About Manta Cares

Navigate your cancer journey confidently. Free Cancer Maps, tools, and expert resources for breast & lung cancer patients, survivors, and care partners. Backed by Pear VC.

About the role

We have built a beloved patient base and a proprietary clinical map of the cancer experience, the most comprehensive representation of the entire cancer experience, from diagnosis through survivorship, built with more than 100 medical professionals and thousands of patients and care partners. Hope, our AI companion, is grounded on that map, and it is not a generic chatbot.

What they're looking for

  • Product ownership (6+ years): you have set a roadmap, run a backlog, sequenced and shipped, and cut things people wanted. You are a product owner, not a designer, not an engineer
  • Engineering literacy: you are credible with strong engineers, can diagnose what is happening with velocity, and can push back technically without being steamrolled
  • User-centered product sense: you start from desirability and turn it into clear UX decisions. Design-literate
  • Commercial translation: you turn a pharma or partner ask into a product, and AI is already part of how you work
  • Data-driven and first-principles: you reason from first principles, run experiments, and own outcomes rather than output. Comfortable moving fast and navigating ambiguity at an early-stage company
More about this role

Product | Manta Cares | Hybrid, San Francisco Bay Area | Reports to the CEO

Navigating cancer is like embarking on a treacherous hike without a map, gear, or guide. Manta Cares is a beloved AI patient app. We support cancer patients & their families through every one of the 500+ decisions that they will navigate. We were founded by a cancer survivor who lived the problem firsthand. She first built a paper-based planner that helped thousands of patients navigate treatment, and those learnings became the foundation for everything we build today.

We are a digital health company founded and led by cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and oncologists. We’re already partnering with several top life sciences companies (e.g., Gilead, Novartis), and healthcare systems. Our platform is trusted by four of the top 15 pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our team brings over 50 years of combined healthcare experience, with backgrounds at McKinsey, BCG, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, IDEO, and ASCO. Backed by top-tier venture funds including Pear Ventures, Sozo Ventures, and 1843 Capital.
