Product Manager

Hey 👋 Thanks for considering us :)

Bearable, the leading comprehensive health tracker specifically for people with health issues (500k+ users), is looking for a product manager to join its mission to make health optimisation accessible for everyone and to help people both manage and prevent chronic diseases.

We help people with health issues to experiment and learn how their lifestyle habits and treatments correlate with their health and wellbeing.  Enable a person to make informed choices based on their own data to improve their own health, repeat many times across many people, and it adds up to a global-scale result.

You would be our first product hire, working directly with James, the founder, who came up with the idea for Bearable after dealing with his own health issues and feeling frustrated that he had to juggle 6 different apps to stay on top of all health aspects and habits, especially as it meant missing out on interesting patterns.

We are a fully remote, purpose-driven team on a mission to help 100 million people to feel more in control of their health and wellbeing through self-care.

We are VC and angel backed (including most recently, the former CTO of Coinbase) and now well suited for growth and for making Bearable the most versatile and intelligent health tracker in the world!

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, reach out, we'd love to meet you!
