Associate Product Manager (College Grad 2026)

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health

About The Role

This is a rare chance to learn product management from the inside out at one of the fastest-growing healthcare startups in the country. As an Associate Product Manager at Solace, you’ll help shape how millions of people experience healthcare while working side-by-side with designers, engineers, clinicians, and product leaders.

Your job is to help us make healthcare feel human again. You’ll research, organize, and test ideas, build new products, and help us launch faster. You don’t need years of experience, but you do need an innate ability to get things done.

This role is for the ambitious, the curious and those who don't shy away from feedback. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem and can’t resist solving it, keep reading.

This is an in person role in our Redwood City Office for college students graduating in 2026.

About Solace

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our U.S.-based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

What You’ll Do

• Learn what great Product looks like directly from people doing it every day.
• Bring bold ideas and (occasionally) watch them get destroyed in the name of better ones.
• Rapidly produce and launch concepts while laughing in the face of potential failure.
• Partner with engineers, designers, and clinicians to deliver meaningful improvements for patients and advocates.
• Keep projects moving forward, make sure deadlines are hit, and translate chaos into constant clarity.
• Test, document, and ship features that make Solace better every week.
• Grow your craft: learn how to write specs, analyze data, talk to users, and make smart product decisions.
  
  

What You Bring To The Table

• A bias toward action. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you thrive on timelines that would be unrealistic for most others. You want to build things and learn fast.
• Curiosity for how systems work.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a refined palate for controlled chaos.
• Unfettered creativity paired with confident communication. You can explain your thinking simply.
• A sense of care. You take pride in the details.
• Bonus: Experience working on projects, internships, or student teams where you had to organize, lead or ship something real.
  
  

Who We Are

We are a team of ambitious individuals who believe healthcare can be better, and we’re building the system that proves it. At Solace, you’ll learn faster than you thought possible, see your work make an immediate impact, and help change how people experience care in this country.

If that scares you, you will fail. But if it excites you, you could do well here.

Applicants must be based in the United States.
