Vynyl develops core software capabilities for leading companies and institutions in healthcare, finance, insurance, and other industries.
Role Overview
We are looking for someone who is excited about the work we’re doing to help drive our projects forward. The right person for this role will have a mix of business sense, technical sense, and common sense that you would expect to find at the intersection of great product managers, project managers, and account managers. As this role will be focused on our work in healthcare, the ideal candidate will have some understanding of the industry, whether in pharma, health insurance, digital health, wellness, or other.
As Product Manager, you'll often lead or be involved in the gathering, structuring, prioritizing, and communication of the information driving our clients’ product development. Occasionally, depending on client needs and other opportunities, your role could also involve agile project facilitation, client relationship management, and contributing to Vynyl’s community-focused initiatives.
Who We Are
At Vynyl, you will join a world class team excited about the problems we solve and the clients for whom we solve them. We’ll ensure that you find yourself growing in your career, solving new kinds of problems and learning from supportive management and mentors.
We are a largely distributed team. Some of your teammates work remotely, and you may have clients based in other locales. Your communication skills will be as important as your technical ones. Collaborating across time zones requires clear communication and coordination, via Slack, documentation, video calls and more.
We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. Vynyl is committed to building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best and most rewarding work of your career. We’ll be accepting applications on a rolling basis.
