Senior Director, Services as a Product

In a strategic shift toward providing differentiated service, Client is introducing a product leader role for service, accountable for the overall business impact of the collective service delivered by Client as part of its product portfolio.

Initial focus will be:

Creating a vision for the customer experience of the future and helping the organization understand what it means to productize service

Fully defining the service offering(s) that accompany Client’s portfolio of hardware and software products

Establishing the criteria by which service impact can be measured over time and creating a scorecard

Developing a multi-year service product roadmap, including incorporation of a proactive service approach into products and services as they are developed and enhanced

Gaining buy-in from key stakeholders in the organization on the plan

Working collaboratively with the service organization(s) to deliver service against standards

With alignment, focus will move toward execution planning – working closely with the operations, product, and technology teams to understand Client’s current challenges in supporting complex technical products in patient care environments and developing practical, well-coordinated plans to drive toward desired outcomes.

As the product leader for service, you will monitor and report on overall performance and work collaboratively to meet objectives. You will define, own and drive the overall product roadmap, ensuring timely delivery of service offerings in alignment with hardware, software and analytics solutions.

Ideally, you will have some knowledge of pharmacy operations in a variety of contexts (large hospital systems, post-acute care, specialty pharmacies, retail) and an understanding of operational challenges, roles and responsibilities and stakeholders.
