Associate Product Manager (US)
About The Position
The Associate Product Manager supports the execution and delivery of existing software applications focused on quality management, compliance, and workflow optimization within breast cancer screening programs. Working closely with Product Management and stakeholders, the role translates product requirements into detailed engineering work and connects product, program, and engineering teams so roadmap priorities are clear and delivered through effective sprint execution. The position supports day-to-day product delivery, backlog management, sprint activities, stakeholder coordination, testing, validation, release readiness, and continuous improvement. Success includes producing high-quality product requirements, maintaining a well-groomed backlog, and creating clarity across development teams. The role requires collaboration with teams in the United States, New Zealand, and South Korea, and a Pacific time zone location. It is hybrid for employees within commuting distance of the Lynnwood, Washington office and fully remote for employees outside that area. Occasional work outside standard business hours may be needed to support international customers or collaboration.
