Founding Product Manager, Life Sciences Workflows

About The Role

We are seeking a voraciously curious, systems-minded Senior/Staff Product Manager to build our Life Sciences product vertical from the ground up. This is a founding product role: you will define the strategy, ship the first products, and lay the foundation for a durable new line of business serving pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers.

What You'll Do

• Own the 0→1: define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Life Sciences vertical, from first customer conversations through first shipped products and early revenue.
• Partner with the GM/SME as a peer—co-owning the commercial motion while holding the product line and translating market access and contracting knowledge into a concrete, sequenced product plan.
• Develop and defend your own domain point of view across manufacturer economics—chargebacks, rebates, gross-to-net, formulary, and coverage—and use it to make sharp prioritization calls.
• Relentlessly drive early-stage concepts through iteration, execution, and enhancement, validating with real customers and making the calls that move the vertical forward under uncertainty.
• Turn Turquoise's pricing and contract data assets into products that solve concrete manufacturer problems, in close partnership with Engineering and Data.
• Facilitate airtight coordination across disciplines within Turquoise—Engineering, Design, GTM, and Legal—and across key external stakeholders and customers.
• Be the customer's voice: build direct relationships with pharma and medical device customers and bring their reality back into the roadmap.
• Continuously hone industry and subject matter expertise, staying ahead of market trends and legislative developments so Turquoise anticipates the tailwinds and headwinds in life sciences.

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning products end to end.
• 5+ years in health technology, with a strong grasp of how healthcare data, pricing, and payments fit together.
• 3+ years working with pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers—you understand their commercial and contracting world from the inside.
• Demonstrated ability to ship high-complexity, 0→1 solutions in a fast-paced startup environment with rapidly changing priorities.
• Subject-matter credibility in your own right—you can go as deep as a GM/SME as a peer.
• A clear track record of growth and increasing scope—impact and staying power, not just tenure.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and align senior stakeholders both internally and externally.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and iterating in response to internal and market feedback.

Benefits

• Competitive pay with equity options
• Stellar health care plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision), with FSA, DCFSA, & HSA options
• Company-sponsored disability & life insurance
• Flexible PTO
• 401(k) + 4% Matching
• Flexible working hours
• $750 work-from-home setup budget
• Paid bi-annual all-company in-person Summits
• Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet up with coworkers
• Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit
• Generous paid family leave
• Annual $1,200 learning & development stipend
