## About Solace

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes. We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly. Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

## About the Role

As a Sr. Associate Product Manager at Solace, you will be responsible for developing and executing product initiatives that drive positive customer perception, experience, and retention. You are a self-starter interested in working on a broad set of in-house initiatives and taking on significant direct ownership responsibility. The Sr. Associate Product Manager is responsible for supporting engineering, design and product management across Solace’s products. This individual contributor role is for the ambitious, the curious and those who don't shy away from feedback. Hunger, and a desire to dedicate yourself fully to the mission is essential. You will report directly to one of our Product Managers.

This is an in-person role for MBA graduates in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week. Start date: July 2027.

## What You’ll Do

- Rapidly produce and launch concepts while laughing in the face of potential failure.
- Serve as the go-to liaison with cross-functional and creative partners. Define initiative-level roadmaps of supporting workstreams to ensure work delivers on goals and your deadlines are met.

- Learn and become a guardian of the Solace brand and user expectations, upholding standards and best practices across every touchpoint.

## What You Bring to the Table

- A bias toward action and execution. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you thrive on timelines that would be unrealistic for most others.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a refined palate for controlled chaos.
- Unfettered creativity.
- Intuition on what it takes to create delightful, consumer-oriented experiences to not only acquire customers, but retain them.
- Great communication skills that help you work across departments to make marketing visions come to life.

## Who We Are

## About Solace

## Company Overview

## Core Business

## Products & Services
- **Solace Advocacy Platform (Core Service)**: A service that pairs patients with a dedicated healthcare advocate—a registered nurse or care specialist with an average of 16+ years of experience. The advocate helps navigate diagnoses, coordinate care, understand insurance benefits (Medicare, commercial insurance), find specialists, schedule appointments, and manage continuity of care across different providers and systems (VA, private, Medicare). This service is covered by insurance (including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna) for eligible members.
- **American Legion Partnership**: A specialized program offering dedicated healthcare advocacy to veterans and their families, helping them navigate both VA and private healthcare systems.

- **Deep Veteran Focus**: A exclusive partnership with The American Legion gives them a unique and powerful distribution channel and brand credibility in the massive veterans' healthcare market.
- **Strong Traction & Funding**: Achieving unicorn status ($1B valuation) in just 4 years signals strong investor confidence and business model validation.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale the Advocate Network**: Hiring heavily for clinical roles (Lead Advocate, Associate Researcher) to meet growing demand.
- **Deepen Insurance Partnerships**: Expanding coverage to more commercial and government insurance plans to reach a wider patient base.
- **Expand Veteran Programs**: Capitalizing on the American Legion partnership to become the leading patient advocacy solution for veterans.

- **Fully Remote & Anti-Meeting Culture**: The company is a "productive, fully-remote team" with a strong "anti-meeting culture" that values asynchronous work and quality conversations. [solace.health]
- **High-Growth Environment**: With 562 employees and a 402% yearly headcount growth rate, this is an extremely fast-scaling startup. This offers significant career advancement opportunities but also requires adaptability and a bias for action.
- **Culture of Feedback & Excellence**: The company values "feedback as a gift" and has a "bias toward action," emphasizing learning from mistakes while holding a high standard for performance.
- **Vibrant Work Environment**: High employee rating on LinkedIn (4.5/5.0) with strong marks for Work-Life (4.2) and Compensation (4.3). [linkedin.com]
- **Culture of Beauty**: The company believes in "functional beauty" in all they build, from design to code, fostering a culture of quality and delight.
