Technical Product Manager, Life Sciences - Arcadia

Arcadia is dedicated to happier, healthier days for all. We transform diverse data into a unified fabric for health. Our platform delivers actionable insights for our customers to advance care and research, drive strategic growth, and achieve financial success.

Why This Role Is Important To Arcadia

The Technical Product Manager, Life Sciences sits at the intersection of product strategy and engineering execution, embedded directly with our teams to turn complex healthcare data and platform capabilities into products our customers rely on. This role owns the technical depth of the product lifecycle while keeping the team anchored to customer value and business outcomes.

You will be the connective tissue between Product and Engineering: fluent enough in the technical stack to make real-time tradeoff decisions with engineers, and disciplined enough in product craft to keep the roadmap grounded in customer impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own product strategy and roadmap for a defined portfolio within Arcadia's platform, partnering day-to-day with embedded engineering teams through the full SDLC.
• Translate business goals, customer needs, and technical realities into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and well-scoped increments engineering can execute against.
• Engage deeply with engineering on data pipelines, data models, and enrichment, asking the right technical questions and making informed calls when priorities conflict.
• Run and participate in agile ceremonies: backlog grooming, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and incident/RCA reviews.
• Deconstruct ambiguous or large-scale goals into MVPs and iterative delivery plans, adjusting scope based on technical constraints and customer feedback.
• Use SQL and product/data instrumentation to self-serve answers, validate hypotheses, and make data-informed prioritization decisions.
• Replicate, triage, and help troubleshoot complex product issues alongside engineering, escalating and documenting bugs and workarounds as needed.
• Communicate roadmap progress, technical risks, and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Partner with designers, operations, commercial, marketing, and analytic teams to ensure shipped features drive measurable value.
• Advocate for a healthy balance between shipping new capability and managing technical debt, performance, and platform scalability.

What You'll Bring

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 4–7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering teams in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Proven track record taking products from requirements through SDLC to launch.
• Experience engaging in real technical tradeoff discussions around architecture, APIs, data flows, scalability, and implementation approach.
• Healthcare, health-tech, or complex B2B data/SaaS experience strongly preferred; population health, value-based care, or interoperability experience is a plus.

Technical Fluency

• Hands-on SQL proficiency, comfortable writing queries to self-serve analysis and validate product decisions.
• Working understanding of database and data-platform technologies (e.g., Snowflake, cloud data warehouses).
• Comfort partnering with engineers on API design, system architecture, and technical constraints.

Qualities & Skills

• Strong ownership mentality with a bias toward action and hands-on execution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and breaking large problems into deliverable increments.
• Calm, confident facilitator of trade-off conversations across cross-functional stakeholders.
