🚀 Build the future of employee leave
We’re tackling the complex world of employee leave. Today, it’s fascinating and baffling how complicated the process is: going on leave (be it parental, medical, bereavement, or for any other reason) means talking to reps and wading through a mountain of government and insurance claims just to get your time off and income in moments when you’re the most stressed and busy. We talked to hundreds of employees and employers who had nightmare stories to tell, and wondered to ourselves why nobody had solved this yet.
Our mission is to take the work out of leave — removing all of the friction that exists today for both employees and employers — and be the #1 advocate for folks going through the process. It’s a really exciting space, and we’re moving incredibly fast on both product and user momentum.
Excited about taking the most frustrating insurance, banking, and finance processes out there and making them surprisingly delightful? We’d love to work with you.
💪🏽 What will you do?
As an early product manager at Cocoon, you will be building products that will impact the most emotional time of an employee’s experience: when an employee goes on leave. Leave is a complicated experience, from reviewing and understanding whether you’re eligible to go on leave, to figuring out how to apply for claims and understanding where you’ll get paid.
You will own a large product scope and ship multiple 0-1 products. You’ll have a hand in shaping what it means to build products at Cocoon, how we collaborate cross functionally, and how we deliver value to our customers. You’ll work closely with engineers, designers, legal, GTM teams, and operations to build an opinionated product for how employers compliantly administer leave for employees.
⚡️ You’d be a great fit if you…
- Are comfortable translating complex problems to simple solutions: Leave management is inherently a compliance product, this means that you need to be comfortable navigating working with legal counsel and compliance. You’ll build a software product iteratively and stay scrappy.
- Have experience building 0 to 1 products: We are building a software driven product in a traditionally service driven space. You will need to take lots of requirements and ruthlessly prioritize to deliver value quickly in each MVP
- Are customer obsessed: We want to design and build a product that alleviates stress for our users and empowers them to focus on the things in life that matter, whether it’s a new baby or a sick family member. You know how to incorporate qualitative feedback and quantitative data into your products
- Are highly collaborative: We’re a small but mighty team moving extremely quickly and our superpower is being able to collaborate across teams to ship really well thought out products and experiences for our users. You’ll play a large role in defining our product roadmap and designing solutions to some of the hairiest problems in the leave space
