What the job involves
- We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead Pager Health’s Navigation portfolio, encompassing Clinical, Program, Provider, and Benefits Navigation
- Reporting to the VP of Product Management, the Director owns the product strategy, roadmap, market alignment, and outcomes for navigation experiences that sit at the core of Pager Health’s value proposition
- This includes responsibility not only for what is built, but also ensuring the portfolio is commercially viable, clearly differentiated, and aligned to real buyer and user problems
- You will lead your team’s work with design, engineering, clinical, data, and go-to-market partners to deliver intuitive, scalable, and outcomes-driven navigation solutions that improve access to care and reduce friction across the healthcare ecosystem
- This role balances hands-on product leadership with people management
- The Director will actively coach and mentor a team of Product Managers whose primary focus is inbound product management, while also remaining comfortable diving into discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, and delivery as needed
- Simultaneously, the Director will help their team build strength in outbound product management skills, including market understanding, portfolio thinking, pricing awareness, and go-to-market partnership
- Outbound Product Management & Market Leadership:
- Own outbound product management for the Navigation portfolio, including market problem framing, competitive differentiation, portfolio positioning, and final product-side recommendations on portfolio prioritization, pricing strategy inputs, and build/buy/partner decisions, bringing clear trade-offs and data-backed rationale to executive decision-making
- Partner with Product Marketing to provide clear product inputs for positioning, messaging, launches, and sales enablement
- Lead pricing and packaging strategy inputs for navigation products in partnership with Finance, Revenue, and Product Marketing
- Own portfolio-level economics, including product profitability, investment trade-offs, and build / buy / partner analysis
- Establish and maintain a strong win/loss learning loop, synthesizing insights into roadmap, positioning, and portfolio decisions
- Represent the Navigation portfolio externally and internally as a credible market and product expert
- Product Strategy & Portfolio Ownership:
- Define and evolve a cohesive product strategy for Pager Health’s Navigation portfolio, including Clinical, Program, Provider, and Benefits Navigation
- Own the roadmap and ensure alignment with company goals, customer needs, and platform capabilities while balancing near-term delivery with long-term value creation
- Ensure portfolio decisions are grounded in clear market problems, competitive context, and economic impact, and that trade-offs across initiatives are explicit and intentional
- Hands-On Product Leadership:
- Remain actively engaged in core product management activities, including discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, and delivery
- Lead complex product initiatives end to end, make informed trade-offs, and ensure solutions are well-scoped, high-quality, and impactful
- Team Leadership & Mentorship:
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Product Managers with a primary focus on inbound product management. Set clear expectations, provide ongoing coaching and feedback, and foster a culture of accountability, growth, and strong product judgement
- Actively coach Product Managers to expand their capabilities beyond inbound execution, helping them develop outbound product management skills such as market problem framing, portfolio thinking, competitive awareness, and effective partnership with Product Marketing and Revenue teams
- Establish clear expectations and development plans that help Product Managers progress from strong inbound execution toward broader portfolio, market, and business-oriented product leadership over time
- Hold Product Managers accountable for demonstrated growth in outbound product management competencies over time, including market insights, portfolio thinking, and commercial awareness
- Support career development by modeling senior-level product thinking, providing structured feedback, and creating opportunities for PMs to grow in scope, confidence, and impact
- Market-Centered Product Development:
- Champion a user- and customer-first mindset across the Navigation portfolio
- Ensure customer insights, buyer needs, operational realities, and clinical considerations are deeply embedded in product discovery and decision-making
- Balance user needs with buyer economics and enterprise realities, ensuring solutions are both usable and commercially viable
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner closely with Design, Engineering, Data, Clinical, Customer Success, and Go-to-Market teams to translate strategy into effective solutions
- Drive alignment across functions, influence priorities through clear product rationale, and ensure shared ownership of outcomes
- Execution & Delivery Excellence:
- Oversee execution across the product lifecycle, from discovery and validation through launch and iteration
- Ensure teams deliver on commitments, maintain a high bar for quality, and continuously improve products based on data, feedback, and performance metrics
- Portfolio Performance & Continuous Improvement:
- Define and track success metrics for navigation products, using data to evaluate performance and inform prioritization
- Identify opportunities to improve user experience, operational efficiency, and business impact across the portfolio
Our take
Pager is a virtual care platform that delivers a range of services to healthcare clients. The app allows patients to schedule appointments and connect with caregivers and medical professionals while providing telemedicine, after-care follow-up, and various other options.
Since its rebranding in 2014, Pager has experienced substantial growth, reflecting the increasing demand for telehealth solutions. The company has formed several partnerships with established healthcare providers, including a notable deal with Horizon Healthcare Services in 2017. These collaborations have helped expand Pager's reach and integrate its services into existing healthcare systems.
Interest from private investors has also been significant, with the company securing substantial funding. However, Pager faces intense competition in the telehealth market, which is a huge and growing space. To stand out from alternative solutions, it is crucial for Pager to continually innovate and differentiate itself in this rapidly evolving space.
