About TouchCare
TouchCare is a healthcare advocacy and benefits navigation company dedicated to simplifying the healthcare experience for employees and their families. We help members navigate the complexities of healthcare and employee benefits, connecting them with personalized guidance, resources, and support when they need it most.
As we continue to grow, we're investing in technology, product innovation, and artificial intelligence to create smarter, more seamless experiences for our members, clients, and internal teams.
The Product Lead is the mini-CEO of one TouchCare product. You own where it goes and why: market and user research, strategy, roadmap and evolution. You also build: you prototype and ship with AI coding tools like Claude Design and Claude Code, not only write specs for others.
The work runs on two tracks. The incremental track delivers what the product needs in the short to mid term. The innovation track cultivates experimentation over the longer term, so we learn which moonshots are worth pursuing.
You'll run a pod with a Builder-Architect, a vibe-coding engineer who owns architecture and production quality. Together you take the product from insight to shipped, fast. You report to the VP of Product, Innovation & AI Strategy.
This is a two-in-one role for people who enjoy both halves, deciding what to build and building it. Think of it as a Product Manager and an AI builder in one person. We aren't looking for a traditional PM who hands off to engineering, or an engineer who waits for requirements.
What you'll do
- Own the product's direction. Set its strategy and roadmap, and recommend what to build next and what to stop.
- Run the research yourself. Talk to members, health assistants, sales and clients. Size the market, study competitors, and turn what you learn into decisions.
- Build and prototype. Use Claude Design & Claude Code and other AI tools to turn ideas into working prototypes in days, and ship smaller changes yourself.
- Ship with your Builder-Architect. You own what gets built and why; they own how it holds up in production. Both of you build.
- Run both tracks. Deliver the incremental roadmap while running experiments with real users to find the product's longer-term moonshots. Measure what worked and kill what didn't.
- Keep the experience consistent. Design in Figma and AI design tools, working from TouchCare's existing design system, so the product looks and feels right without a dedicated designer.
- Bring people along. Keep leadership, operations and sales informed on what's shipping and why.
What we're looking for
Product judgment is the non-negotiable half. Building is a strong plus we expect to see, at the level of prototyping and shipping small things, not production engineering.
Must-haves
- A track record of owning a product's direction and outcomes, not only a backlog
- Hands-on user and market research: you've run interviews and turned findings into decisions
- Sharp prioritization: you can say no and explain why
- Clear writing and communication with both executives and frontline teams
- Genuine enjoyment of both halves of this role: deciding and building
Strong plus
- You already build with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or similar) and can show something you made
- Hands-on design skills, especially Figma. Although we hope to lean on AI as much as possible, they may still be a need to do design work in Figma too, within our existing design system
- Comfort working with APIs and data, and debugging your own prototypes
- A record of running experiments and reading the results honestly
Nice to have
- Experience in healthcare, benefits or health navigation
- Familiarity with HIPAA and building products that handle protected health information
- Startup experience, where you wore several hats
Why Join TouchCare?
At TouchCare, you'll have the opportunity to help build, not simply maintain.
We're entering an exciting phase of product and technology investment, with a focus on leveraging AI to create meaningful improvements in healthcare navigation and service delivery.
This role offers the opportunity to:
Shape the future: Influence product direction and help define how AI transforms healthcare advocacy.
Make a tangible impact: Design experiences that simplify healthcare for real people and the teams supporting them.
Build from the ground up: Establish design systems, processes, and product experiences with significant ownership.
Collaborate with leadership: Work directly with senior leaders who are invested in innovation and growth.
Move with purpose: Join a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where ideas can quickly become meaningful products.
If you're passionate about designing intelligent, human-centered products and excited by the opportunity to build what's next in healthcare technology, we'd love to meet you.
TouchCare is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace.

Product Owner Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product owner in Connecticut?
Product ownership has no state-issued license in Connecticut, so the path runs through education and industry certification. Most Connecticut employers expect a bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or a related field combined with a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or SAFe Product Owner credential. Hartford's insurance and financial services sector and New Haven's healthcare and biotech corridor are the most active hiring pipelines for new product owners.
Which companies hire product owners in Connecticut?
Companies currently hiring product owners in Connecticut include Pratt & Whitney, Continuum of Care, and Collins Aerospace, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Connecticut's deep concentration of insurance carriers, financial technology firms, and defense contractors means product owner roles here often require experience managing regulated or compliance-sensitive products.
Which Connecticut cities have the most product owner jobs?
Hartford, New Haven, and East Hartford account for the largest share of product owner openings in Connecticut. Hartford drives volume through its insurance and financial services headquarters, while Stamford attracts technology and fintech employers drawn by its proximity to New York, and New Haven generates openings through its healthcare systems, biotech companies, and university-affiliated research organizations.
Are there remote product owner jobs in Connecticut?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 56% of product owner openings tied to Connecticut are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based and collaborative-but-digital nature of the work. Backlog refinement, sprint planning, and stakeholder reviews translate well to distributed settings, and many Connecticut-headquartered insurance and financial technology companies have formalized hybrid arrangements for product roles.
How can I get hired as a product owner in Connecticut with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a business analyst, QA analyst, or project coordinator role into a junior product owner or associate product manager position. Large Connecticut employers in insurance and healthcare technology, including carriers headquartered in the Hartford area, regularly post associate product manager openings that accept candidates without direct product ownership experience. Earning a Certified Scrum Product Owner credential before applying and building a portfolio of user stories or roadmap samples from volunteer or academic projects gives candidates a concrete edge.
Where can I find and apply to product owner jobs in Connecticut?
You can find and apply to product owner jobs in Connecticut on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, industry background, and preferred location or remote arrangement, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
