5+ years expAccelerOnc Studio is a company focused on innovative solutions in oncology. They are seeking a Product Manager to lead the full cycle from user insight to validated solutions, blending user research, design leadership, and validation expertise to build AI agents for their oncology portfolio.
Venture Capital & Private Equity
Responsibilities
Lead the complete cycle for OncoBrain (AI treatment recommendations) and ClearOnc (second opinion platform): research → design → prototype → test → iterate
Understand all user types: patients navigating diagnoses, oncologists making treatment decisions, care teams coordinating care, administrators managing systems, enterprise buyers evaluating platforms
Translate insights into design concepts, create prototypes (low-fi to high-fi), run usability tests with real users
Champion equity throughout: actively recruit participants from safety-net hospitals, test solutions across diverse demographics and care settings, validate designs work for all, not just some
Iterate based on what you learn, then hand validated designs to the Development PM for implementation
Partner with CTO to design AI agents that automate the full cycle:
Discovery agents: Conduct interviews, synthesize insights, identify patterns across populations
Design agents: Generate concepts, create prototypes, apply design patterns
Validation agents: Run usability tests, analyze sessions, track UX quality metrics
Collaborate tightly with Development PM: your agents discover needs + design solutions + validate they work → their agents build and deploy them
Start with pilots in 2-3 companies, establish patterns, scale infrastructure across all portfolio companies
Define quality standards: What makes agent-generated insights trustworthy? When can agents design? When do we need human designers? What counts as valid testing?
Build reusable frameworks: create once, deploy across the portfolio
Partner with VP of Product to facilitate explorations of value tensions and user-centered design, serving as a bridge between ethical inquiry and user needs
Conduct equity audits: Are we hearing from diverse populations? Whose voices are missing? Do our designs work equitably?
Lead participatory design sessions: patients, oncologists, nurses, administrators actively shaping solutions together
Surface when designs might work well for some users and fail others
Help establish studio-wide practices for equitable research, inclusive design, and thorough validation
Share learnings across portfolio: What design patterns work? What validation approaches are effective? What’s transferable across oncology domains?
Enable other teams: Help workstream leads across companies improve their discovery, design, and validation processes
Document what works and what doesn’t for scaling practices portfolio-wide
Connect patterns across different contexts (treatment decisions, genomic interpretation, imaging analysis, trial matching, etc.)
Synthesize insights into strategic recommendations that inform roadmaps
Identify opportunities that span multiple companies
Translate validated designs into clear requirements for Development PM
Connect the dots: what patterns appear across the portfolio?
Partner with Commercial colleagues to synthesize market feedback and customer requirements, ensuring that real-world business needs are integrated into the product discovery and design process
Collaborate with Scientists on the clinical validation of products, bridging the gap between user-centered design and the rigorous scientific evidence required for oncology solutions
Translate customer and clinical insights into actionable product requirements, ensuring the agentic infrastructure (Discovery, Design, and Validation agents) accounts for both commercial viability and clinical safety
Lead "closed-loop" feedback sessions with Sales and Customer Success teams to validate that the solutions being prototyped and tested solve the most pressing pain points for enterprise buyers and clinical users
Other duties, as assigned
Qualification
Required
5-10+ years experience spanning product management, user research, and/or product design with shipped products
Hands-on experience building with AI agents (including personal projects - we want to see what you've built)
Comfortable across the full discovery → design → validation cycle (don't need to be world-class at all three, but competent and interested)
Can create prototypes (Figma, code, paper - whatever works) and run usability tests
Technical fluency: comfortable discussing architecture with engineers
Experience with or commitment to equitable research and design practices
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complex systems
Preferred
Healthcare or clinical product experience
Platform or infrastructure PM work
Participatory design or co-design with diverse communities
Research and testing with underrepresented or vulnerable populations
Engineering, design, or HCI background
Understanding of healthcare disparities and social determinants of health
Experience with rapid prototyping and iterative design
Benefits
Standard annual bonus (target 15-20%), tied to infrastructure adoption, technical roadmap execution, and operationalizing equity.
