In this onsite Singapore-based role, you will partner closely with engineering, R&D, program management, and commercial teams across a large global matrix organization.

You will own the software product lifecycle—from early concept definition, requirements development, and roadmap planning to sustaining engineering, enhancements, and end-of-life decisions. You will also play a critical role in NPI execution, ensuring products meet customer needs, align with business goals, and are successfully launched into the market.

Key Responsibilities

Product Lifecycle Management (Primary Focus)

• Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of qPCR software products, including roadmap updates, sustaining activities, improvements, and retirement planning.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to prioritize defect resolution, feature updates, and usability improvements.

• Ensure product documentation, release notes, and support materials remain accurate and current.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

• Collaborate with R&D, Program Management, and Instrument Product Management to drive NPI activities for qPCR software.

• Translate customer needs and VOC insights into actionable product requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria.

• Support validation, readiness activities, launch planning, and cross-functional alignment to ensure successful commercialization.

Customer & Market Insight

• Collect and analyze VOC from customers, field teams, and internal stakeholders to understand priority needs and workflow pain points.

• Evaluate market trends, competitor offerings, and technology developments relevant to qPCR software.

• Champion customer experience throughout the development cycle.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work effectively within a large, matrixed organization, influencing without direct authority.

• Coordinate closely with engineering, quality, operations, regional commercial teams, and global partners.

• Provide clear communication, regular status updates, and issue escalation as needed.

Go-to-Market Enablement

• Support development of product positioning, value propositions, and customer-facing materials.

• Contribute to sales training, launch readiness, and post-launch performance analysis.

Required Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD in Life Sciences, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field.

• 3+ years of relevant experience in software product management or technical product roles.

• Proven experience managing product lifecycle activities and supporting new product introductions.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and commercial environments.

• Demonstrated ability to gather VOC, define requirements, and drive cross-functional alignment.

• Experience operating in a highly matrixed organization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in software development, digital systems, or scientific/analytical software.

• Understanding of qPCR workflows, molecular biology, or related laboratory processes.

• Experience with product launches, roadmap planning, and portfolio management.

• Ability to work with urgency, manage multiple projects, and deliver measurable results.
