Product Manager

About the Role

At Techcyte, we specialize in developing SaaS solutions for microscopy testing by leveraging computer vision and deep machine learning technologies.

The primary aim of our product management team is to bring new products to market, and then refine the products and strategy to meet revenue targets. PMs are typically assigned one two products (an AI algorithm for scanned microscopy slides with its corresponding workflow) and are expected to create and execute a strategy that aligns with the company's strategy, product platform, revenue targets, and processes. PMs own products throughout all phases of the lifecycle.

Working as a Product Manager at Techcyte is a challenging, yet rewarding role. Our PMs regularly interface with technical experts in medicine, biology, laboratory operations, clinical research, regulatory affairs, optics, machine learning, and software development, but at times may need to fill holes in expertise themselves. PMs are in charge of combining multi-disciplinary knowledge into a shared team vision for the product. This overarching vision also encompasses a comprehensive commercialization strategy aligned with the company's objectives and values. Product Managers regularly interact with partner customers, development teams, a data manager/subject matter expert, and management.  

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with machine learning engineers, data teams, and clinical advisors to guide model development, validation, and deployment including:
  • Defining training objectives and success metrics.
  • Understanding and guiding tradeoffs based on model performance data (precision/recall, etc.).
  • Prioritizing improvements based on clinical impact and customer value.
  • Spreadsheet analysis and modeling
  • Development and maintenance of scripts that shape the AI model results into actionable product results
• Partner closely with user experience designers and workflow engineers to translate complex clinical and technical requirements into intuitive, efficient end-to-end user workflows.
• Gather and develop materials for the transfer of information to sales, support, and integration teams.
• Own relationships with development partners to drive product initiatives by gathering key inputs from partners and being responsive to partner requests. 
• Evaluate product performance using customer feedback, deployment experience, product metrics, and support trends.
• Support validation and regulatory efforts by contributing to study design, performance documentation, intended-use definitions, and partner-facing materials.
• Maintain ISO-compliant product development documentation.
  
  

The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in STEM (MBA is a plus).
• 5+ years of software product management or other relevant experience.
• Strong technical and data ability is highly desirable (e.g., coding experience in Python or other languages, advanced spreadsheets, SQL, data visualization software).
• Understanding of basic statistical concepts, including proper sampling methods, standard deviation, false positives, false negatives, problems with out-of-population inferences, sample size, and margin of error.
• Demonstrated success in and passion for defining, launching, and maintaining successful software.
• Cross-discipline collaboration skills with a deep understanding of product management best practices.
• Proven ability to lead projects independently with good judgement.
• Strong drive to proactively learn new domains and skills.
