Wellist: Product Manager

Boston, MA (Hybrid)

At Wellist, we’ve spent the last decade helping people navigate life’s most challenging moments. After building a track record of impact with leading health systems, we have successfully pivoted into the employer market and we are now scaling with large, global employers.

Our platform acts as an activation layer within the HR ecosystem, embedding precision matching capabilities so employees can find the right support at the right time, and employers can maximize the value of their benefit and resource investments.

This is a pivotal moment for Wellist. You’ll be joining a company with a proven product, a strong foundation, and the momentum of high-growth expansion. As our Product Manager, you will own Wellist’s product and technology strategy while building a more technology-enabled operating model that allows us to scale globally with greater quality, consistency, and impact.

You will be a true owner of the product and a close strategic partner to the CEO bringing rigor, judgment, and systems thinking to every decision.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
