Product Manager

About the Role

At Techcyte, we specialize in developing SaaS solutions for microscopy testing by leveraging computer vision and deep machine learning technologies.

The primary aim of our product management team is to bring new products to market, and then refine the products and strategy to meet revenue targets.

PMs own products throughout all phases of the lifecycle.

Working as a Product Manager at Techcyte is a challenging, yet rewarding role. Our PMs regularly interface with technical experts in medicine, biology, laboratory operations, clinical research, regulatory affairs, optics, machine learning, and software development, but at times may need to fill holes in expertise themselves. PMs are in charge of combining multi-disciplinary knowledge into a shared team vision for the product. This overarching vision also encompasses a comprehensive commercialization strategy aligned with the company's objectives and values. Product Managers regularly interact with partner customers, development teams, a data manager/subject matter expert, and management.
