Senior Product Manager – Health AI Startup, Equity Upside in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Career trajectory: This is a high-leverage Senior PM role at an early-stage AI health startup founded in 2024. You'd be among the earliest product hires, shaping the roadmap from scratch — ideal for PMs who want to move from executor to strategist and eventually VP/CPO track.
Skills you'll build:
- Healthcare AI product management — one of the most in-demand and specialized PM niches globally
- Regulated product experience (FDA SaMD, CE marking) — rare and highly marketable
- Clinical stakeholder management with oncologists and nuclear medicine physicians
- AI/ML product thinking where model behavior drives UX decisions
Compensation signals: No salary is listed, which is common for early-stage startups. Market rate for Senior PMs in health-AI in Europe ranges €80,000–120,000, and in the US $140,000–180,000. The equity emphasis suggests below-market cash may be offset by meaningful upside — worth negotiating explicitly.
Green flags: Venture-backed, mission-driven, global partnerships (US, EU, Australia), small team with real autonomy, and a massive TAM in radioligand therapy and oncology AI.
Yellow flags: Founded in 2024 — very early stage means high uncertainty, limited process maturity, and potential pivots. No mention of team size or current PM structure. The role requires broad ownership across regulatory, clinical, and commercial areas — demanding for a single PM.
Best fit for: PMs with 3–6 years B2B/technical experience eager to specialize in health-AI and willing to take calculated startup risk for significant equity upside.
Headquarters: Berlin, BE, Germany
About Nucs AI
Nucs AI is revolutionizing cancer care through cutting-edge AI and medical imaging technology. Founded in 2024 by a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, AI researchers, and healthcare innovators, we're tackling one of medicine's most pressing challenges: the growing demand for accurate, timely cancer diagnostics in the face of rising scan volumes and limited radiologist capacity.
We sit at the intersection of diagnostics and treatment planning—building AI-powered tools at the convergence of medical imaging, radioligand therapy, and artificial intelligence. Starting with prostate cancer and expanding across oncology, we partner with world-leading medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies across the US, Europe, and Australia to bring precision oncology into everyday clinical practice.
Our mission is to enhance diagnostic precision and expand access to expert-level cancer care, improving patient outcomes worldwide. We're venture-backed, early-stage, and building a team that blends deep clinical expertise with engineering intensity—moving with the rigor the medical field demands and the speed the problem deserves.
The Opportunity
Nucs AI is looking for a Senior Product Manager who thrives at the intersection of complex technology and specialized end-users. You will own critical parts of our product roadmap, translating deep clinical and technical requirements into clear product direction, then driving execution across data, engineering, regulatory, and commercial areas. This is not a role where you manage a feature backlog in isolation; you will be expected to build conviction around what we should build, why, and in what order, and to defend that thinking rigorously.
What You'll Do
Product Development Support
Own the roadmap for one or more product lines (e.g., DeepPSMA, SelectPSMA, TrackPSMA), balancing clinical impact, technical feasibility, and business value.
Engage directly with clinicians, nuclear medicine physicians, and oncologists to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and decision-making processes.
Translate ambiguous, technically complex problems into well-structured product requirements and clear success criteria.
Develop and articulate a clear product narrative: why this feature matters, who it serves, and how it connects to the broader platform vision.
Navigate the regulatory landscape (FDA, CE marking) as a stakeholder — you do not need to be a regulatory expert, but you must understand how regulatory requirements shape product decisions and timelines.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Drive cross-functional execution with engineering, AI/ML, clinical, regulatory, and commercial stakeholders, keeping a small team moving fast without sacrificing quality.
Contribute to go-to-market strategy, positioning, and customer enablement alongside commercial and clinical teams.
Analytics & Insights
Define and track meaningful product metrics; use data and user feedback to inform iteration and prioritization decisions.
What You Bring
3–6 years of product management experience in a B2B or technical environment building products for specialized, professional users (not purely consumer products).
Demonstrated ability to manage complex products where the user base has deep domain expertise, e.g., enterprise software, developer tools, scientific instruments, industrial platforms, or similar.
Strong conceptual and systems thinking. You can see the big picture, connect disparate inputs into a coherent product thesis, and reason about second-order effects. You don't just execute — you think.
Startup or high-growth experience. You have worked in an environment where speed, ambiguity, and wearing multiple hats were the norm, not the exception.
Excellent communication skills. You can write clearly, present a compelling argument, and facilitate productive discussions with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfort with technical depth. You do not need to write code, but you should be able to engage meaningfully with engineers and data scientists on architecture, data, and tradeoff discussions.
Intellectual curiosity and learning agility. You pick up new domains quickly and enjoy becoming a quasi-expert in areas you previously knew nothing about.
Bonus Points
Experience in healthcare, medtech, health-AI, or a regulated industry.
Familiarity with medical imaging, oncology workflows, or clinical decision support.
Experience working with AI/ML-driven products where model behavior shapes the user experience.
Exposure to FDA 510(k), De Novo, or CE marking processes for software as a medical device (SaMD).
