This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can translate frontline, customer, and business needs into scalable products, workflows, and technology solutions. The Founding Product Lead will work closely with the COO, CTO, Operations, Customer Success, and GTM teams to define priorities and move products from early concept through launch and adoption.</span></p> <p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A key focus will be improving the systems and workflows that support Care Guide efficiency, member navigation, data quality, and customer reporting. This person will explore how AI, automation, voice technology, enhanced Salesforce functionality, and potentially proprietary tools can reduce administrative burden and support greater operational scale. The role will also help shape Upside’s employer-facing product as the company expands beyond government-sponsored programs. This role reports to the COO.</span></p> <p> </p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;
