Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a Manager to lead Product Operations team members within a regulated medical device environment. This onsite role in West Hills is focused on hands-on leadership, execution excellence, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams including R&D, Quality, Regulatory Affairs (QARA), Operations, and Finance.

This is primarily a product operations and execution leadership role, responsible for driving product lifecycle execution including launch readiness, design transfer, lifecycle changes, and obsolescence while ensuring alignment with regulatory and quality requirements. You will own portfolio execution cadence (roadmaps, reviews, milestone tracking) and translate product strategy into coordinated, cross-functional execution plans.

Reporting to the Director of Product Management, who owns portfolio strategy and prioritization, this role is responsible for delivering against that strategy through disciplined, predictable execution across the team.

What You'll Do

Lead day-to-day execution across the product portfolio, ensuring alignment to product roadmaps, timelines, and quality standards

Translate portfolio strategy into clear execution plans, milestones, and cross-functional deliverables

Oversee product lifecycle execution, including new product introductions (NPI), design transfer, sustaining changes, and end-of-life activities

Ensure execution complies with applicable quality systems, regulatory requirements, and internal processes

Proactively identify and resolve execution risks, resource constraints, and cross-functional dependencies

Drive operational rigor through standardized processes, governance, and tools to improve delivery predictability

Partner closely onsite with R&D, QARA, Operations, and other stakeholders to enable rapid issue resolution and effective decision-making

Track success through execution metrics and business outcomes, including on-time product launches, reduced delays, and improved portfolio predictability

Manage team capacity and performance to consistently meet delivery commitments

Lead and develop team members, including Associate Product Managers responsible for lower-complexity and mature products, ensuring execution within established portfolio strategy and decision-making guardrails

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience in product management, product operations, or related roles within a regulated industry (medical device, diagnostics, life sciences, or similar)

4+ years of people management experience, with a track record of leading teams, developing talent, and operating independently

Strong experience in execution-focused roles, with demonstrated ownership of delivery, cross-functional coordination, and operational rigor

Strong understanding of product lifecycle management in a regulated environment (e.g., NPI, design controls, change management)

Proven ability to translate strategy into execution across cross-functional teams

Excellent communication and coaching skills

Ability to work onsite and collaborate closely with R&D, Quality, Regulatory, and Operations partners

Nice to Have

Experience leading product operations or execution-focused teams

Familiarity with FDA, ISO 13485, or similar regulatory frameworks

Experience improving execution rigor, delivery predictability, or scaling processes in a regulated environment

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range estimated for this position based in California is $113,500.00-$170,200.00.

This position may also be eligible to receive a variable annual bonus based on company, team, and/or individual performance results in accordance with company policy. We offer a comprehensive Total Rewards package that our U.S. colleagues and their families can count on, which includes:

A choice of national medical and dental plans, and a national vision plan, including health incentive programs

Employee assistance and family support programs, including commuter benefits and tuition reimbursement

At least 120 hours paid time off (PTO), 10 paid holidays annually, paid parental leave (3 weeks for bonding and 8 weeks for caregiver leave), accident and life insurance, and short- and long-term disability in accordance with company policy

Retirement and savings programs, such as our competitive 401(k) U.S. retirement savings plan

Employees' Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) offers eligible colleagues the opportunity to purchase company stock at a discount
