• Market Opportunity Assessment: Conduct deep-dive market research to identify trends in women's midlife health, CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods), and health-tech.
• Competitive Benchmarking: Stay ahead of the curve by benchmarking competitor offerings, pricing, and patient experience models to ensure Midi remains the market leader.

Market Research & Insights

• Customer Voice: Design and execute market research studies to validate customer needs and test new product concepts.
• Insight Reporting: Create comprehensive reports (e.g., Product Launch Strategies) that synthesize complex data into actionable recommendations for the executive team.

Execution & Cross-Functional Product Management

• Concept to Launch: Act as the primary Product Manager for new offerings, coordinating with Clinical Care, Operations, Engineering, and Marketing to ensure a seamless launch.
