About Thalamus

Our mission is to help the right doctors practice at the right hospitals to treat the right patients. We leverage a passion for technology, medical education, equity, and data-driven research to optimize physician recruitment, starting with the medical residency recruitment process.

Our philosophy is that the opportunity to practice medicine in an ideal environment should be accessible to all, and ample medical research has shown that this results in patients getting better healthcare outcomes overall. We built a comprehensive interview management platform, backed by evidence-based research, to innovate, streamline, and optimize the residency recruitment process.

 

As the Director of Product Management at Thalamus, you will help guide product strategy and execution for our expansion into the physician recruitment space. Initially reporting directly to the CEO/Interim Head of Product (and eventually CPTO), you will oversee a team of product managers and collaborate closely with cross-functional leaders in engineering, design, marketing, sales, and customer experience to drive innovation and deliver impactful solutions.

This role is a unique opportunity to shape the future of physician recruitment by building intuitive, data-driven products that solve complex challenges for physicians and health systems, downstream from Thalamus’s current market in graduate medical education, program directors, coordinators, applicants, and institutional leaders. You will develop and execute a forward-thinking product roadmap, informed by market insights, user feedback, and emerging technologies, including AI and data analytics.

At Thalamus, we value collaborative leadership, bold thinking, and a commitment to our mission of ensuring the right doctor ends up at the right hospital to treat the right patients. If you are passionate about driving product excellence, leading high-performing teams, and making a meaningful impact in healthcare, we invite you to join us on our journey to "Connect the Docs."

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
