• Discovery & Roadmap Scoping: Facilitate collaborative discovery workshops to gather requirements, assess commercial viability, map user journeys, and build robust business cases for new data, BI, and AI initiative deployments.

Product Lifecycle Leadership

• App & Data Productization: Manage the end-to-end product lifecycle—from initial concept to user adoption ensuring they provide intuitive, scalable, and value-driven insights for operational and regional leadership.
• AI Feature/Agentic Solutions: Drive the product roadmap, functional specifications, and user experience definition for Generative AI applications, specifically utilizing Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Gemini ecosystems.
• Scoping & Validation: Guide the scoping and validation of rapid Proof of Concepts (POCs) and Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to prove technical feasibility, validate user experience, and track business ROI before committing resources to full production scaling.

Internal Cross-Functional Agile Orchestration

• Technical Footprint Alignment: Partner closely with Engineering & Data Leads to ensure product roadmaps align with technical viability, security protocols, and system architecture.
• Backlog Management for Engineering: Formulate and manage clear product backlogs, user stories, and acceptance criteria for Engineering teams to ensure timely deployments
• Operational Readiness: Coordinate with the Technical Operations team during release planning to ensure standard monitoring, transition-to-support protocols, and operational handovers are completed seamlessly.

Product Delivery & Vendor Governance

• Product Ownership: Drive end-to-end sprint planning, sprint reviews, and agile ceremonies as the definitive Product Owner, maintaining momentum throughout the entire software and data development lifecycle.
• Vendor Alignment & Delivery Governance: Act as the primary product owner when collaborating with external vendors and integration partners, managing their delivery sprints against product specifications, timelines, and business requirements.

Product Compliance & Data Governance Productization

• Regulatory Alignment: Ensure all digital and data products adhere to strict data governance frameworks, data quality standards, security baselines, and healthcare industry regulations.
• Standardized Product Tracking: Ensure BI products developed on Looker/PowerBI accurately map complex distribution pathways, enabling automated compliance tracking, real-time product auditing, and auditable data governance frameworks.
