Desirable

• We are seeking a highly strategic, analytically rigorous, and execution-oriented leader to partner directly with the Chief Product Officer to drive critical, high-impact initiatives across the business
• This role is designed for a leader who thrives in ambiguity, can rapidly structure complex problems, and is equally comfortable shaping strategic direction and leading cross-functional execution
• The VP, Portfolio Strategy will work on opportunities and challenges that sit outside the normal operating cadence and in-flight roadmap: emerging technologies, transformational capabilities, new business models, portfolio shifts, strategic pilots, and other initiatives that require deep thinking, organizational alignment, and hands-on leadership
• For targeted initiatives, this role will also be asked to lead small, cross-functional core teams assembled around strategic questions or exploratory initiatives – bringing structure, momentum, and clarity to areas that are often early-stage, ambiguous, and highly consequential
• Strategic Problem Solving & Opportunity Assessment:
• Lead analysis and framing of complex strategic questions affecting product direction, technology investment, portfolio evolution, and organizational capabilities
• Evaluate emerging technologies, market shifts, competitive dynamics, and adjacent opportunities to identify implications and strategic options for the business
• Develop actionable recommendations supported by rigorous analysis, clear narratives, and executive-level communication materials
• Translate broad strategic concepts into practical decision frameworks and implementation pathways
• Cross-Functional Initiative Leadership:
• Serve as the leader for select high-priority strategic initiatives that fall outside typical functional ownership
• Build and lead small cross-functional working teams across Product, Market Access, Regulatory, Clinical, Engineering, Commercial, and other functions as needed
• Establish initiative structure, milestones, governance, communication cadence, and decision-making frameworks
• Drive alignment among senior stakeholders while maintaining momentum in uncertain or evolving environments
• Innovation & Transformation Enablement:
• Help the organization assess and operationalize transformational opportunities, including new technologies, workflows, capabilities, and operating models
• Lead exploratory pilots, proof-of-concept programs, and early-stage strategic experiments
• Identify barriers to adoption and help shape scalable approaches for broader organizational implementation
• Executive Partnership:
• Act as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to executive leadership
• Provide leverage to Product leadership by independently advancing critical initiatives and surfacing insights, risks, and recommendations
