About the Role
As the Senior Director, Global Product Strategy & Product Management, you will serve as a senior global leader responsible for the company's multi-year product strategy and portfolio direction. Reporting directly to the SVP, Chief Medical & Marketing Officer, you will translate the enterprise's strategic vision into clear, actionable product priorities and roadmaps. You will lead and mentor the global Product Strategy and Product Management teams, ensuring a high-performance culture grounded in clinical and customer focus, innovation, and operational excellence.
In this capacity, you will act as a thought partner to executive leadership, advising on portfolio trade-offs, investment decisions, and long-term growth opportunities to maintain the company's competitive edge. The role requires a unique blend of strategic foresight and executional discipline—the ability to envision where our product portfolio should be heading in 3, 5, and 10 years, coupled with the leadership to ensure our current product development efforts are aligned with those long-term goals.
You will ensure that product strategy provides the guiding context in which product management operates, while product management executes to achieve timely, high-quality product launches that meet market needs. This leader will drive end-to-end product lifecycle success—from upfront portfolio strategy and innovation, through product development and launch, to post-market management and customer adoption.
