You and your team will be critical to both the present implementation and the future design of Ribbon’s product.

• Passion and drive to simplify healthcare by building products that increase access to care and power every healthcare decision to be high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient
• Commitment to Ribbon Health company values, working on an exceptional team, and building an exceptional company
• Grit, hustle, desire, and a “get-it-done” attitude; strong comfort with a lean startup environment, where everyone is encouraged to participate in and contribute across all teams

• Ownership Mentality: You care deeply about making sure products just work in the real world and result in better healthcare decisions for patients. When you see a problem, you solve it or make sure someone else does by stepping in to help your team and offering creative solutions outside of the scope of your responsibilities.
• Excellent Communicator: You can explain complex technical concepts with clarity and simplicity, whether it is to an engineer or an executive.

Your day-to-day

• Player / Coach: You are a team lead and a PM on the team. You will be a culture builder that helps the team adopt best practices, while maintaining our start-up velocity and our laser focus on customers.

• Develop new products on the frontlines: You will identify customer pain points and product gaps, and collaborate with product and engineering teams to develop new products and product features. You are an investigative journalist who can see a problem, build and test prototypes quickly, and work with the rest of the engineering and product team to build for scale.
• Enable our go-to-market team: You will help Ribbon grow its revenue and impact by supporting sales and marketing efforts.
• Improve operations: You will identify opportunities to optimize repeated workflows and create scalable systems and tools for addressing customer needs
