Virta is the first company with a clinically-proven treatment to safely and sustainably reverse type-2 diabetes without the use of medications or surgery. Our innovations in nutritional biochemistry, data science and digital tools combined with our clinical expertise are shifting the diabetes treatment paradigm from management to reversal. Our mission: reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people by 2025.
Virta’s rapid growth means that our product team is also growing, and we are looking for seasoned product leaders to join our mission-driven team in two different focus areas to maximize the impact Virta can have in any given population.
(1) Growth: Lead our product efforts for the top of the patient funnel, all the way from driving applications through early stages of the Virta treatment. You’ll start with our existing enrollment product and rethink the build from the ground up. You’ll own key product surfaces including questionnaires, content, and tools (used by our internal team of enrollment advisors) to optimize our application and enrollment funnel.
(2) Diabetes Management: Lead product efforts for our recently launched Diabetes Management product to quickly learn, test, and iterate. You’ll start with our early pilot customers and prepare for a broader product launch in January 2022. You’ll own key product experiences to maximize the impact Virta can have on members at any stage of their health journey, including connected devices, content journeys, and care team tools.
In either focus area, you’ll partner closely with our marketing, operations, clinical, and customer success teams to develop experiences for users that seamlessly blend human input with software and hardware. The product areas you own and the features you ship will help Virta drive increased adoption, engagement, and outcomes for our users.
