Senior Product Manager

About the Role

At Techcyte, we specialize in developing SaaS solutions for microscopy testing by leveraging computer vision and deep machine learning technologies.

The primary aim of our product management team is to bring new products to market, and then refine the products and strategy to meet revenue targets. PMs are typically assigned a product (an AI algorithm for scanned microscopy slides with its corresponding workflow) and are expected to create and execute a strategy that aligns with the company's strategy, product platform, revenue targets, and processes. PMs own products throughout all phases of the lifecycle, but typically PMs spend more of their energy launching new algorithms rather than fine-tuning on-market solutions.

Working as a Product Manager at Techcyte is mentally challenging, but usually maintain reasonable hours. Our PMs regularly interface with technical experts in medicine, biology, laboratory operations, clinical research, regulatory affairs, optics, machine learning, and software development, but at times may need to fill holes in expertise themselves. PMs are in charge of combining multi-disciplinary knowledge into a shared team vision for the product. This overarching vision also encompasses a comprehensive commercialization strategy aligned with the company's objectives and values. Product Managers regularly interact with partner customers, development teams, a data manager, and management.  

Responsibilities 

• Define business requirements based on partner needs and help drive contracts. Push needs towards existing solutions first, then work with development teams to fill the gaps with new reusable platform features.
• Test your product to validate that it is built and configured to specifications. Develop materials for the transfer of information to sales, support, and integration teams so they can do it in the future.
• Apply judgment in strong cross-functional interactions to help reach good decisions, then help to message them out to stakeholders.
• Coordinate with developer teams and data managers to quickly and cost-effectively build products
• Develop a product roadmap and market strategy. Anticipate and prevent roadblocks.
• Increase revenue by enhancing on-market solutions by getting feedback from partners, UX, support, marketing, and sales
• Review validation study protocols to make sure they match the claims of your product. When necessary, travel to study sites to ensure they are performed correctly.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in STEM (MBA is a plus), or have significant software experience

• 5+ years of software product management experience (management experience is a plus)

• Understanding of basic statistical concepts, including proper sampling methods, standard deviation, false positives, false negatives, problems with out-of-population inferences, sample size, and margin of error

• Demonstrated success in defining, launching, and maintaining successful software

• Data-driven, logical, and cross-discipline collaboration skills with a deep understanding of product management best practices

• Proven independent and proactive leadership

• Ability to travel to conferences, customers, and partner sites

• Ability to analyze data in Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel

About the Company

Improve the World

Our mission is to improve healthcare and laboratory testing throughout the world. We improve the work environment for our users, improve the accuracy of tests, and lower costs and turnaround times for the healthcare system. We push new innovation in technology, workflow, and regulations to make the healthcare system the best it can be. We have already improved accuracy in laboratory testing that has prevented misdiagnoses, and we are striving to do more.

Challenging Hard Problems

We need to analyze the equivalent of a Blu-ray movie worth of images in the cloud in only a few minutes while staying reliable and accurate. Major challenges include transferring, processing, and storing terabytes of data; creating queuing systems that balance turnaround times with costs; and building a pipeline around machine learning models that meet the accuracy requirements of human healthcare.

Work from Home

While we do have offices available for use, our workforce spends the majority of their time working from the comfort of their home. Every team member has a daily standup meeting to touch base with their team and a monthly all hands meeting for the whole company to get updates. Additional meetings are created as needed, and the majority are impromptu.
