Founding Product Manager, Life Sciences Workflows - Turquoise Health

About the Role

We are seeking a voraciously curious, systems-minded Senior/Staff Product Manager to build our Life Sciences product vertical from the ground up. This is a founding product role: you will define the strategy, ship the first products, and lay the foundation for a durable new line of business serving pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. You will partner closely with a dedicated GM/subject-matter expert—but as a true peer, not a student. This role requires subject matter expertise in life sciences commercialization and manufacturer contracting in your own right—chargebacks, rebates, gross-to-net, formulary, and coverage.

Qualified candidates bring a rare mix of 0→1 product ownership in a complex industry, deep fluency in the manufacturer data and contracting landscape, an intense focus on customers and eagerness to engage with them, and the inventiveness to build something where nothing existed before.

Why this Role Matters

Turquoise has built the most comprehensive picture of negotiated rates and contract data in US healthcare. Life sciences is the next frontier: pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers sit at the center of how drugs and devices are priced, contracted, and paid for, and bringing transparency to that economy is core to our mission to eliminate financial complexity and rebuild trust in US healthcare.

What You'll Do

• Own the 0→1: Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Life Sciences vertical, from first customer conversations through first shipped products and early revenue.
• Co-pilot with GM/SME: Partner as a peer, co-owning the commercial motion while holding the product line and translating market access and contracting knowledge into a concrete product plan.
• Domain Expertise: Develop and defend your own domain point of view across manufacturer economics—chargebacks, rebates, gross-to-net, formulary, and coverage.
• Execute & Iterate: Relentlessly drive early-stage concepts through iteration, execution, and enhancement, validating with real customers under uncertainty.
• Data Products: Turn Turquoise's pricing and contract data assets into products that solve concrete manufacturer problems in partnership with Engineering and Data.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Facilitate airtight coordination across Engineering, Design, GTM, Legal, and external stakeholders.
• Customer Voice: Build direct relationships with pharma and medical device customers to bring their reality back into the roadmap.
• Market Awareness: Continuously hone industry expertise, staying ahead of market trends and legislative developments.

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning products end to end.
• 5+ years in health technology, with a strong grasp of healthcare data, pricing, and payments.
• 3+ years working with pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers.
• Demonstrated ability to ship high-complexity, 0→1 solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Subject-matter credibility in manufacturer commercialization and contracting.
• Track record of growth, increasing scope, and impact.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and iterating based on feedback.
• Bachelor's degree OR equivalent experience/knowledge.
