Ex, alEx, and vend

Ex product lines. Trusted by healthcare systems nationwide, IPA combines innovation with measurable operational impact. Now, we're building the leadership team to accelerate our next chapter — and that starts with getting product and marketing right.

We're looking for a Director of Product Management & Marketing to sit at the intersection of strategy and execution — owning the vision for our product portfolio while driving the go-to-market engine that brings it to life. This is a senior leadership role with real influence: over our roadmap, our brand narrative, and the team you'll build around you.

If you're a product-first leader who knows how to translate customer insight into market-winning strategy, we want to talk.

Lead with Vision

• Define and own the product roadmap, aligning it with company strategy, customer needs, and market opportunity.

• Partner with Engineering, Sales, Service, and Executive Leadership to ensure products are built with purpose and launched with impact.

• Act as a key voice in annual planning, budgeting, and resource allocation.

Know the Market Deeply

• Develop a nuanced understanding of the healthcare provider landscape to continuously sharpen product strategy.

• Build detailed customer personas and an end-to-end customer journey framework grounded in both qualitative and quantitative research.

• Lead ongoing competitive analysis to identify gaps, emerging trends, and untapped growth segments.

Drive Product Excellence

• Lead full product lifecycle — from discovery and definition through development, launch, and iteration.

• Champion a prioritization framework that balances near-term revenue with long-term product vision.

• Define and track key product KPIs, reporting performance insights to executive leadership.

Own Go-to-Market

• Develop and execute GTM strategies for new products and feature releases.

• Craft positioning, messaging, and value propositions that clearly differentiate IPA in the market.

• Oversee sales enablement materials, case studies, competitive battle cards, and product collateral.

• Identify and participate in strategic industry events and trade shows that put IPA in front of the right audiences.

Build & Develop the Team

• Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing product and marketing team.

• Foster a culture of experimentation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• 6+ years of experience in product management, or a combination of product management and marketing (product-leaning experience preferred).

• 2+ years leading and developing teams.

• Proven success owning a product roadmap and executing GTM strategy in a B2B environment.

• Strong analytical mindset — you turn data into decisions, not just slides.

• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills; you can influence a room at any level.

• Experience navigating cross-functional, fast-paced, high-growth environments.

• Experience in healthcare, healthcare technology, or SaaS.

• Familiarity with tools like Jira, Productboard, Hub Spot, Salesforce, Mixpanel, or Amplitude.

• MBA or advanced degree in business, marketing, or a related field.

• Experience with agile/scrum methodologies.

• Lead with strategy but aren't afraid to get into the details when it matters.

• Build strong cross-functional relationships — especially with Sales and Engineering — and know how to align diverse stakeholders around a shared vision.

• Balance creative instincts with analytical rigor, and bring both to every decision.

• Stay relentlessly curious about customers, the competitive landscape, and how IPA can continue to lead in infection prevention.

• Thrive in a high-growth, build-it-as-you-scale environment where ambiguity is fuel, not friction.

• A seat…
