I’m conducting a confidential national search for a Senior Manager of Product Strategy with experience building and growing SaaS products. My client is a technology-enabled business serving healthcare clients and needs someone who can connect customer needs, digital marketing capabilities, and business goals into a clear product direction. This role calls for someone who has led the full product lifecycle. You’ve taken ideas through discovery, development, launch, and continued improvement.
