The ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional leadership, strategic foresight, and analytical acumen, with a proven track record of driving large-scale, cross- functional initiatives. You will serve as a key organizational leader, collaborating closely with executive leadership across Marketing, R&D, Engineering, Data science and Product Design to maximize market impact and drive product development.

Partner with Sales, KOLs, and physician customers to identify opportunities for new products as well as improvements and modifications to existing product lines, serving as the voice of the customer throughout the product lifecycle. Test underlying assumptions to strengthen the case for an opportunity and develop business case, including pricing and margin analysis. Determine resources needed to bring opportunity to market. Drive toward a clear go/no-go decision.
• Roadmap definition: Define key timelines and milestones for new product development. Identify critical decision points and ensure decisions are made in a timely fashion. Ensure that new product opportunities fit synergistically into the overall company roadmap for new products and ensure adequate support.
• Drive action: Champion organizational alignment to drive adoption and implementation of roadmap. Partner with Product Design to hand off approved opportunities for detailed requirements and UI/UX definition, and support R&D Engineering, and Data Science as they develop the product. Remain the strategic-level subject matter expert on product opportunity and business case, and the escalation point for major roadmap and scope trade-offs. Partner with Clinical Affairs on clinical study design and evidence generation strategy for products under development.

• Familiarity: with FDA regulatory pathways (e.g. 510(k)) and clinical evidence requirements.
• Leadership Skills: Proven experience managing cross-functional initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
• Analytical Excellence: Exceptional analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to transform complex datasets into executive-level strategic directives.
