Job Summary:

Werfen Active Connect is Werfen’s cloud-based connected-service platform. It links our Hemostasis, Acute Care and Autoimmunity analyzers in customer laboratories to Werfen’s global service organization through an on-premise gateway installed in the customer’s network, enabling secure remote access, remote software delivery and on-demand retrieval of instrument logs. It is a multi-tenant SaaS product built on AWS, designed with data minimization, tenant isolation and data residency at its core, and released under medical-device software controls.

The platform has completed its first controlled release and is moving into customer deployment across multiple product lines and regions. We are looking for a Solution Leader who will own Active Connect end to end
: its vision and roadmap, each release, its launch and adoption across affiliates, and its transition into a governed, scalable operation. This is a product-ownership role, not a support role. You will decide what the product does next, defend those decisions with data, and be accountable for whether customers and service teams actually use it.

You will report to the Expert Solution Leader, Cloud Platforms, and work across a wide matrix: the Digital Factory engineering teams, R&D and Quality/Regulatory in the business units that manufacture the connected instruments, Global Service and Support, commercial affiliates, IT, Cybersecurity and the Global Privacy Office.

• Interoperability. Own the compatibility matrix between Active Connect and the instrument and middleware software versions it supports, and align Active Connect releases with the independent release cadences of each business unit.

Delivery

• Backlog and sprint planning. Break approved product and software requirements into user stories and technical tasks with clear, testable acceptance criteria, sized and sequenced for upcoming sprints. Lead backlog refinement and sprint planning with the Scrum teams, keep work refined at least one sprint ahead, and set sprint goals that move the release plan forward.
• Progress and feature completion. Track sprint and release progress against plan. Report feature completion, scope changes, slipped work and delivery risk to stakeholders and leadership, with a recommendation attached, not only…
