About this role
General Medicine has raised $120M in Series B funding to build the healthcare store.The round was led by Vineeta Agarwala, MD, PhD, of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and is the largest investment to date from a16z's bio + health team. Read the announcement.
Healthcare needs a store. People should be able to see prices, understand their options, and get advice from clinicians as easily as they shop for anything else. That's what we're building, and this Series B will help us expand the store and reach more customers across the United States.

If this sounds interesting, we're hiring. Help us build the store.
About General MedicineGeneral Medicine is building a healthcare store that makes it delightfully simple to access the best care in the world. We make it easy for customers to shop for any product or service in healthcare, compare upfront cash and insurance prices, understand if the service is right for them and purchase it.
Behind that simplicity is complex infrastructure: payer integrations, pricing logic, eligibility systems, reconciliation workflows, and financial rails. We're building the system that makes transact-able healthcare possible.
The RoleWe're hiring a VP / Head of Product to build our product function from the ground up. This is the founding product leadership seat: you'll set how we roadmap, how we prioritize, how ideas get pitched and greenlit, and how product and engineering work together, before writing most of that playbook yourself.
This role reports directly to the CEO and sits on the senior leadership team.
You'll own the roadmap across consumer experience, clinical/provider tooling, and pricing and payer infrastructure, allocating engineering capacity across these areas. You will drive priorities and build alignment across the CEO, Medical Director, and senior leadership team.
What You'll DoBuild the function
Establish the product org: hiring, processes, review cadences, and operating rhythms
Establish how we write specs, define success metrics, run experiments, and decide what to build next
Define complex initiatives—such as new consumer experiences, payer integrations, or clinical workflows. Turn those into execution plans with clear owners.
Own the roadmap
Set and evolve a product roadmap across multiple focus areas at once, balancing consumer experience, clinical delivery, and the pricing and payer infrastructure underneath both
Allocate engineering capacity and justify trade-offs across competing priorities
Balance near-term delivery with core architecture and infrastructure needs
Sell the vision
Develop business cases for proposed features, including resource needs, expected outcomes, and timing
Champion initiatives with the CEO, Medical Director, CFO, and VP Engineering
Communicate product strategy internally to cross-functional teams and externally to partners, payers, and investors
Ship
Write specs, review designs, and resolve day-to-day blockers for engineering
Partner with engineering leadership on sprint planning, sequencing, and capacity estimation using customer and care-team insights
What We're Looking ForYou have founder or early product leadership experience taking products from 0 to 1. You have acquired initial users, pitched stakeholders, and established core operational workflows in ambiguous environments.
Specifically:
You've built and shipped a product from 0 to 1, whether as a founder, an early product hire, or in a similarly ownership-heavy role
Demonstrated ability to build data-backed business cases and secure buy-in from leadership
You've managed a roadmap across more than one workstream at a time and made real tradeoffs about where limited engineering capacity goes
You've built product process and team structure from scratch rather than inheriting it
You come from a startup background and are comfortable with ambiguity, thin resourcing, and moving fast
Clear written and verbal communication skills to align engineering, clinical, and business stakeholders
Nice to have:
Healthcare, healthtech, or another regulated-industry background
Experience in a marketplace or two-sided business model
A quantitative or technical background that lets you go deep with engineering when needed
This is a hybrid role in SF
How We WorkCustomer obsessed: We stay close to real needs through thoughtful research and continuous feedback from our care teams - the same instinct that shapes how you'll sequence and ship the roadmap above.
Design led & data informed: We seek simplicity, ship craftsmanship, and validate with data.
Operationally grounded: We build tools that make our care teams faster and more accurate, not just prettier.
