About the Role

As a Lead AI Product Manager at Sidecar Health, you will own critical member-facing product areas where AI can transform how people shop for and access healthcare. You'll drive the strategy, development, and launch of AI-powered features — including agentic systems, intelligent assistants, and LLM-powered experiences — that help members search for care, understand costs, and make more informed healthcare decisions.

You bring a builder's mindset. You've taken AI products from zero to one, you understand how to design for trust and auditability in non-deterministic systems, and you know that the hardest AI problems aren't technical — they're about decision integrity, user trust, and getting humans and AI to work together well.

What You'll Do

• Lead product strategy and execution for AI-powered member experiences that help members find high-quality, cost-effective care

• Partner with engineering and data science to scope AI initiatives, define MVPs, and navigate build vs. buy vs. integrate decisions

• Lead a cross-functional pod of engineers, designers, and data scientists to ship high-impact improvements

• Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI landscape and translate emerging capabilities into concrete product opportunities

• Establish strong product practices tailored to the unique challenges of shipping AI products

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration, or related field

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years leading AI-powered product development (LLM-based features, agentic systems, conversational AI, or AI-assisted workflows — not solely traditional ML/predictive modeling)

• Demonstrated experience taking AI products from concept through launch, including managing the unique challenges of non-deterministic systems — evaluation,…
