About Marley Health
Marley Health is redefining proactive pet care through clinically validated biomarkers, wearable technology, and data-powered diagnostics. Spun out of the University of Oxford and the Royal Veterinary College, we’re building a connected ecosystem for pet health that empowers veterinarians, insurers, and pet parents alike.
The Role - Purpose
We’re looking for a hands-on, self-starting Product Manager to lead the development of our smart collar / clinical wearable device. This is a highly technical, delivery-focused role that blends product responsibility with practical involvement in the essentials of hardware development. You’ll work directly with the Marley Health team and our external partners to bring a best-in-class device to market.
What you’ll do – Key Responsibilities:
* Responsible for the end-to-end development of our smart collar, from concept to commercial launch
* Work directly with suppliers and manufacturers to manage hardware components, prototypes, and production timelines.
* Get hands-on with sensors, firmware, and hardware to help solve technical questions as they arise.
* Translate clinical, user, and business requirements into clear product specifications and development milestones.
* Test prototypes, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to product validation.
* Ensure hardware integrates effectively into our broader platform without losing sight of customer needs and speed to market.
* Maintain a high sense of urgency and responsibility—this role is about building, not managing.
* Build excellent communication channels and working relationships with all key stakeholders throughout the business and inside our partners’ organisations.
What We’re Looking For
Qualifications and experience
Must haves:
* Demonstrated experience (5+ years) in developing hardware products (wearables, IoT, MedTech, or similar) including an understanding of ergonomics and form factors.
* Practical knowledge of sensors, data capture, and the interplay between hardware and digital systems, including understanding of data processing from sensors and the challenges that involves.
* Experience managing and collaborating with external suppliers and manufacturers.
Nice to haves:
* Ideally you are production focused, you want to take the complex and make it seem simple, usable, engaging.
* Regulated industry experience (e.g., healthtech, medical devices) is a bonus, but not required.
* MSc in related field.
What you’ll bring
* A self-starter who is self-motivated, proactive, and thrives in an early-stage environment.
* Not afraid to roll up your sleeves – you enjoy working directly with the tech and solving real-world problems for real users.
* Ability to think strategically while straightening out the details.
* Motivated by impact and excited to help build a truly novel product from the ground up.
Why Join Us
* Build a product that sets a new clinical standard in pet health.
* Work alongside a mission driven, no ego team focused on execution and excellence.
* Make meaningful contributions every day – your work will directly shape our core product.
* Join a fast-moving company backed by top-tier investors and world class scientific expertise.
* Competitive salary + office space in London + 25 days holiday + company laptop & supporting tech + hybrid.
