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.
Our offices are in Milan. We are open to working remotely with people based within ±1 hour CET; however, we value working together and will align on how to spend recurring time in person. This role is offered under an
Italian employment contract
.
👩🏼💻
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.
