Head of Product at Maisha Meds

At Maisha Meds, we believe all patients have a right to appropriate and effective healthcare. Across sub-Saharan Africa, private sector pharmacies play a major role in providing primary care, yet they remain largely separate from and unrecognized by the health system, lacking the technology, data, and support to make the highest quality healthcare widely accessible. Maisha Meds develops technology solutions that leverage the pharmacy point of sale to increase visibility up and down medication supply chains and ensure evidence-based care. Better information and insight enables pharmacies, suppliers, and medication manufacturers to track inventories, forecast drug demand, purchase quality medicines, and provide patient follow-up and advice.

About the Role

Maisha Meds is looking for an experienced, creative, and growth-oriented Head of Product to lead

the team to codify a product vision that will improve care for patients in low- and middle-income

With their team of engineers and designers, these products are presented for Maisha Meds’ network of pharmacies and clinics to support programs that drive patient access and behavior change.

Maisha Meds recently secured Stage 2 funding from USAID’s Development Innovation Ventures, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Grand Challenges Canada to test a more transparent and accountable model of delivery of global health funding. This model enables point of care

reimbursement for essential health products via mobile money, which has the potential to transform the fundamentals of health financing in low- and middle-income countries. They are looking for a strong leader and analytical thinker to help them build this into a flagship program demonstrating the potential of data-driven healthcare delivery for the bottom of the pyramid.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead product development

Identify channels to test, run test, perform customer segmentation analysis, and optimize channels and presence.
Partner with business analytics and data science to generate insights and use them to make operations more intelligent, with the goal to improve user satisfaction and increase retention.

Build processes

Develop a roadmap: Establish and maintain an integrated company product roadmap through collaboration with key stakeholders, the CEO, performance against targets, and through deep customer research
Prioritize resources and considering tradeoffs: Develop the frameworks needed to prioritize, resources against opportunities through agile best practices and evaluate value delivered, customer acceptance, and impact
Measure success: Measurement and optimization of key process indicators around product delivery, team engagement and value creation
Help them develop best-practices: With the CTO, implement and optimize agile processes and move their team towards two-week sprints for product development

Strengthen their team

Recruit: Recruit and retain a stellar team across technology, product management, clinical innovation, impact study design, UX/UI design and population health strategy
Coach and educate: Invest in and oversee talent management of the team including career-pathing, coaching, and establishing a highly-engaged product culture

Product Management: Technology product management in high growth, cloud-based enterprise environments. Delivery of MVP + Iterations, lean/agile approaches and fluency with different models for tech delivery.
