Director of Product Management

We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead Pager Health’s Navigation portfolio, encompassing Clinical, Program, Provider, and Benefits Navigation. This role is ideal for a seasoned, hands-on product leader who combines strong inbound product management capabilities with portfolio-level, market-facing (outbound) product leadership, and is passionate about developing product managers into well-rounded product leaders.

Reporting to the VP of Product Management, the Director owns the product strategy, roadmap, market alignment, and outcomes for navigation experiences that sit at the core of Pager Health’s value proposition. This includes responsibility not only for what is built, but also ensuring the portfolio is commercially viable, clearly differentiated, and aligned to real buyer and user problems. You will lead your team’s work with design, engineering, clinical, data, and go-to-market partners to deliver intuitive, scalable, and outcomes-driven navigation solutions that improve access to care and reduce friction across the healthcare ecosystem.

This role balances hands-on product leadership with people management. The Director will actively coach and mentor a team of Product Managers whose primary focus is inbound product management, while also remaining comfortable diving into discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, and delivery as needed. Simultaneously, the Director will help their team build

strength in outbound product management skills, including market understanding, portfolio thinking, pricing awareness, and go-to-market partnership.

Hold Product Managers accountable for demonstrated growth in outbound product management competencies over time, including market insights, portfolio thinking, and commercial awareness.

· Support career development by modeling senior-level product thinking, providing structured feedback, and creating opportunities for PMs to grow in scope, confidence, and impact.

Market-Centered Product Development
