The opportunity

Up to 60% of inpatient cases in Germany could be treated in an outpatient setting - at lower cost and often with equal or better outcomes. We're building the system that makes that the new default.

Hospital care in Germany is under structural strain. Two thirds of hospitals operate at a loss, most are stretched in staff, beds, and budgets. Meanwhile, modern surgery has moved on - many procedures that still mean an overnight stay no longer medically require one. The result: patients stay longer than they need to, infrastructure carries avoidable load, and the system absorbs costs it could avoid.

We're building a new generation of ambulatory surgery centres in Germany to change this. Software-driven from day one. Designed to get people back to their lives faster, and to make outpatient surgery the default - not the exception.

Our ambition: 1M+ outpatient surgeries per year, through our operated centres.

Our leadership team has built and scaled 5+ successful ventures, we're backed by top tech and healthcare investors, and with multiple clinical partners onboard we're ready to move fast.

The role

You take product ownership of our core platform - the orchestration engine that sits on top of existing clinic stacks and coordinates the entire care pathway end to end: patient intake, surgery, recovery, and daily operations. It connects digital patient journeys, on-site infrastructure, and a unified data layer into a production-grade system.

Greenfield. Built to work when a surgeon is standing in the operating room. Built to scale across 100+ clinics.

What this offers:

First product hire. Clear path to building, shaping, and leading the product organisation alongside the CPTO. Define a mission-critical product from the ground up.
Real ownership from day 1. You shape the vision, define the roadmap, own how the product behaves in real clinic environments, and drive end user change management. Expect to split time between product development - deciding what to build, for whom, and why - and hands-on field research in and out of the OR.
Strategic freedom by design. Strong hypothesis on what to build and when, but the final product roadmap is intentionally open and co-shaped with you.
"Full-stack" in the truest sense. Building and operating physical clinics - harder than a pure software play, but far more impactful.
Small, top-tier, high-trust team. Work side by side with the CPTO (serial tech founder, YCombinator alum, ex-McKinsey) and an experienced founder duo that has scaled multiple ventures to 400+ employees.

What you bring

Essential

Products with meaningful usage shaped in complex, real-world environments.
Ability to translate the messy reality of a care journey into an experience that feels genuinely different - for patients, providers, and the broader care team. From intake to post-op recovery: every touchpoint is yours to understand deeply and shape optimally.
Strategic thinker with an eye for design and comfort operating where product meets tech.
A strong pull toward learning - trajectory matters more than credentials.
Structured thinking, clear communication, and the ability to build trust quickly - whether with a surgeon, a nurse, or a patient.
High ownership, reliability, and a bias toward shipping with fast feedback loops.

Bonus

Prior experience with sensitive data or regulated environments where compliance is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
Healthcare or healthtech background.

Logistics

Berlin. On-site. Start ASAP.
Attractive compensation with meaningful equity upside.
German and professional English required.

We value judgment over process, clarity over complexity, and systems that work over systems that impress. If this resonates, let's talk.
