We are hiring a Tech Lead to help build our female health proposition at Manual. It's an exciting opportunity to shape something 0 to 1, starting with expanding our Menopause proposition under the brand “Menopause Care”. Menopause symptoms are a massive problem. In the UK alone, there are about 10m eligible women, 400k become menopausal every year. 80% of menopausal women suffer from symptoms of falling oestrogen and testosterone. Despite its severity, the problem hasn’t been solved, yet. Only 15% of eligible women are on treatment and fewer than 300 advanced menopause specialists and inadequately trained doctors mean women are underserved.
As a Tech Lead, you’ll be leading a squad of 4 engineers (2 front-end, 2 back-end) alongside our Product Manager and Product Designer. You will be fundamental to how we set up and build our digital product in Female Health in a scalable, robust way, in order to not only become the best digital menopause proposition in the UK and beyond, but also expand into other segments of female health as part of our mission to help give people get more good years out of life.
