Diaceutics•Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ

19h•Hybrid

About The Position

At Diaceutics, we are dedicated to ensuring every patient receives the right treatment at the right time. We empower leading pharmaceutical companies with an end-to-end solution for launching precision medicine diagnostics, powered by DXRX – The Diagnostic Network®. DXRX is the world's first diagnostic commercialization platform for precision medicine, integrating diverse real-world diagnostic testing data from a global network of laboratories. The Head of Product will lead and develop the product function across all Diaceutics product areas. This role is crucial for establishing a cohesive and aligned strategy for product development, prioritization, and execution across various customer segments. The Head of Product will ensure the entire product portfolio operates as a unified entity, characterized by clear prioritization, effective planning cycles, and robust cross-functional alignment. This is a foundational hire for a new structure, tasked with building a high-performing product organization that translates strategic objectives into tangible customer value, commercial growth, and market differentiation. The individual will shape this function as it is built, sequentially hiring product area teams and adapting the structure as the work evolves, particularly with the integration of AI tooling. This role requires comfort with ambiguity and a proactive approach to establishing the function while it is still in development. Product development at Diaceutics is intrinsically linked with data; every product is built upon the DXRX data asset. Consequently, product and data decisions are made collaboratively. Data feasibility is confirmed prior to prioritization, the Data function acts as a design partner from the outset, and roadmaps are jointly developed with data leadership.

Responsibilities

Leading the product function as a cohesive portfolio, ensuring alignment of priorities and solutions across all customer groups.
Building the function gradually: hiring Product Area Leads, Product Engineers and shared roles in sequence, and adjusting the design as AI tooling changes what each role needs to be.
Working closely with the Data function: joint roadmap shaping with data leadership, data feasibility confirmed with the Data Product Lead before prioritization, and data treated as a design input from the earliest stage of every product decision.
Owning portfolio-level planning processes, including quarterly planning cycles, ensuring they are well structured, effective and deliver clear decisions.
Establishing consistent standards across the function, including roadmap structure, requirements definition, pricing and product packaging.
Identifying and resolving cross-area dependencies, overlaps and conflicts, ensuring decisions are made at the appropriate level.
Owning the product interface with the ring-fenced innovation team: the gating process, protection of the innovation ring-fence, and the routes by which innovation work graduates back into the core product and delivery pipeline.
Supporting Product Area Leads with complex prioritization, stakeholder engagement and commercial decision-making.
Partnering with Sales, Marketing and Customer Success to balance short-term commercial needs with long-term portfolio priorities.
Managing shared design and product support roles, ensuring capacity is allocated effectively against priorities.
Collaborating with Product Marketing to ensure the value proposition for each area is clear and supporting go-to-market planning in partnership with commercial teams.
Maintaining a consistent and clear pricing framework across the portfolio and supporting pricing decisions.
Embedding prototype-led, AI-first ways of working, including keeping product definitions structured and current enough to be machine-readable as agent-based buying and selling develops.
Providing clear and accurate reporting on product development status, risks and decisions required, and supporting board-level and investor-facing materials where the portfolio must be clearly represented.
Lead and develop a team of People Leaders and professionals across the Product function holding definition and building together, with accountability for outcomes end to end within each product area.
Exemplify the One Diaceutics Leadership behaviors as a senior leader.
Act as a trusted advisor and execution partner to the Chief Product & Technology Officer, advising on portfolio-wide investment, prioritization and resourcing decisions.
Build strong, trusted relationships across the executive leadership team.
Shape the evolution of the Product operating model, challenging thinking, setting direction and ensuring readiness to deliver strategic priorities.
As a member of the Extended Leadership Team (ELT), bridge strategy and execution, reducing siloed thinking and driving operational excellence across Diaceutics.

Represent Diaceutics externally with credibility and professionalism as a senior leader.
