This role is designed to support a follow-the-sun operating model, serving as a key bridge between US-based business stakeholders and global delivery teams, including India.

Translate business needs into technical execution

Partner with business stakeholders to understand priorities, user needs, and intended outcomes.

Translate business requirements into actionable product requirements, user stories, and delivery plans.

Work closely with engineering, data science, and technical teams to align on scope, tradeoffs, and execution path.

Drive execution excellence and delivery quality

Apply consistent product management and Agile practices across assigned initiatives.

Track delivery progress, identify bottlenecks, and help improve team throughput and handoff quality.

Use structured tools, processes, and operating rhythms to improve speed, transparency, and predictability.

Measure product and business outcomes

Define and monitor product metrics, adoption measures, delivery KPIs, and, where applicable, model-performance indicators.

Use data, stakeholder feedback, and operational insights to inform prioritization and continuous improvement.

Provide clear updates to the Associate Director and key stakeholders on progress, risks, dependencies, and outcomes.

Contribute to the Portugal enablement team

Collaborate with peers across the Portugal-based enablement team to support consistent practices, effective handoffs, and strong stakeholder experiences.

Contribute to a high-accountability, high-collaboration team culture focused on quality, speed, and business impact.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
