.
What You’ll Do
Ramp fast in a new domain
+ Quickly build a deep, structured understanding of user needs, clinical context, and product opportunities without waiting for perfect information.
+ Form a clear point of view, update it as you learn, and communicate it crisply to stakeholders.
Lead discovery & validation
+ Identify high-value, unmet user problems and size the opportunity.
+ Design lean tests (prototypes, pilots, experiments) to validate the core assumptions before we commit.
+ Synthesize qualitative and quantitative signal into clear recommendations and next steps.
Drive 0→1 execution
+ Translate validated directions into shippable product experiences without an existing playbook.
+ Make hard, principled trade-offs under time and resource constraints, protecting what’s truly critical for user value and clinical quality.
+ Work hand-in-hand with engineering, design, and clinical partners to get high-quality releases out the door quickly.
Influence across functions and levels
+ Navigate the “seams” of the organization — picking up work where ownership is unclear, unblocking dependencies, and creating alignment where it doesn’t yet exist.
+ Engage senior stakeholders with a clear, structured point of view, including when you’re advocating for an unpopular or contrarian position.
* Make data central to decisions
+ Write crisp hypotheses with clear success criteria and leading/lagging indicators.
+ Partner with Data and Engineering to stand up the right instrumentation and reporting when infrastructure is limited.
+ Use data to change direction, not just to confirm it.
Who You Are
Background & Experience
~5–8 years of experience in product management or highly relevant roles (e.g., business operations, strategy, consulting, or “founder/operator” roles) where you owned outcomes end-to-end — not just execution of a predefined roadmap.
Demonstrated experience launching something net-new: starting from an unclear problem, building a hypothesis, validating it with real users, and shipping a product or feature to market.
* You’ve worked in environments with ambiguous ownership and incomplete information, and you’re comfortable creating structure rather than waiting for it.
Super Strengths
Structured judgment & learning velocity
+ You make confident calls without perfect information and know how to close the gaps fast.
+ You seek out the “deep end” — new domains and messy problems — and can articulate what you got wrong and how you’d approach it differently next time.
High-signal product intuition
+ You have a strong sense for where real user friction and business opportunity live, and you think in expected value, not just feature ideas.
+ You right-size solutions: you don’t over-engineer before validating the core assumption.
Relentless, creative execution
+ “That’s not possible” is a prompt, not a stop sign. You find another path that respects constraints while still moving the ball forward.
+ You act with urgency and extreme ownership, stepping outside a narrow PM lane when needed to get critical work shipped.
Cross-functional influence
+ You earn trust by being clear, consistent, and reliable.
+ You can both push back and change your mind: you explain your reasoning, are transparent about trade-offs, and know when to hold your ground vs. when new information should move you.
Nice to Have
Experience in digital health, healthcare, or other highly regulated environments.
Background that matches one of these archetypes:
+ Business operations / strategy / consulting → product, with a track record of owning outcomes, or
+ Scrappy startup PM/operator who has repeatedly brought new products to market with limited resources.

Get Access To All JobsNew Product Development CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does my new product development CPT job have to match my exact major?
It has to be directly tied to your enrolled program, but an exact major match isn't always required. A supply chain student interning on a product launch team can qualify if their DSO determines the work integrates with coursework. The DSO makes that call, so discuss the role description with them before you sign the offer letter.
Can I do CPT at a startup working on hardware or consumer products?
Yes. CPT authorization is based on the job's connection to your curriculum, not the employer's size or type. Startups are eligible as long as the company is a legitimate legal entity and the position is documented with a formal offer letter. Many early-stage product companies actively seek F-1 CPT students because the hiring process is faster than H-1B visa sponsorship.
How do I find new product development employers who understand CPT?
Migrate Mate lets you filter for employers with Labor Condition Application filing history, which is a reliable indicator that a company has hired international students before and understands the authorization process. Targeting companies with this track record reduces the back-and-forth with HR over what CPT documentation they need from your school.
Does full-time CPT in a product development role affect my OPT eligibility?
Full-time CPT used for 12 months or more eliminates your post-completion OPT eligibility entirely, per USCIS rules. Part-time CPT, regardless of duration, has no effect on OPT. If your product development internship runs a full year or longer, you'll need to plan your post-graduation work authorization strategy without relying on OPT.
What job titles qualify as new product development for CPT purposes?
Your DSO evaluates the actual job duties, not just the title. Roles like product development engineer, innovation analyst, R&D associate, and commercialization intern typically qualify when the duties involve design, testing, or launch activities tied to your program. Review the O*NET occupation profile for your target role to identify the standard duties and confirm the match with your DSO before applying.
