About The Position

To achieve an organization’s mission, leaders need strong team members who can create and analyze processes, communicate requirements, and develop innovative solutions throughout the execution of the mission. This role requires an experienced AI/ML Product Manager who can act as the connective tissue between vision and execution, working directly with the product leader on vision and strategy and partnering with researchers and designers. The consultant will combine deep technical understanding of software engineering with strong architectural judgment. As part of the team, you will serve as a strategic technical advisor to help conceptualize, create, and execute advanced government-funded research and development programs aimed at accelerating better health outcomes. This involves working with scientists and engineers to develop high-impact solutions, providing strategic assessments of new technologies to senior ARPA-H decision makers, and presenting findings and recommendations on the feasibility and impact of future research programs. You will also assist with current program management and facilitate the commercialization of successful technologies. As a Senior Product Manager, you will help clients develop stakeholder management strategies, establish new business processes, and conduct research and analysis for viable solutions. Your core responsibility is to take the product vision and make it a reality by ruthlessly prioritizing, unblocking the team, thinking ahead, and shipping valuable features efficiently.
