Product Manager

About Hale

Hale is a tech startup building the new infrastructure for women's gynaecological health.

We combine a tech platform that runs clinical protocols, telemedicine consultations and digital triage with a curated network of specialists to deliver high-quality, non-hospital care. We started from underserved conditions such as vulvodynia and endometriosis, and are now expanding into broader gynaecology.

Hale is based in Italy and has raised funding from institutional investors. Today, it has a core team of 5 full-time people across operations, tech, marketing, and strategy, supported by a part-time clinical lead and external collaborators on design, SEO, and legal.

We are building a strong team to make Hale the reference point women turn to when they need gynaecological care, and to scale this model across Europe.

The role

We are looking for a senior Product Manager to own Hale's product development as we scale from the first version of the product to a fully structured platform. Someone who knows how to frame problems, validate assumptions, iterate fast, and translate insights, needs, and constraints into concrete product decisions.

You will work:

• side by side with the CEO on product strategy, prioritization, and monetization
• very closely with engineering to bring solutions to life
• with clinical, ops, and marketing teams to ensure the product supports real user journeys

This is a
founding team role
with real ownership and long-term impact. At the beginning, you'll be the only product person, and the role is hands-on by design.

What you'll do

• Own the product discovery and iteration process, from problem framing to shipped features
• Turn messy inputs (qualitative feedback, constraints, intuition, business needs) into structured problems and clear product directions
• Ask the right questions, consistently challenge assumptions, and dig into the
  why
  of the business
• Define and defend priorities
• Design and validate new product experiences, including when it makes sense to adapt or reuse best practices from other products
• Define high-level user flows and end-to-end experiences (not UI), collaborating with designers where needed
• Balance user experience, clinical quality, and speed of execution

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience in product management roles
• Strong experience in product methodology: discovery, validation, iteration, prioritization
• Proven ability to translate problems and insights into real, shipped products
• End-to-end ownership of the product roadmap
• Strong ability to define and track the KPIs that drive business outcomes
• Experience working closely with engineering teams on execution
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
• Fluency in English; Italian is a strong pro
• Nice to have: experience at building paid consumer products

This role is for you if

• You are strong at turning unstructured inputs into structured product thinking
• You prefer building and learning over polishing
• You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
• You can say no, defend priorities, and explain trade-offs clearly
• You like working very closely with founders and shaping strategy, not just execution
• You're excited to build a product with real, measurable impact on millions of women

This role is not for you if

• You expect well-defined requirements and long-term roadmaps upfront
• You mainly want to focus on coordination or UI/UX
• You prefer highly structured environments with fixed processes
• You are uncomfortable with challenging decisions or taking responsibility for outcomes

What we offer

• Salary range:
  €40,000–€70,000
  (depending on profile)
• Meaningful
  equity package
  as part of the founding team
• Maximum flexibility around location, holidays, and time management. What matters is working well.
• A quarterly in-person team retreat, fully covered by the company
• Welfare benefits, focused on the things that matter most to you
• High ownership and direct exposure to company-level decisions
• The chance to build a product from the ground up, having a tangible impact on million women

If this role excites you (even if you don't meet every single requirement) we'd love to hear from you.
