About the Company

Lumia is a well-funded startup building the next evolution in wearable health technology. We operate at the intersection of hardware, software, machine learning, and medical science - translating complex physiological signals into clear, actionable insights that help people better understand and manage their bodies. Our first mission was focused on improving the lives of individuals with dysautonomia and blood flow disorders, including POTS, ME/CFS, Orthostatic Hypotension, and Long COVID. These are all deeply underserved communities actively searching for better tools. As we scale, we are transforming into a general wellness wearables company - expanding reach and scope to new markets. Our founding team includes repeat entrepreneurs and ex-Bose engineers (our CEO’s last company was acquired by Bose, leading to the global launch of Bose Sleepbuds). We value rigor, ownership, velocity, and kindness. We are collaborative, high-performing, and serious about the work. The majority of the team is currently co-located in Boston, MA, with some remote roles. Opportunity for a remote role is dependent on the candidate and hiring manager approval.

About the Role

We are hiring our first Product Manager to own and scale the software experience that connects our wearable hardware to our members’ daily lives. This is not a feature-factory role. You will combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution to build engaging, habit-forming digital health experiences grounded in biometrics and real physiological data. You will work directly with the CEO, engineering, data science, and design to define roadmap, improve product operations, and translate complex sensor data into simple, meaningful insights. You will help establish the product function - including prioritization frameworks, release discipline, experimentation and user interview rigor, and product analytics foundations, all while shipping high-quality mobile and web features at a steady cadence.

Responsibilities

• Own the Software Roadmap and Development Lifecycle
• Partner with the CEO to shape and continuously refine the software roadmap, balancing near-term member value with long-term vision.
• Lead end-to-end product development: problem framing → wireframes → specs → sprint execution → QA → release.
• Write clear, well-scoped product tickets that reduce ambiguity and accelerate engineering velocity.
• Triage issues beyond surface-level symptoms by investigating root causes, proposing hypotheses, and suggesting solutions.
• Wearing and using the wearable daily to form first-person opinions on product priorities is part of the job.
• Manage release operations (Dev → Staging → Production), feature flags, and UAT.
• Define hypothesis-driven success criteria for each release, and evaluate features and usage.
• Lead the product marketing and GTM lifecycle of releases, partnering closely with Marketing.
• Build and refine light, scalable product operations processes to maintain clarity and alignment.
• Establish product strategy rhythms (quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, prioritization frameworks).
• Stay ahead of the competitive landscape in digital health, wearables, and remote diagnostics to inform future product strategy.
• Champion the User Experience
• Translate Lumia’s wearable capabilities into a cohesive, differentiated mobile experience.
• Deeply engage with members and patient communities to validate feature definitions and uncover unmet needs.
• Apply behavioral science principles to design habit-forming features, thoughtful in-app copy, and personalized experiences.
• Partner closely with Algorithm and Data Science teams to translate time-series biometric data and ML outputs into understandable, trustworthy insights.
• Define and track core KPIs (daily active wearers, retention, engagement, satisfaction).
• Instrument features and build dashboards, be able to define product analytics and maintain them.
• Partner closely with Support and Research to understand needs and build for success.

Qualifications

• 5 - 7 years of software product management experience.
• Strong mobile app product experience (iOS, Android, or cross-platform).
• Meaningful experience in wearables, biometrics, digital health, or health-tech strongly preferred.
• Experience building products that integrate with hardware or sensor-driven data.
• Demonstrated success shipping engaging, data-driven consumer products.

Required Skills

• Comfortable working with data and analytics as a product and collaborating with ML / algorithm teams.
• Familiar with core data science concepts (training/test sets, statistical significance, correlation, etc.).

Preferred Skills

• Thrive in ambiguity and bring structure to chaos.
• Operate with high ownership and accountability.
• Care deeply about clarity, prioritization, and execution quality.
• Motivated by impact and craftsmanship over titles.

Benefits Packages

• Equity upside
• Retirement plan (401k)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance reimbursement
• Commuter benefits
• Pastry Fridays

Interview Process

• Introductory Conversation (30 minutes)
• A conversation with the CEO to discuss your background, what excites you about Lumia, and high-level expectations for the role.

• Product Deep Dive (60 minutes)
• A slide-based presentation to stakeholders focused on a specific effort where:
• You detail what you’ve shipped (strategy, tradeoffs, metrics, what you’d do differently)
• How you approached an ambiguous problem space
• How you prioritized and made decisions under constraints
• Case Exercise (live: 60 min prep, 60 min together)
• You’ll be given some loose thoughts on an opportunity or idea and asked to bring initial structure, thinking, and proposal to the table for discussion with the team. We will email the scenario about 1 hour
