The Position

The Opportunity:

In this newly established blended role, you will combine senior individual contribution in product management (70%) with operational team leadership (30%). As a Product Manager, you will provide hands-on execution support, translate business needs into functional requirements, and manage backlog hygiene.

Provide day-to-day mentorship and serve as the primary escalation point for critical CRM support issues.

• Product & Delivery Support (70%): Translate business needs into clear user stories, functional requirements, and explicit acceptance criteria. Develop detailed business process flows and independently maintain product backlogs and JIRA priorities as directed by leadership.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the strategic liaison between the US support team, technical development squads, QA, vendors, and business leadership.

• Quality Assurance & Operations: Support Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) planning, execution, and defect tracking. Assist with ongoing CRM enhancements, minor configuration changes, and data validation outputs.

• Compliance & Audit: Ensure all product documentation and support logs strictly align with Life Sciences compliance and audit guidelines.

Who you are:

• Experience: 5–8 years of experience supporting CRM platforms, with mandatory experience working within Life Sciences, Commercial, or Medical CRM environments.

• Team Leadership Readiness: Proven experience or strong readiness to step into a Team Lead role, with a track record of mentoring team members, managing workloads, or setting up operational workflows.

• Product Management Competency: Strong experience writing detailed user stories, tracking functional requirements, and mapping complex business processes.

• Tools & Ecosystems: Advanced, hands-on experience with JIRA, Confluence, and CRM Service Desks (or equivalent ticketing frameworks).

• Stakeholder & Soft Skills: Exceptional communication skills to build a strong team culture, drive accountability, and confidently manage expectations with US business partners and executive stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Platform Expertise: Specific, hands-on experience with Salesforce or Veeva CRM architectures.
