Lead Technical Product Manager, Content and Tools

Role Description

We're hiring a Lead or Principal Technical Product Manager to own HCEsquared's content engine outright — how we produce accredited education, how we publish it, and what new products we build from it.

HCEsquared is a PE-backed specialty healthcare education platform — currently focused on dermatology and expanding into additional medical specialties. We produce more content than our publishing path can absorb. Conference sessions, accredited education, peer-reviewed journal articles, and clinical tools each move through a different workflow, and the metadata that should connect them does not. There is no content operations function today. You will build it.

This is one of two technical product manager roles. You own what we make: content generation, learning and CME delivery, journal publication operations, and the content standards everything downstream depends on. Your counterpart owns where it lives, the audience-facing platforms. The contract between the two is shared and jointly governed.

We are hiring at either Lead or Principal level and will calibrate to the person. The ownership does not change — the content engine is yours either way. What changes is whether you have built one before. The scope also grows with the company, and the person in this seat is positioned for broader product leadership as we enter new specialties. If you want authority over an engine rather than a backlog inside someone else's, this is the role.

Responsibilities

• Own the content product strategy and roadmap.
• Define what we build across content generation, accredited learning, and publications.
• Own the content generation platform that turns conference sessions, presentations, and educational video into derivative assets at scale.
• Define the architecture, the quality gates, and the clinical-accuracy thresholds that govern what reaches a publish queue.
• Own the content model, taxonomy, and metadata architecture for everything the company produces.
• Govern the shared content contract jointly with your platform counterpart.
• Own the accredited learning and publications product surface.
• Own the product surface for embedded clinical tools and sponsor-facing digital assets.
• Build the content operations function.
• Create new content products.

Accountabilities

• Content engine producing derivative assets at volume, with a rising first-pass clinical accuracy rate.
• Content model, taxonomy, and standards documented, versioned, and adopted across every content source.
• Metadata complete enough that personalization and audience reporting are limited by product decisions, not data quality.
• Accredited activities and journal publications launching on schedule without manual intervention.
• No unplanned breaking changes to the shared content contract.
• Content operations function defined, resourced, and scaling with volume.
• New content products moving from prototype to revenue, and the engine extending into new specialty markets without linear headcount growth.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in technical product management, content platforms, or digital publishing.
• Evidence you can set a standard other teams adopt and hold it under pressure.
• Deep content modeling, taxonomy, and metadata architecture experience on a headless CMS; Storyblok preferred.
• Production experience with LLM-powered content generation.
• Learning management platform ownership: activity architecture, learning paths, and credit or completion reporting; Docebo preferred.
• Experience in a regulated or accredited environment where editorial independence must be structurally preserved.
• Experience building a function from zero.
• Comfort working in an AI-assisted development environment.
• Healthcare, medical education, or life sciences experience preferred.
