Role Overview
As Director/Sr. Director of Product Management, Data & AI, you will lead the charge in creating an intelligent analytics and AI platform that turns vast amounts of quality data into real-time insights and embedded, continuous improvement for our customers. This is a hands-on, high-visibility product leadership role that sits at the center of our transformation toward an AI-first experience, one that makes quality data more connected, insightful, and actionable for every scientist and quality professional.
You’ll start by partnering with an established cross-functional team driving our data organization, analytics and AI foundation, shaping how customers organize, explore, report and automate actions from their data. From there, you’ll work across the broader product organization to guide how each product manager and team leverages our emerging AI platform to infuse intelligence and automation throughout the product suite.
Your charter spans data cataloging, analytics, and applied AI, connecting these threads into a unified platform that enables continuous quality intelligence, compliant automation, and scientific acceleration.
While we prefer candidates within commuting distance to our office in Ardmore, PA, we’ll consider outstanding remote candidates with the right mix of skills and experience. Travel requirements will be determined prior to an offer.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute the product strategy for the Data, Analytics, and AI domain, including a data cataloging foundation, analytics offering, and AI enablement layer.
- Partner with engineering teams to establish an AI platform & contextualized agentic user experience that provides direct value & allows other product teams to contribute tools and agents safely and effectively.
- Lead discovery and delivery of customer-facing analytics capabilities and dashboards, defining a differentiated approach to continuous quality intelligence.
- Develop the roadmap for data organization and reporting standards (e.g., eTMF structures, audit-ready data packages, federated catalogs).
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Quality, Engineering, Compliance, and Customer teams to ensure the platform aligns with regulatory expectations for “Compliant AI” (validatable, explainable, and human-in-the-loop).
- Define success metrics and outcomes for the platform and communicate progress across leadership, customers, and partners.
- Serve as the internal and external evangelist for data-driven quality connecting AI innovation with customer value in regulated environments.
- Stay on top of the rapidly evolving landscape around AI, to help position the product for growth into the future.
- 8+ years of product management experience, preferably with 3+ years of people management or director level contributions.
- Proven success building data platforms, analytics products, or AI-driven applications, ideally within enterprise SaaS or life sciences.
- Strong understanding of data modeling, cataloging, governance, and visualization principles.
- Experience translating customer workflows into actionable insights, metrics, and automation opportunities.
- Understanding of best practice concepts in defining and applying evaluation frameworks for AI-driven features and building governance into “productizing” AI workflows that operate in regulated / quality-sensitive domains.
- Demonstrated ability to operate as both a strategic thinker and hands-on product builder and team leader, especially in high-growth environments.
- Comfort leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing without direct authority.
- Familiarity with regulated industries (GxP, FDA, ISO 13485, etc.) a plus.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, able to simplify complex topics for executive and technical audiences alike.
Why This Role Matters
This is a pivotal role shaping the future of AI-driven Quality Management. You’ll build the connective tissue between data, intelligence, and compliance, turning fragmented information into trusted insights and action. With growth, this role is an opportunity to scale into leading multiple product teams driving the next generation of data- and AI-powered quality systems.
