Our Mission

At Big Health, our mission is to help millions back to good mental health by providing fully digital, non-drug options for the most common mental health conditions.

Our digital program, Spark Direct, helps to reduce the impact of persistent depressive symptoms.
In pursuit of our mission, we’ve pioneered the first at-scale digital therapeutic business model in partnership with some of the most prominent global healthcare organizations, including leading Fortune 500 healthcare companies and Scotland’s NHS. Through product innovation, robust clinical evaluation, and a commitment to equity at scale, we are designing the next generation of medicine and the future of mental health care.

Join Us

We're looking for a Product Manager, Patient Engagement contractor to own and drive key workstreams across our digital therapeutics portfolio. Reporting to the Director Patient Products & Growth, you'll take on projects to improve engagement — working across engineering, design, clinical, and data teams to ship products that improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone with 3–5 years of product experience who thrives in execution, is analytically rigorous, and wants to work at the intersection of technology and evidence-based mental health care. You'll work extensively with tools like PostHog, Iterable, and Contentful, and you'll be expected to develop domain fluency in digital therapeutics, CBT clinical frameworks, and the regulatory landscape for FDA-cleared software.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct user research — interviews, usability testing, survey analysis, and support channel review — to understand where and why patients disengage from treatment.
  • Analyze product usage data and engagement metrics to identify drop-off points, retention patterns, and opportunities for intervention across the patient journey.
  • Design and run experiments to test engagement hypotheses: define success metrics, monitor results, analyze outcomes, and present actionable recommendations to product leadership.
  • Design UX flows and interaction patterns that address identified engagement gaps — collaborating with design and clinical teams to ensure solutions are both intuitive and therapeutically effective.
  • Own configuration and optimization of engagement journeys in Iterable — including push notifications, SMS, in-app messages, email, lifecycle messaging, re-engagement flows, and frequency capping.
  • Design conversational AI and chatbot flows that support patient engagement, leveraging AI tools to prototype and iterate on conversational experiences.
  • Author product requirements documents (PRDs) and feature specifications that translate engagement insights into clear, actionable engineering work.
  • Triage incoming bugs and product issues: verify, assess severity, coordinate with engineering on root cause analysis, and manage resolution through to closure.
  • Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate research synthesis, experiment analysis, spec drafting, and decision support.
  • Partner with clinical and data teams to ensure engagement changes align with therapeutic design principles, clinical evidence standards, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

    Required

  • 3–5 years of product management experience in health tech, telehealth, SaMD, or consumer wellness — with a focus on mobile app experiences
  • Experience working on learning products, behavior change apps, or self-improvement platforms where sustained user engagement is the core product challenge
  • Deep empathy for users and a strong UX sensibility — you have opinions about what makes a great product experience, you can critique flows and wireframes with specificity, and you push for designs that are simple and intuitive over feature-complete
  • Demonstrated experience running experiments and making data-informed product decisions
  • Hands-on proficiency with product analytics tools (PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or similar) and engagement platforms (Iterable, Braze, or similar)
  • Ownership mentality — you take initiative, manage your own workstreams, and drive projects to completion with minimal direction
  • Strong communication skills — you can author clear PRDs, synthesize research into concise recommendations, and keep stakeholders aligned
  • Preferred

  • Comfort with AI-assisted workflows and a demonstrated ability to evaluate and iterate on AI-generated output
  • Experience with digital therapeutics, FDA SaMD, or regulated health software
  • Familiarity with SQL or willingness to develop data querying skills
  • Working knowledge of Jira and Figma
  • Experience designing or configuring conversational AI or chatbot experiences
We at Big Health are on a mission to bring millions back to good mental health, in order to do so, we need to reflect the diversity of those we intend to serve. We’re an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building a culturally and experientially diverse team that leads with empathy and respect. Additionally, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

Many individuals struggling with common mental health conditions like insomnia and anxiety often face significant barriers to accessing effective, evidence-based care. Traditional options may involve long wait times for specialists, the potential side effects of medication, or a lack of readily available, personalized support. This is why Big Health was founded: to help millions of people reclaim good mental health through accessible and clinically proven digital therapeutics. Our customers, including individuals, employers, and health plans, are looking for solutions that not only address these challenges but also integrate seamlessly into daily life and existing healthcare pathways.

At Big Health, we understand that our users need more than just information; they need engaging, effective, and convenient tools that empower them to take control of their mental wellbeing. Co-founder Peter Hames experienced firsthand the difficulty of obtaining non-pharmacological treatment for insomnia, which led him to collaborate with Dr. Colin Espie, a leading clinical psychologist. Together, they envisioned a future where gold-standard behavioral therapies could be delivered digitally, making them scalable and widely accessible. Our digital programs, such as Sleepio for insomnia and Daylight for anxiety, are built upon the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a well-established and highly effective approach. We are committed to rigorous scientific validation, with our programs backed by numerous randomized controlled trials and extensive research. This dedication to evidence ensures that our users and partners can trust the efficacy and safety of our solutions. We strive to make mental healthcare more inclusive by reaching communities that have been traditionally underserved, offering a discreet and stigma-free way to access support anytime, anywhere. By combining leading clinical expertise with thoughtful design and technology, Big Health is dedicated to providing a new standard of mental healthcare that is both effective and accessible to all.
