Working closely with development teams, Software Device Quality, Global Regulatory Affairs, Local Operating Companies (LOCs), and analytics teams, you will be responsible for driving and prioritizing the product backlog and coordinating product activities across multiple markets and stakeholders.  

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex initiatives, driving cross-functional execution, and ensuring products continue to deliver value after launch in a regulated industry.

• Product Performance and Analytics: Continuously align with data analytics teams to own, maintain, and prioritize the product data analytics and success metrics. Define and monitor KPIs to benchmark product performance. Use data and stakeholder feedback to recommend product improvements.
• Market Expansion & Localization: Coordinate launch and localization activities for new countries. Collaborate with local operating companies (LOCs) at the country-level to gather feedback, manage review processes and ensure launch readiness and in some cases product sunsetting.
