Director of Product

👋 Meet knownwell, weight-inclusive healthcare for all. Join a dynamic company that is changing the way obesity care is delivered. We offer weight management, primary care, nutrition counseling, and health coaching. Our care model combines in-clinic and virtual care to bring support to patients where and when they need it.

Backed by $50M in funding—including a $25M round led by CVS Health Ventures with support from a16z Bio + Health, Flare Capital, MassMutual, and Intermountain Ventures—we’re scaling fast and expanding access to evidence-based obesity care nationwide.

We’re looking for a Director of Product to lead product strategy and execution across knownwell’s clinical and technology platforms. You’ll work closely with clinical, operations, and engineering leadership to define what we build, why we build it, and how it connects to patient outcomes and business results. You’ll own the roadmap, lead a small but growing product team, and be a key voice in how knownwell evolves from a clinical-first startup into a technology-enabled platform company.
