Summary

Optimi is a virtual first, interactive sport and exercise medicine platform, accessible via an app. The app makes it easy to reach sports medicine professionals and self management programmes for common muscle and joint conditions and exercise injuries. Our professionals are experts operating in international sport and our platform augments their expert care with advanced technologies and behavioural science to enable highly personalised and engaging treatment experiences.

About the company

We were founded with the belief that the advanced levels of care and the latest clinical research available to professional athletes should be accessible to us all, regardless of our athletic ability. Optimi exists to make this possible.

We are a member of Zinc VC’s 2020 portfolio and London Sport’s Sport-tech Innovation 2021 portfolio. Our focus for the next 6 months will be the completion of a number of pilots with the support of England Athletics, Harlequins Rugby Club Foundation, Bath University and the Centre for Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis Research. We will use these pilots to iterate our product with users before market entry. 

We have a close knit core team and advisory board, including the Chief Medical Officer of the Australian Rugby Team, the former COO of Google Europe, the founder of Microsoft’s Advanced Imaging Centre, and a former McKinsey’s Health Partner. We are all passionate about health, fitness and innovation and you’ll need to share this passion and be excited by the start up journey ahead.

Key responsibilities

This opportunity will suit a product manager who is looking to join a health-tech start up during its early stages and has a passion for user centric design. As an early member of the team, you will receive significant equity and will have the opportunity to shape the development of the business, especially the product vision. You’ll largely control your own working day and will have the freedom to build the product team as we scale. You’ll be responsible for the product planning and execution throughout the product lifecycle, from conception to release and will need to have excellent team and project management skills to operate across multiple business teams as we grow.
