Associate Director of Product Management - Healthcare

Salary Range: 150000 to 175000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

Job Opportunity

IQM is seeking a strategic, hands-on Associate Director of Product Managementto lead our Healthcare vertical. In this role, you will own the product strategy and roadmap for IQM’s healthcare portfolio, starting with products that help pharmaceutical and life sciences brands and their agencies reach and engage healthcare providers (HCPs), and expanding into direct-to-consumer (DTC) and patient audiences over time.

You’ll spend real time with brand teams, agency strategists, media buyers, and our own healthcare sellers, and you’ll form a clear point of view on what the market needs, not just what the loudest request says. You’ll turn that point of view into a prioritized roadmap and clear requirements, and work with distributed engineering, data science, and design teams across North America and India to ship it. This role is ideal for someone who has worked inside the pharma and healthcare marketing ecosystem, understands how HCP campaigns are actually planned, bought, and measured, and wants to build the product strategy for a growing vertical rather than inherit one.

This is the first dedicated product leadership role for IQM’s healthcare vertical.

This role is hybrid, meaning team members are expected to work one to two days per week in person at one of the office locations in either NY/DC.

At this time, IQM does not sponsor new applicants for employment authorization for this position.

Why This Role Matters

IQM has spent more than a decade mastering the art of data-driven, compliant advertising in one of the most complex verticals in the country — politics. Our platform brings together audience intelligence, identity resolution, programmatic activation, and compliance capabilities in a way that few others can. Now, we're applying that same proven model to healthcare, and we're looking for the people who will help us build it.

Pharmaceutical and life sciences advertising operates under some of the strictest regulatory requirements in the industry. It demands precision, compliance, and a deep understanding of both the data and the audience. That's exactly the kind of problem IQM was built to solve and exactly why this moment matters.

What You'll Do

Healthcare Product Strategy: Own the vision, multi-year strategy, and roadmap for IQM’s healthcare portfolio, starting with HCP and provider-focused products for pharma brands and agencies and extending into DTC and patient audiences. Decide where IQM should build, partner, or improve what already exists.

Market and Customer Discovery: Run structured discovery with pharma brand teams, healthcare agencies, media buyers, data partners, and IQM’s healthcare sellers. Separate recurring market needs from one-off requests, and bring an independent read of the market back to the team.

Roadmap and Prioritization: Turn customer and market problems into clear requirements, use cases, acceptance criteria, and success metrics. Prioritize based on evidence: customer impact, revenue potential, feasibility, compliance risk, and launch timing.

HCP Data and Audience Products: Own products built on provider and clinician data, including NPI-level identity, specialty and practice-setting targeting, audience construction, onboarding, and activation. Evaluate data quality (coverage, match rates, freshness, scale) and assess potential data partners.

Planning, Activation, and Measurement: Improve how healthcare customers forecast, plan, activate, and measure campaigns across channels. Own requirements for reporting and HCP measurement that are transparent, defensible, and useful to brand and agency teams.

Compliance by Design: Build FDA promotional requirements, platform policies, and health-data privacy obligations (including HIPAA, where patient data is involved) into product design from the start, working with Legal and Compliance early.

Execution with Distributed Teams: Lead products from discovery through release and adoption, working closely with engineering, data science, design, and QA teams across North America and India. Give teams the context and clarity to move quickly without waiting on you.

Performance and Adoption: Define success metrics, track adoption and customer outcomes, and partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Product Marketing so what we ship is used and drives revenue.

Who You Are

10+ years of experience across healthcare or pharma marketing technology, health data, programmatic media, or product management, with the most recent 3 to 5 years owning product strategy and roadmap at a senior or director level.

Direct experience in the pharma, life sciences, healthcare agency, health data, or healthcare advertising ecosystem. You understand how pharma brands and agencies plan and buy HCP media.

Strong understanding of HCP targeting and data: NPI-based audiences, specialty and prescriber targeting, endemic and non-endemic channels, and how HCP campaigns are measured.

A track record of defining what needs to be built, setting the execution plan, and delivering it with engineering teams, including teams in other locations and time zones.

Comfortable in front of customers. You can lead a discovery conversation with a brand team or agency and walk away with a point of view, not just a list of requests.

Experience working in a regulated, deadline-driven environment where errors carry real consequences.

Analytical, organized, and comfortable making sound decisions with incomplete information.

Clear written and verbal communicator across technical, commercial, and executive audiences.

We're Excited If You Have

Experience at an HCP-focused platform, health data provider, healthcare agency, or DSP with a healthcare practice.

Experience with DTC or patient audience products, privacy-safe patient data, or data tokenization.

Experience evaluating and integrating data, identity, or measurement partners.

Familiarity with FDA/OPDP promotional rules, MLR review workflows, and health-data privacy frameworks.

Hands-on technical curiosity: SQL, APIs, analytics tools, or prototyping.
