- You will operate at the intersection of product vision, customer value, and data-driven decision making, ensuring our products deliver measurable outcomes for customers while scaling ODAIA’s platform capabilities
- This is not a growth PM role and not focused on upstream analytics exploration
- This is a systems-oriented product leadership role responsible for owning the features and product delivery end-to-end—from user experience through to technical architecture, delivery, and release
- Own and evolve a complex product system, not just a roadmap of features
- Support hands-on onboarding for new customers, ensuring they are set up for success and risks are identified and addressed early
- Support post-launch activities, ensuring teams are successfully onboarded and any issues are surfaced, addressed, and appropriately prioritized
- Partner deeply with Engineering to define technical direction, trade-offs, and architecture implications
- Drive structured execution across planning, delivery, and release cycles
- Break down complex problems across interconnected systems and workflows into clear, actionable components
- Ensure resilience, scalability, and maintainability of the product over time
- Collaborate across Product, Engineering, Data, and Design to deliver cohesive platform experiences
- Establish strong release discipline, including planning, coordination, and post-release evaluation
- Balance long-term platform health with short-term business needs
- Bring clarity to ambiguity in highly complex, multi-stakeholder environment
- Coordinate deeply with Business Acceleration, Commercial, Analytics, Data Management, Engineering, and Design to ensure product strategies are grounded in technical feasibility
- Be outcome-driven, using both quantitative and qualitative insights to guide decisions
- Provide clear context to stakeholders on what the data is showing, what it isn’t, and how learnings should influence strategy
- Champion experimentation, measurement, and continuous learning across teams
Our take
ODAIA have been growing fast in recent years. The company began in the University of Toronto with an intensive period of R&D in AI, journey mapping, and process mining. From there, the ODAIA commercial insights platform for the pharmaceuticals industry was born. Their MAPTUAL solution uses AI and predictive analytics on a vast spread of data to segment and target physicians, thereby driving up customer engagement.
Their rapid growth can be put down, in part, to a widespread shift in the way healthcare providers (HCPs) interact with Pharma, precipitated by the Covid pandemic. With on-site visits restricted, pharma reps needed to seek out different ways of forging meaningful client connections. What we’re seeing now is pharma messaging developing into more detailed, tailored forms of HCP support. As we’ve seen with marketing more generally, big data analytics is a phenomenally powerful tool for maintaining this competitive, tailored edge and funding awarded at the beginning of 2023 proves that ODAIA's AI is being tipped as a solution for the "bottleneck" in pharma delivery and testing.
This means that ODAIA are blazing what is likely to prove an impressive trail in the new model of Pharma/HCP relations. Offering a more streamlined, modern method of targeting and value production, ODAIA is likely to prove an increasingly crucial player going forward in a highly lucrative market.
