Job description

• • Own the product roadmap and platform backlog, including feature intake, prioritization, grooming, and readiness, ensuring alignment with business goals, customer needs, technical strategy, and delivery capacity
• • Translate roadmap priorities into executable plans by defining quarterly objectives, developing coordinated delivery plans, and maintaining backlogs that connect long‑range strategy to day‑to‑day execution
• • Drive end‑to‑end execution of cross‑functional R&D initiatives by tracking work against commitments, managing dependencies and risks, and ensuring predictable delivery across the product development lifecycle—from concept through design transfer and release
• • Lead planning, tracking, and execution cadence using Agile and program management practices (e.g., sprint planning, reviews, dependency management), leveraging these mechanisms to implement the roadmap rather than serving as a dedicated Scrum Master or standalone Program Manager
• • Partner closely with engineering, product management, clinical, and functional leaders to align scope, priorities, and timelines, proactively surface tradeoffs, and resolve execution blockers
• • Use data and metrics to inform decisions and course‑correct, including tracking delivery health, milestone progress, and key performance indicators related to scope, schedule, quality, and risk
• • Communicate clearly and proactively with leadership and partners, providing regular updates on roadmap progress, execution status, risks, and mitigation plans to support timely, informed decision‑making

Requirements

• Minimum bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) or equivalent experience in engineering or scientific field
• Minimum 8+ years of professional work experience in product development
• Minimum 4 years in engineer, program or product management
• Experience working on complex systems or in complex, dynamic teams
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to work effectively with teams
• Experience in 'Organizational Change' and 'Conflict Resolution'
• Software and/or Hardware development experience
• The skills for motivating and influencing others without direct authority
• A passion for experimentation, with a proactive approach to problem‑solving, strong critical thinking, and an eagerness to learn
• Able to work independently and be self‑motivated and results driven
• Experience launching a new product is a plus
• Project Management Certification (e.g., FPX, PMP) and/or Scrum Master Certification (e.g., CSM, PSM I, PMI‑ACP)
• Experience working in the regulated industry such as healthcare, aerospace, pharmaceutical, automotive
• Experience with Jira, Smartsheet, Airtable, other database and work planning tools
• People Management experience
