We are seeking a Product Manager to join our team, helping us meet the increasing volume and complexity of assay launches. You’ll partner closely with our internal teams — spanning lab operations, bioinformatics, clinical, legal, reporting, and software engineering — to build and refine workflows that ensure timely, high-quality launches.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in cross-functional settings, enjoys translating ambiguous requirements into clear roadmaps, and is excited by the opportunity to own mission-critical launches from conception through delivery.
What You'll Do:
Launch Readiness & Execution
- Drive the planning and execution that supports assay launches, ensuring readiness across systems, workflows, and documentation.
- Collaborate with operations, lab systems, and bioinformatics to define requirements, identify bottlenecks, and implement scalable processes.
- Support risk mitigation strategies and contingency planning for live or upcoming launches.
Cross-functional Leadership
- Translate technical and scientific requirements into structured, implementable product plans.
- Serve as the connective tissue across pathologists, regulatory, engineering, customer systems, and reporting teams.
- Engage with Marketing and Commercial teams to gather insights that drive customer-centric experiences aligned with the forefront of scientific advancements.
- Represent product needs in cross-team forums and ensure alignment on dependencies and timelines.
Product Development & Optimization
- Collaborate with engineering on backlog prioritization, iteration planning, and UAT.
- Support and evangelize system enhancements that improve turnaround time for launching assays, reduce manual work, and enable broader assay capabilities.
- Leverage learnings from post-launch monitoring to propose and lead improvements to core assay infrastructure and tooling.
Documentation & Communication
- Maintain clear launch plans, decision logs, and requirements documentation.
- Communicate progress, blockers, and risks to stakeholders proactively and clearly.
- Champion transparent and repeatable documentation practices for all launches.
Qualifications:
- 3–5 years of product management or technical program management experience, preferably in healthcare, diagnostics, or life sciences.
- Strong execution mindset with proven ability to manage complex cross-functional projects.
- Comfort working with technical stakeholders and systems-level challenges.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in high-stakes or regulated contexts.
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a bias toward clarity and structure.
- Experience in launch planning or operational tooling.
- Background in biology, biomedical engineering, or life sciences is a plus but not required.
