Founding Product Manager

Compensation: $150K – $200K • 0.5% – 1.5% • Multiple Ranges

ABOUT KLARIFY

Backed by Y Combinator, with $1.7M in funding, Klarify helps more than 11,000 therapists every day with their notes and their practice.

Therapists train for years to help people, then spend their evenings writing notes, marketing their practice and chasing insurance. Klarify does that work for them, so they can spend their time on clients. Therapists write to tell us it gave them time back with their families.

Moody (CEO) started Klarify after therapy changed his life, and after his own therapist asked to use the note-taker he was building.

THE PRODUCT AND VISION

Today, therapists use Klarify to:

• Turn a session into a draft clinical note

• Ask Klara, our AI assistant, questions about their sessions, or have it draft a letter or treatment plan

• See a visual map of the themes across a client's sessions

• Get found by new clients through profiles and blog posts built for Google and ChatGPT

Notes were the start. We're building one place that runs the whole business side of a therapy practice: notes, marketing, billing, insurance and admin. We want to automate everything a therapist does except the therapy itself.

THE ROLE

You'd join Moody (CEO), Bergie (CTO) and Zach (founding engineer) as one of our first hires. You'll own product and work directly with the CEO, with a focus on adoption and expansion: helping every therapist get more value from Klarify. Therapists have full caseloads and little time to learn new software, so the best version of every feature is the simplest one.

• Own the roadmap and each feature end to end. Decide what we build next using customer research and product data, and make sure it works before it ships.

• Lead customer discovery. Talk to therapists every week and learn from the hundreds of customer calls we've had.

• Own support, the fastest way to learn our customers. Fix the cause, not just the ticket.

• Drive adoption. Your first project is helping more therapists discover and use the parts of Klarify they aren't using yet, starting with Klara.

• Build privacy in from the first sketch, working with the CTO, who owns security and compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PIPEDA, PHIPA and Quebec's Law 25).

• Prototype and ship. Design with AI tools and our design system, build prototypes and internal tools with Claude Code and open small pull requests that our engineers review.

• Set success metrics for what we launch, run experiments and follow up until you know what worked.

• Pitch in on whatever a small company needs, from a vendor contract to a conference booth.

For your first few months you'll make most product decisions together with the CEO. You'll own more as you get to know our customers.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of product management experience at modern early-stage startups, or as part of a founding team

• You're AI native. You use AI tools every day and have built something real with them.

• You have an eye for UX and can make complicated things feel simple

• You're comfortable prototyping and opening small pull requests

• You've changed a roadmap because of what customers told you

• You're authorized to work in the US or Canada. We can't sponsor a visa right now.

• Strongly preferred: you're in San Francisco and can work hybrid

• Nice to have: you've worked in healthcare, mental health or another regulated industry

WHAT YOU GET

• Work directly with the founder of a modern, fast-growing Y Combinator company

• $150K to $200K USD in the US, or $140K to $180K CAD in Canada, plus 0.5% to 1.5% equity. You choose the mix of salary and equity.

• Mission-driven work that helps thousands of people with their mental health, by giving their therapists time back
