A Day in The Life Of:

As a Senior Principal Product Manager, you will connect with patients, clinicians, and care teams to better understand their needs and validate opportunities to improve outcomes across connected device, cloud, mobile, and enterprise solutions. You will partner closely with engineering, quality, regulatory, security, operations, and commercial stakeholders to align priorities, make critical trade-off decisions, and ensure work delivers the highest patient, clinical, and business value.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and communicate a clear product vision grounded in patient and clinician workflows, clinical outcomes, and system interoperability (device, cloud, mobile, enterprise); ensure that vision translates into prioritised, executable work.
• Establish and maintain a repeatable customer discovery cadence, synthesizing customer insights into opportunity briefs, roadmap priorities, and backlog decisions, while ensuring evidence and decisions remain traceable.
• Lead continuous discovery with patients, clinicians, and care teams; use evidence, data, and post-market signals to validate problems and solutions while managing risk - and convert insights into refined initiatives, epics, and features ready for delivery.
• Own a KPI scorecard for assigned products, including defining success metrics, reviewing results on a regular cadence, identifying outcome gaps, and adjusting roadmap priorities based on product performance.
• Apply and champion a standardized prioritization framework, documenting trade-off decisions and ensuring priorities remain transparent, evidence-based, and aligned with customer, business, and platform objectives.
• Own and prioritise the product backlog end-to-end; writes clear problem statements, acceptance criteria, and value hypotheses; ensures work is sequenced to maximize patient, clinical, and business impact.
• Set priorities and make explicit trade-offs across safety, reliability, operations, technology, time, and investment; makes real-time scope decisions during execution while remaining accountable for outcomes and learning when targets are missed.
• Own the full device + digital lifecycle, including modernisation, technical debt reduction, component obsolescence, and global phase-in/phase-out planning; balances new value creation with sustainment and platform health.
• Serve as the single, accountable voice of value for the team; partners closely with engineering, quality, regulatory, security, operations, and commercial teams to ensure clarity of intent, readiness of requirements, and fast decision velocity.
• Actively participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, refinement, reviews); accepts or rejects completed work against defined criteria; ensures increments meet safety, regulatory, and quality expectations before release.
• Define success metrics and mechanisms; uses dashboards, reviews, telemetry, and post-release learning to continuously adjust backlog priorities and improve reliability, adoption, and patient impact.
• Enable adoption at scale by ensuring launch readiness, supply continuity, and clear “before/after” value for internal and external stakeholders; ensures operational readiness is reflected in backlog priorities.
• Translate department and business goals into outcome-based OKRs; own the roadmap as a living execution plan tied to measurable outcomes - not a static list of features.

Required Qualifications:

• Requires an Honours Bachelor’s degree and minimum of 10 years of product management experience (or equivalent), including direct backlog ownership and delivery accountability for complex device and digital products.
• Proven experience owning outcomes, roadmaps, and prioritized backlogs for regulated, safety-critical, and/or global products.
• Demonstrated experience working alongside other product team roles in Agile environments by writing epics and stories, defining acceptance criteria, participating in sprint ceremonies, and formally accepting delivered increments.
• Strong ability to make explicit trade-offs across safety, quality, scope, time, cost, and technical debt with accountability for results.
• Experience leading empowered, cross-functional teams by influence in a matrixed, global organization.
• Strong customer and patient centricity paired with data-driven decision making, including use of telemetry, post-market signals, and field feedback.
• Domain fluency across software (cloud, mobile, enterprise) and/or embedded systems, enabling credible collaboration with engineering and architecture on feasibility and sequencing decisions.
• Experience translating business and clinical goals into measurable outcomes and tying those outcomes to roadmap and sprint-level execution.
• Demonstrated success launching and scaling products globally, including operational readiness, supply continuity, and lifecycle management.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, capable of articulating vision, trade-offs, and value clearly to technical, clinical, and executive audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate AI/ML capabilities and translate them into strategic product requirements while maintaining safety, regulatory compliance, and clinical standards

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience operating within global regulatory and quality frameworks (FDA, EU MDR, ISO 13485), including leading design reviews, risk assessments, and audit interactions.

• Demonstrated track record embedding cybersecurity, privacy, reliability, and safety-by-design principles into product architecture and backlog decisions.

• Financial and business experience, including stakeholder ownership of business cases, P&L influence, ROI modelling, and multi-year investment trade-offs.

• Relative experience scaling modern product operating models across organizations - continuous discovery, empowered teams, platform strategies, API ecosystems, and interoperability standards (e.g., FHIR).

• Relative experience managing global product portfolios across multiple regions, including phased market introductions, supply continuity, obsolescence planning, and commercial alignment.

• Understanding of how AI changes care delivery, including business model implications for connected health products.

• Familiarity with regulatory and reimbursement frameworks for AI/ML as a medical device.
