Manager, Product Operations & UX

Overview

Lead the product operations, AI-accelerated product development lifecycle, and UX functions that give Merge medical imaging product teams a shared operating model and design foundation. Report to the VP, Product and serve every product team.

What you'll do

• Standardize the product development lifecycle and operating cadence so teams discover, build, and ship consistently, with AI embedded in how the org works.
• Use AI to accelerate funnel development, shortening the path from raw opportunity to validated, scoped, ready-to-build work.
• Build the business-case discipline, including AI-assisted market sizing, evidence, and ROI, so investment decisions are fast, consistent, and defensible.
• Own how the portfolio gets prioritized through a transparent, evidence-backed model for ranking work and reallocating capacity.
• Lead program management across the portfolio and give leadership a clear, current view of progress and risk.
• Own the product toolchain and portfolio metrics; resolve friction so teams work from one source of truth.
• Lead and grow the UX team and evolve a design system that keeps the experience coherent across products.
• Run the early-access and customer-advisory motion that brings clinician feedback into the product early.
• Build, coach, and retain a team spanning operations and design.

What you'll need

• 8+ years across product operations, program management, and/or design leadership, including running cross-functional operating models.
• Experience standardizing a product development lifecycle and operating cadence for multiple teams.
• Hands-on experience embedding AI into how product teams discover, build, and ship, and using it to speed up the funnel, business cases, and prioritization.
• Program and release management skill, making dependencies, risk, and progress visible and keeping initiatives on track.
• Design and research leadership, having led or partnered closely with UX and owned or grown a design system.
• Fluency with product tooling and metrics, with a bias toward one source of truth.
• People leadership and clear, plain communication with product, engineering, design, and executives.
