As we scale rapidly, delivering exceptional consumer experiences across these digital health tools is central to our mission.

We are seeking a visionary Director / Associate Director of Product Management, Consumer Apps to support the strategy, development, and execution of our consumer companion app portfolio. This is a strategic role for a sharp problem-solver and skilled storyteller who can translate research and data into insight, and insight into influence, shaping product direction for our consumer-facing digital health applications.

What You Will Do:

Product Strategy and Roadmap

Partner with product leadership to help define future-state vision and roadmap for consumer companion apps. Prioritize investments based on consumer impact, health outcomes, and business goals, and ensure consistent delivery across the portfolio. Dig into research and data to extract meaningful insights, then craft clear, compelling narratives that make the "so what" obvious to stakeholders and influence product and strategic direction.

Team First Mentality

Embody a no-ego, team-first mentality in all interactions. Foster a collaborative culture that prioritizes shared success over individual recognition. Represent the product team with humility and integrity when engaging with business collaborators, third-party vendors, and technology collaborators.

Business Partnership Champion

Manage relationships with internal and external partners, including scoping work, tracking delivery timelines, and holding partners accountable to quality and roadmap commitments. Collaborate closely with design and engineering to ensure solutions are grounded in consumer needs, technically feasible, and aligned with the broader product experience. Champion the voice of the consumer in every product decision, using research, usage data, and qualitative insights to inform priorities.

User Experience and Design

Partner with user research to bring in findings that inform product decisions and post-launch iteration. Collaborate closely with UX and research to ensure app experiences are intuitive and frictionless, anticipating consumer needs before they arise. Advocate for design quality and accessibility throughout the product lifecycle.

Technical Collaboration and Standards

Collaborate with Business Analysts/Product Owners on requirements, workflows, and designs for new features, providing input as features move toward build and testing. Establish technical standards and ensure scalable, modular solutions that can flex with product expansion.

Stakeholder Engagement and Thought Leadership

Build and maintain strong relationships with collaborators. Communicate app performance, strategic direction, and improvement opportunities in a way that resonates with and influences stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership. Serve as the internal subject matter expert on consumer companion app best practices.

Operational Excellence and Resource Planning

Work closely with data and analytics teams to define and track in-market KPIs, asking the right questions of the data to uncover opportunities for improvement.
