Foundry is Simplyhealth’s venture incubator and strategic business development unit, investing millions into new health businesses to accelerate the shift towards predictive and preventative care. Sitting at the intersection of healthcare, technology and financial services, Foundry exists to identify high‑potential opportunities, build the business cases that secure investment, and then prove them out through rapid execution.
We’re looking for a Product Manager to lead validation for new healthcare ventures from day one. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role, focused less on delivering software projects and more on building evidence‑backed businesses. You’ll be accountable for shaping what gets built, how it gets tested, and whether an opportunity is proven, scaled or stopped.
Reporting to the Head of Foundry, you’ll work embedded in small, specialist product squads combining product, design, engineering, research and commercial expertise. You’ll run fast, hypothesis‑driven validation cycles — defining problems, prioritising ruthlessly, coordinating delivery of MVPs, and gathering insight from real users to inform decisions.
This role sits at the heart of Foundry’s venture engine. You’ll operate in ambiguous, early‑stage problem spaces, balancing user value, technical feasibility and commercial sustainability. You’ll also contribute directly to business modelling, pricing tests and unit economics, ensuring that product decisions are always grounded in commercial reality.
Success in this role comes from clarity of thinking, comfort with uncertainty, and the ability to turn insight into action quickly. It’s a role for someone who thrives on ownership, pace and learning — and who wants to help shape the future of healthcare services in the UK.
