Program Manager, Global New Product Launch and Rollout
About The Position
We’re seeking a Program Manager to join our Clinical Informatics team to lead market‑facing New Product Introductions (NPI) and drive successful global launches. In this role, you will translate market insights, customer needs, and competitive trends into disciplined launch execution plans. You will work closely with Product Management, Marketing, Sales and Services— ensuring products are introduced into each market with clear readiness, strong cross‑functional alignment, and measurable impact. This NPI role is centered on market launch, rollout, and product performance rather than upstream new product creation.
Requirements
- You’ve acquired 5+ years of experience in program/project management.
- You have a demonstrated history of managing global launches leading to market success.
- You have experience defining and tracking metrics / KPIs, building dashboards and reports.
- You are proficient in MS Project, Excel / Power BI / Tableau (or equivalents).
- You have a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Computer Science, Engineering, Program Management or related discipline.
- You have excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including executive engagement.
- You must be able to understand high complexity organizations and thrive in a high-demand and fast-paced environment.
- You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
- US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa, now or in the future.
- For this position, you must reside in or within commuting distance to Cambridge, MA.
Responsibilities
- Lead global launch sequencing and market deployment by partnering closely with Product Management to execute strategic NPI launch plans, determine regional rollout timing, and assess market readiness. Collaborate with the Project Manager for Product Structure and CPQ (configure-price-quote) to validate global delivery readiness for each geography.
- Own and manage the master NPI launch plan by building and maintaining the comprehensive NPI program plan covering milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and timelines. Assign clear ownership and ensure each deliverable is well‑defined, on track, and communicated to stakeholders.
- Define and measure launch success by establishing KPIs—such as on‑time market entry, market adoption, commercial performance, and cost vs. plan—and creating dashboards, scorecards, and reports to track progress, analyze gaps, and drive corrective actions.
- Drive executive visibility and alignment by preparing steering committee materials, executive updates, and gating reviews. Facilitate alignment across global marketing, sales, services, and regional leadership. Manage risk logs, dependencies, mitigation plans, and stakeholder expectations.
- Standardize launch excellence by creating templates, playbooks, and readiness checklists to ensure consistent and scalable launch execution. Capture lessons learned and refine processes to enhance the speed, quality, and impact of future market launches.
Benefits
- Employees are eligible to participate in our comprehensive Philips Total Rewards benefits program, which includes a generous PTO, 401k (up to 7% match), HSA (with company contribution), stock purchase plan, education reimbursement and much more.
