Assistant Data Product Manager Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

The Mission
At VPL, we modernize pharmacy supply chains to improve patient outcomes.
As the Product Manager for Data Products, you will be responsible for the strategy, execution, and day-to-day management of VPL's reporting and analytics products.

This role is ideal for an experienced Product Manager who enjoys working with data-driven products and understands how to turn customer problems into valuable software solutions. While experience with data products is beneficial, your primary responsibility is leading the product-not building the underlying data architecture or dashboards.
