Job description
Director, Product Portfolio – Life Sciences
LexisNexis is seeking a Director to lead portfolio strategy, investment planning, and product execution across our Life Sciences business. This leader will shape a next‑generation regulatory intelligence, data management, workflow, and submission platform that enables customers to move faster, stay compliant, and operate with greater confidence across global markets. It is a portfolio leadership role for an experienced product executive who can connect customer outcomes, portfolio choices, platform strategy, and commercial impact.
What You Will Do
Lead the Life Sciences product portfolio strategy across regulatory intelligence, data, workflow, artifact generation, validation, and submission-related capabilities.
Translate a long‑range portfolio vision into a pragmatic, staged roadmap tied to measurable customer and business outcomes.
Define and prioritize the highest‑value customer problems to solve, especially where better regulatory change detection, impact assessment, workflow orchestration, and compliant execution can create meaningful differentiation.
Drive product portfolio rationalization and consolidation, ensuring overlapping capabilities are simplified, modernized, or absorbed into a more coherent platform experience rather than expanded in parallel.
Partner closely with Engineering, Architecture, Design, Data/AI, Services, Sales, Customer Success, and senior business leaders to align strategy, sequencing, trade‑offs, and execution.
Establish clear portfolio investment priorities and product operating rhythms, including annual planning, roadmap governance, business cases, KPI tracking, and outcome reviews.
Champion a product model that balances customer‑centric experiences above the surface with shared capabilities below the surface, including data models, validation, workflow/state management, integration, analytics, and AI services.
Shape the Life Sciences AI strategy in partnership with technical leaders, focusing on intelligent workflows, explainable decision support, governed automation, and future agentic capabilities that operate safely inside regulated processes.
Work directly with customers and prospects to understand regulatory operations pain points, validate product‑market fit, and ensure the roadmap is grounded in real‑world workflows across labeling, submissions, compliance, and lifecycle change management.
Build clarity where complexity exists: turn broad themes and fragmented backlogs into a focused strategy with explicit choices, sequencing, ownership, and expected impact.
Lead, coach, and elevate product managers and cross‑functional teams, setting a high bar for strategic thinking, customer empathy, analytical rigor, and execution discipline.
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
Create a sharper, more coherent Life Sciences portfolio strategy tied to a small number of high‑value customer outcomes.
Translate that strategy into a credible 12–24 month roadmap that balances revenue protection, platform modernization, and differentiated growth bets.
Improve alignment across Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams by making trade‑offs explicit and tying investments to business value.
Advance the consolidation of legacy and overlapping capabilities into a more unified platform model.
Help bring to market customer‑visible capabilities that demonstrate progress toward the long‑term platform vision, while strengthening the underlying architecture and operating model.
Establish stronger portfolio metrics around customer value, speed, adoption, retention/expansion, capability reuse, and roadmap execution.
Qualifications
10+ years of product management experience, with significant time leading complex B2B software portfolios, platforms, or multi‑product businesses.
Several years in a senior product leadership role with ownership for portfolio strategy, roadmap, investment decisions, and cross‑functional execution.
Strong experience in Life Sciences enterprise software or adjacent regulated domains such as regulatory, labeling, submissions, quality, safety, clinical, medical device, or data/workflow platforms.
Demonstrated success modernizing or consolidating fragmented products into more scalable platform‑based offerings.
Strong product judgment in workflow‑heavy, data‑rich, enterprise environments where trust, traceability, and operational reliability matter.
Experience partnering deeply with engineering and architecture teams on platform strategy, API/integration strategy, data models, workflow systems, and AI‑enabled capabilities.
Ability to balance near‑term business realities with long‑term platform direction.
Strong commercial instinct, including experience partnering with go‑to‑market teams, supporting enterprise deals, and building product cases tied to growth, retention, and margin.
Exceptional communication and executive presence, with the ability to bring clarity to ambiguity and align senior stakeholders around choices.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with global regulatory or labeling workflows, health authority data, regional submissions, structured content, or artifact generation.
Knowledge of regulated software environments and controls, including auditability, validation, and human‑in‑the‑loop review.
Experience introducing AI/ML or intelligent automation into enterprise workflows in a governed and explainable way.
Experience in both software product environments and service‑heavy operating models, with the ability to help move organizations toward more scalable SaaS and platform motions.
Why This Role Matters
Life Sciences is at an inflection point. Customers increasingly want fewer disconnected tools, better workflow integration, stronger traceability, and more proactive intelligence embedded directly into the work they do every day. LexisNexis is investing to meet that need by evolving from fragmented products toward a more unified Life Sciences platform that supports regulatory insight, workflow execution, audit readiness, and scalable AI‑enabled operations. This role is central to making that transition real.
