Job Description

Translate portfolio strategy and direction into platform priorities, roadmap recommendations, and scalable shared capabilities that enable multiple digital products and customer experiences.

Role Overview

• Lead product strategy execution for digital platform capabilities that serve multiple software products, workflows, and customer experiences across TDX.
• Translate portfolio vision and strategic priorities based on customer needs, business goals, technology trends, and the needs of product teams consuming the platform.
• Create leverage through reusable capabilities spanning data, analytics, AI, APIs, integrations, interoperability, and other shared digital services.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, architecture, data/AI, UX, security, commercial, regulatory, and business stakeholders to translate platform strategy into measurable outcomes.
• Operate with enterprise-level product judgment, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health, adoption, extensibility, and business value.

Platform Product Planning & Lifecycle

• Develop and maintain platform product positioning, roadmap recommendations, and lifecycle plans aligned with portfolio strategy and priorities.
• Identify opportunities where common platform capabilities improve customer experience, reduce duplication, accelerate product delivery, or create new business value.
• Evaluate and recommend platform priorities using customer and product-team value, strategic fit, adoption potential, reuse, feasibility, risk, and platform sustainability.
• Develop platform opportunity assessments, business cases, and investment recommendations to inform portfolio prioritization.
• Establish platform success measures, including adoption, reuse, time-to-value, product-team enablement, and customer/business impact.

Platform Discovery & Ecosystem

• Lead discovery with external customers, internal product teams, commercial stakeholders, and technical partners to identify shared needs and ecosystem opportunities.
• Understand dependencies across products and identify opportunities for reusable capabilities, interoperability, and consistent customer experiences.
• Develop ecosystem and integration recommendations spanning APIs, partner capabilities, data exchange, and digital interoperability.
• Represent platform customer needs in enterprise product and technology discussions while maintaining clear product accountability.

AI, Data & Digital Capabilities

• Translate portfolio and product direction into requirements and recommendations for scalable AI-, analytics-, and data-enabled platform capabilities that can be leveraged across multiple products and customer journeys.
• Evaluate emerging AI and data technologies based on customer value, strategic relevance, feasibility, responsible-use considerations, and measurable outcomes.
• Partner with AI team to shape product opportunities and adoption strategies.
• Ensure recommendations and product decisions appropriately consider portfolio strategic direction.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Align senior stakeholders across product, engineering, UX, regulatory, quality, and business functions around platform priorities and trade-offs.
• Influence without direct authority across multiple product teams and organizational boundaries.
• Communicate complex platform direction and recommendations in a clear, outcome-oriented manner to senior leadership and technical/non-technical audiences.

Product Development & Delivery Partnership

• Partner with engineering to translate product strategy into coherent platform capabilities and delivery plans.
• Lead execution of approved platform roadmap priorities while maintaining focus on outcomes and enabling engineering teams to own detailed technical design and implementation.
• Identify and manage product-level dependencies, risks, sequencing, and trade-offs across teams and platform capabilities.
• Measure delivered capabilities against intended outcomes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, Business, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 8+ years of software product management experience, including demonstrated ownership of platform, enterprise, data, AI, or other complex multi-product capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience defining complex software products or platforms.
• Experience partnering with engineering and other technical teams on products involving APIs, integrations, data, analytics, or shared services.
• Strong experience using customer, product, business, and operational data to make product decisions and measure outcomes.
• Strong communication, prioritization, and cross-functional skills in a matrixed organization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare, diagnostics, life sciences, scientific, laboratory, clinical, or other regulated industries.
• Experience building or scaling enterprise platforms, digital ecosystems, data products, analytics products, or AI-enabled products.
