We are looking for a Product Manager to join our Development team in Helsinki, Finland.
TEAM STRUCTURE & WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
You will be a part of our Product team consisting of the Chief Product Officer (Albert), who is located in the US and one Product Manager (Veronica) and a second one in the US (Sarah).

You will also work closely with other internal stakeholders like Marketing professionals, Care Coordination team and program participants, therapists and coaches, who are located in the US.
You will have the opportunity to work in different stages of the customer lifecycle: Acquisition, Retention, Care Delivery and Upsell. At the moment we see that the acquisition journey could be the area where you begin. Focusing on the things such as onboarding, pricing strategies, and conversion.
As a Product Manager you will act as a translator between the business, the user needs and technical teams.
