Sr Director of Product Management - Surgical Business Unit

Role is 100% onsite in Westlake Village, CA - no remote option

Message from the Hiring Manager:

This role exists to build the Product Management / Marketing function from the ground — establishing the infrastructure, processes, and talent required to bring Caldera's surgical portfolio to market with speed, rigor, and commercial precision. The Sr. Director of Product Management is the single owner of portfolio strategy, launch execution, and cross-functional product leadership for the Surgical BU.

This is not an inheritor role — it is a builder role designed for a senior operator who has scaled a product management function in a resource-constrained, high-growth medical device environment.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Portfolio Strategy & Roadmap Ownership

• Own and drive the multi-year product portfolio roadmap for hysteroscopic tissue removal and adjacent surgical indications, balancing near-term launch execution with long-range pipeline development.
• Translate market intelligence, clinical insights, competitive dynamics, and unmet customer needs into a differentiated product strategy with measurable commercial objectives.
• Lead portfolio lifecycle management from concept through end-of-life, including prioritization frameworks reflecting growth, margin, and competitive positioning.

Go-To-Market Execution & Launch Excellence

• Own the full launch readiness process — milestone frameworks, cross-functional accountability structures, and commercial launch metrics across ASCs, offices, and HOPDs.
• Develop positioning, messaging, economic value tools, and field enablement programs in partnership with Sales, Strategic Accounts, and Marketing.
• Monitor post-launch performance and drive corrective action with urgency when results diverge from plan.
• Own and cultivate strategic relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs) across urogynecology, urology, and gynecology — leveraging their clinical insight to inform product requirements, validate unmet needs, and drive adoption and advocacy at launch.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Process Development

• Serve as the primary PM liaison to R&D, Quality & Regulatory, Operations, Clinical Affairs, and Finance.
• Support the build and institutionalize Stage-Gate processes, VOC methodologies, roadmap governance, and launch readiness reviews that scale with the organization.

Organizational Design & Team Development

• Design the Product Management function — define structure, roles, competencies, and talent roadmap for a high-growth division.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop the PM team (including current Associate PM), establishing a culture of analytical rigor, commercial urgency, and customer obsession.

Strategic Planning & Commercial Intelligence

• Lead annual strategic planning with market sizing, competitive benchmarking, portfolio gap analysis, and opportunity framing.
• Develop market models, competitive intelligence trackers, and KPI dashboards for executive visibility.
• Contribute to business development evaluation, partnership diligence, and executive business reviews.

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Business, or related field; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive medical device product management experience; minimum 5 years in a senior or leadership PM role.
• Demonstrated track record of launching surgical or procedural medical device products from concept through full commercialization.
• Proven ability to build PM infrastructure and processes from scratch — not inherit and maintain them.
• Deep cross-functional experience with R&D, Regulatory, Clinical, Ops, and Sales in a resource-constrained, high-growth environment.
• Strong command of market analysis, competitive intelligence, financial modeling, and portfolio prioritization.
• Exceptional executive communication and presence — credible with surgeons, investors, and design review teams equally.

Strongly Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Direct experience in hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, endoscopy, or related minimally invasive procedural specialties.
• Experience in women's health, urology, urogynecology, or gynecology.
• Exposure to business development activities including technology licensing and strategic partnership evaluation.
• Experience building or scaling a PM function within a startup or newly formed business unit.
• Knowledge of reimbursement strategy and health economics in a procedural surgical specialty.
