What this position entails

Our R&D team tests the viability of new products and capabilities that drive revenue and operational efficiencies via software, data, and emerging technologies. We have a strong focus on delivering value - customer, operational, strategic, and learning - critical to the organization’s long-term success.

As a Product Manager, R&D, you’ll provide product leadership for our team’s experimentation end-to-end, from discovery to early adoption and transition. You’ll partner closely with engineering, data science, clinical, operational, and commercial teams to rapidly test the viability and impact of ideas.

You’ll combine strategic judgment with hands-on execution and help determine when experiments should be scaled, refined, handed off, or stopped. Success requires comfort with ambiguity, versatility, strong product judgment, and technical curiosity. If you love wearing multiple hats, thrive on creative problem-solving, and want your work to have a direct impact, this is the role for you.

• Self-motivated and adaptable, with the ability to take ownership, work independently, and collaborate effectively in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
