• Drive “research-grade” data value through clear product definitions, data documentation expectations, and fit-for-purpose usability for diverse researcher personas (programmers, epidemiologists, HEOR leaders, etc.).
• Partner with Data Operations, Data Governance, and Engineering to ensure quality, repeatability, and consistency in data pipelines and releases.
• Advance MarketScan’s delivery experiences—supporting both file-based and cloud-enabled access models—and define product requirements to continuously improve customer onboarding, usability, and adoption.
• Partner with Engineering to evolve the product delivery model with modern SDLC practices (automation, CI/CD enablement where applicable, quality improvements, operational resiliency).
• Define where and how AI can create meaningful customer value across the MarketScan experience (e.g., discovery, documentation, study setup support, workflow acceleration)—with a focus on responsible, compliant, and practical adoption.
• Provide strategic direction to marketing, sales, partnerships, and enablement teams—ensuring clear value narratives, differentiated positioning, and aligned packaging guidance for MarketScan.
• Translate product strategy and performance into executive-ready updates, and drive decision-making across senior stakeholders.
• Serve as a public-facing leader for MarketScan—engaging with strategic customers, partners, and industry forums to build trust, gather market intelligence, and shape the external point of view.
• Build deep customer relationships to validate roadmap direction, accelerate adoption, and identify co-creation opportunities.
• Build and lead a high-performing product organization; set clear goals, decision rights, and a coaching-oriented culture.
• Establish a predictable operating cadence (OKRs/roadmap reviews/quarterly planning) that drives cross-functional alignment and on-time delivery.
• Lead and develop a high-performing team of product managers and technologists (as applicable), fostering a culture of clarity, execution, accountability, and continuous learning.
• Drive continued execution of AI maturity into core product practice.
