Overview 

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the roadmap, and execution of Guardant's customer-facing digital products, spanning both our physician- and patient-facing digital experiences. 

This is a strategy-through-execution role. You will set direction, sequence the roadmap, and drive delivery with Engineering, Design, Marketing & Commercial teams. You will be accountable for adoption and measured outcomes, not for features shipped. 

We are looking for someone who brings a consumer product mindset to healthcare. A systems thinker who can hold a multi-year platform view and still argue about a single screen. Someone with a genuine eye for what a good user-facing experience looks like — and a track record of shipping consumer-grade web and mobile products where that craft translated into business results: adoption, conversion, retention and growth.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Build and own the roadmap to deliver the product strategy for digital experiences, translating long-term vision into prioritized quarterly outcomes with explicit success metrics, and contribute the customer insight and market evidence that sharpens that strategy over time

• Lead end-to-end product execution, from requirements and acceptance criteria through scope trade-offs, launch readiness, staged rollout, and post-launch optimization, ensuring delivery against customer, business, and quality objectives. 

• Identify and prioritize opportunities to simplify core workflows—including ordering, task management, results comprehension, and scheduling—using customer insights and data to reduce friction and improve completion, comprehension, and satisfaction. 

• Develop and optimize product growth loops across entry points, activation, self-service, and notification-driven re-engagement, establishing hypotheses and measurable targets for adoption, conversion, and retention. 

• Define and champion the quality bar for AI-enabled experiences, defining evaluation criteria, safeguards, transparency standards, and launch thresholds appropriate for physician- and patient-facing use cases. 

• Define and instrument the product metric tree before launch; use funnel, cohort, experimentation, and qualitative insights to guide decisions, evaluate impact, and maintain rigor in interpreting results. 

• Partner deeply with Design and Engineering to shape information architecture, user flows, prototypes, and technical trade-offs; provide substantive product critique and embed accessibility, performance, and scalability into product requirements. 

• Influence portfolio-level investment and prioritization decisions, using customer and business evidence to recommend where Guardant should invest, accelerate, or deprioritize. 

• Use AI-enabled tools to rapidly prototype, test, and refine product concepts, accelerating learning and improving the quality of decisions before committing design and engineering capacity. 

• Influence and align partners across Medical Affairs, Compliance, Quality, Lab Operations, Commercial, Design, and Engineering, proactively incorporating regulatory, design-control, governance, and operational requirements into product plans.

Qualifications:

• Typically bachelor’s with ~12+ years (or 8+ with master’s / 5+ with PhD / 3+ with PharmD/MD). 

• 5+ years in product management with 3+ years owning external, user-facing web or mobile products end to end. 

• Track record of launching and scaling user-facing products with quantified outcomes in adoption, conversion, or retention, and the specifics of what you did to move them. 

• Demonstrated product-led growth experience: acquisition and activation funnels, onboarding, self-service, and lifecycle messaging. 

• Strong working knowledge of modern front-end and mobile technology - JavaScript frameworks, design systems, responsive design, API patterns, performance, accessibility- sufficient to hold a real trade-off conversation with senior engineers. 

• Hands-on fluency in product analytics and experimentation (Pendo, Amplitude, or similar); comfortable writing queries to interrogate data. 

• Works AI-natively: uses modern AI tooling to prototype flows, pressure-test concepts, and synthesize research, and moves faster because of it rather than waiting on design and engineering cycles. 

• Experience owning a product surface with non-deterministic output - setting acceptance criteria and evaluation for quality, and designing for the cases where the system is wrong. 

• Excellent written communication and a proven ability to ship inside shared engineering capacity, legacy systems, and competing stakeholder priorities. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in healthcare, digital health, or another regulated environment (HIPAA/PHI, FDA, CLIA/CAP, SOC 2). 

• Familiarity with clinician workflow and EMR/EHR integration (HL7 v2, FHIR, SMART on FHIR, Epic). 

• Experience with clinical decision support or other high-stakes recommendation experiences. 

AI & Digital Fluency

• Demonstrate curiosity, sound judgment, and the ability to critically evaluate and responsibly leverage AI-enabled tools in accordance with company policies, ethical standards, and regulatory requirements to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of work.
