Product Manager

Full-time

Description

About the Role:
We’re looking for a Product Manager ready to own the full lifecycle of a defined product line—from discovery through go-to-market, ongoing optimization, and end-of-life decisions. This role is central to how Safeguard Medical delivers innovation to first responders and healthcare professionals across the globe. You'll work cross-functionally with NPI, Sales, Regulatory, Engineering, and Supply Chain to bring clarity, speed, and impact to our product strategy.

You’ll also play a key role in helping redefine what product management looks like at Safeguard—bringing structure, voice-of-customer insights, and cross-functional leadership to a team in build mode.

What You’ll Own:

• Full ownership of a product line, including strategic planning, roadmap development, lifecycle management, and performance tracking.
• Lead product commercialization efforts, including launch planning, product positioning, channel enablement, and field training.
• Partner closely with NPI to translate unmet customer needs into commercially viable solutions and ensure alignment from concept through launch.
• Develop and execute global GTM strategies in partnership with Sales and Marketing to drive adoption across direct and channel markets.
• Analyze market trends, customer feedback, competitive intel, and business data to guide decisions and defend trade-offs.
• Identify product gaps or enhancement opportunities and maintain a clear prioritization backlog using frameworks.

Requirements

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or related field.
• 3–5 years of product management experience, ideally in medical devices or adjacent regulated industries.
• Demonstrated success managing product roadmaps, launch plans, and P&L ownership.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills—especially with NPI, Sales, Regulatory, and Engineering.
• Comfort operating in both strategic and tactical modes; you can write a business case and dig into field-level feedback.
• Excellent communicator who can influence without authority and clearly explain complex trade-offs.
• Familiarity with agile principles and product development methodologies.

Other Requirements:

• Up to 25% travel, including international.
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. and work from the Huntersville, NC office.
