POSITION INFO:

About the Role
As Product Owner, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end product lifecycle of our flagship
app—from shaping strategy to sweating every UX detail. You’ll work directly with our CTO
(technical lead and product visionary) and CEO (business and brand strategy) to ensure our
app doesn’t just keep pace with the healthtech landscape—it sets the benchmark.
You will own the product, shape its roadmap, and relentlessly iterate to keep us at the forefront
of design, technology, and user impact.
Key Responsibilities
? Own the Product Roadmap: Define, maintain, and execute the product roadmap
aligned with company strategy.
? Be the Voice of the User: Champion UX excellence and continuous improvement
based on user behavior, feedback, and industry best practices.
? Lead Feature Development: Translate vision into clear, detailed product requirements
(user stories, wireframes, acceptance criteria).
? Drive Delivery: Collaborate daily with our dev team (based in South Africa and India) to
prioritize work, remove blockers, and ship high-quality releases.
? Technical Fluency: Understand and challenge technical architecture, suggest scalable
solutions, and align features with our AI-driven backend.
? Design Savvy: Partner closely with UI/UX designers to ensure every screen is
pixel-perfect and every interaction feels magical.
? Stay Ahead: Track market trends, competitor movements, and emerging technologies to
keep our offering ahead of the curve.
? Startup Mindset: Be hands-on, proactive, and deeply accountable. You are not a
process person—you are a product force.
What Success Looks Like
? An app that’s loved by users, praised for its UX, and constantly evolving based on user
insight.
? A clear, actionable roadmap that aligns with strategic goals and gets delivered.
? A team that trusts your judgment, values your contributions, and rallies around the
product vision.

ideally in health, wellness, or tech sectors.
? Strong understanding of technical systems, mobile architecture, and Agile
methodologies.
? AI Product Experience: Demonstrated experience building or managing AI-powered
products—ideally involving machine learning, LLMs, personalization, or health
analytics.
? Experience in small, fast-paced startups—you’ve built things from scratch, made
decisions quickly, and worn many hats.
? Excellent UI/UX intuition and a knack for creating delightful user experiences.
? Data-driven mindset with fluency in metrics, A/B testing, and iterative improvements.
? South Africa-based and able to work closely with our development team.
