Product Director

Description

The company is a global healthcare technology business with about 95,000 employees in more than 150 countries. Its Patient Care Systems unit builds the connected ecosystem clinicians use to monitor, manage and protect patients who have implantable cardiac devices.

The unit links secure device connections, real-time data platforms, clinical tools and patient-facing experiences. It turns complex cardiac data into clear information so physicians can decide faster and patients can feel more confident about their care.

As Product Director you will shape and deliver the next generation of connected patient-care products and experiences. The portfolio covers patient-facing digital products, mobile apps, connected devices, embedded software, platform capabilities, cloud services, data and AI-enabled experiences.

You will set product direction, lead work from discovery through execution, and build products for patients and healthcare systems worldwide.

This is a hands-on role that moves between long-term strategy and near-term delivery, between customer needs and technical trade-offs, and between product vision and measurable results. You will also build Product Management in Galway, including its practices, operating mechanisms, partnerships and talent.

No two weeks look the same. You might speak with patients or clinicians, review product and operational data, set a multi-year direction, work through mobile or embedded-software trade-offs, assess an AI opportunity, or help leaders decide on an investment.

Responsibilities

• Set the product vision, strategy, outcome-based roadmaps and measurable goals for connected patient-care products and platform capabilities.
• Turn patient, clinical, customer, technical and business needs into ranked opportunities and clear direction for Engineering and Design.
• Own product results from discovery and business case through launch readiness, adoption, performance tracking, lifecycle decisions and ongoing improvement.
• Drive cross-functional work across mobile, embedded software, cloud, connected devices, platform services, data, AI, cybersecurity, clinical, regulatory, quality, commercial and operations teams.
• Weigh patient experience, safety, clinical and scientific rigor, security, privacy, regulation, feasibility, lifecycle needs, cost and business value when making decisions.
• Use customer research, field feedback, product analytics, experiments, operational evidence and market insight to find unmet needs and guide investment.
• Define success measures for quality, reliability, adoption, customer trust, patient and clinician value and economic impact.
• Assess AI-enabled product ideas and their trade-offs, including output quality, explainability, latency, cost, safety, security, privacy and responsible use.
• Align global stakeholders, share decisions and risks clearly, and build momentum in complex settings without relying on formal authority.
• Help make Galway a lasting product leadership centre that owns global outcomes and grows future Product Management talent.

Requirements

• An Honours Bachelor's degree and at least 10 years of product management, product leadership or equivalent experience.

• Strong skills in customer discovery, analysis, product judgment and business case development.
• Technical fluency across software, mobile applications, cloud platforms, APIs, connected devices, embedded systems, data products, AI/ML or related areas.
• Hands-on use of AI-assisted tools in daily product work, such as research, synthesis, analysis, roadmapping, requirements, communication, experimentation and decision support.
• Ability to spot and evaluate AI-enabled opportunities while weighing customer value, quality, explainability, risk, cost, privacy, security and responsible use.
• Ability to turn complex customer, clinical, technical and business information into clear product choices and workable priorities.
• Proven ability to influence across organizations, bring structure to ambiguity, and communicate with technical, clinical, business and executive audiences.
• Experience developing people, building team capability, or establishing product management practices and operating mechanisms.
• Preferred: experience working within global regulatory and quality frameworks such as FDA, EU MDR and ISO 13485, including leading design reviews, risk assessments and audit interactions.
• Preferred: a track record of building cybersecurity, privacy, reliability and safety-by-design principles into product architecture and backlog decisions.
• Preferred: experience in healthcare, medical devices, digital health, patient monitoring, connected devices or another regulated, safety-critical industry.
