Director of Product Management, New Markets

• Define the direction for independent living. Own the strategy and roadmap for how Inspiren approaches the IL market which problems we solve, for whom, and in what order. Build the case for the bets we make, and make sure the team understands the "why" behind them.
• Lead discovery and validation. Don't delegate the hard work of understanding what customers need. Talk to operators and residents directly. Use AI to build prototypes and run experiments fast to get to something real that customers can react to, rather than waiting on traditional handoffs. Know when a bet is ready to move into build, and make that call.
• Own execution and launch. Take validated ideas from 0→1 and through launch, working closely with Engineering, Design, Commercial, and Clinical Success. Stay close after launch and use real-world signals to adapt quickly and sequence follow-on investments well.
• Explore new opportunities alongside the Head of Product. As the IL business matures, partner with the Head of Product to evaluate what's next - new markets, segments, and use cases.
• Communicate well across the organization. Keep stakeholders aligned without over-engineering it. Make it easy for Engineering, Commercial, Clinical Success, and leadership to understand where things stand, what the risks are, and what decisions need to be made.
• Manage and grow the product team. Directly manage product manager(s), providing clear expectations, coaching, and feedback. Help them develop strong product judgment, execution rigor, and discovery skills that raise the bar for the whole team.
