About Power

Power is building a simpler path for patients to discover and understand clinical trials. The company focuses on helping people access promising new treatments, especially in areas such as depression and anxiety, while also making it easier for research to find the right participants. Today’s process is fragmented and often difficult for patients to navigate because the main government-run source is written in dense medical language. Power aims to make this experience clearer, more trusted, and more useful for patients.

On the research side, clinical trials are a major bottleneck in bringing new medicines to market: the process can take nearly 10 years, and more than 86% of clinical trials are delayed because they struggle to recruit enough participants. Power is working to remove that friction and help accelerate medical innovation.

The company has grown quickly, expanding by about 5x over the last year, and currently operates with a close-knit team of roughly 30 people.

Role overview

This is a broad, high-impact generalist role within the product organization. You will partner directly with a cofounder and move across the areas where the team needs the most leverage each week. Rather than owning one narrow function, you will jump into special projects end-to-end, helping the company learn, build, and move faster.

Examples of the work may include analyzing marketplace data to uncover product opportunities, creating internal tools and automations, investigating underperforming product flows, running user research, and replacing manual processes with scalable systems. The role is expected to evolve as you identify the places where you can create the most value.

What you may work on

• Use data analysis to spot opportunities in enrollment, retention, or operational efficiency, then turn those insights into actionable product ideas.
• Design and launch internal systems, tooling, and automations that help growth and operations teams work with less manual effort.
• Investigate product features and user flows from start to finish, including instrumentation, diagnosis, and recommendations for improvement.
• Conduct user testing with patients, nurses, and investigators to pressure-test ideas and feed findings back into the roadmap.
• Identify repetitive work across the product org and automate it so the team can scale more effectively.

What the team is looking for

The company does not enforce rigid job requirements, but the ideal candidate is a strong generalist who enjoys moving between different problems and learning quickly. You should be comfortable with ambiguity, able to act quickly without much structure, and motivated to ship practical solutions.

You should also be technical enough to work independently on data and lightweight systems: writing queries, building simple automations, and translating findings into clear next steps for stakeholders. The role calls for someone who can work independently, collaborate closely across functions, and balance speed, quality, and business impact.

Nice-to-have background

Helpful experience could include a personal connection to clinical research, familiarity with marketplace businesses, clinical research, or health tech, or prior experience as a founder or product leader. The team also values people who bring a distinct specialty or complementary perspective. An interest in topics such as sleep, nutrition, or supplements is also mentioned as a plus.

Additional information

The role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a full-time onsite position. The company is open to candidates who are earlier in their career, even though much of the broader team has 7+ years of experience. There are no fixed requirements listed, emphasizing fit for the type of work and the ability to create leverage across the product organization.
