About Us:

At AssistIQ we are dedicated to creating a more efficient and transparent healthcare supply chain by fixing one of the core problems - providers lack accurate data and insights on their supply and implant usage. Our AI-driven software solution provides highly accurate, seamless capture of supply and implant usage in real-time, and generates actionable insights to healthcare systems, enabling better revenue capture and reduced waste, ultimately leading to better value of care and better outcomes for patients.

As an associate product manager, you will be a key member of the product team working closely with our engineering teams to ensure that we are designing, building and delivering high quality products for our customers. We are looking for a highly hands-on Associate Product Manager who can turn product priorities and customer needs into clear, executable plans for Engineering and QA.

Our solution is used in clinical settings, we expect you to be comfortable in a hospital environment  and interact with both clinical and non-clinical stakeholders.

We expect you to comfortably move between clinical teams (e.g. nurses, physicians), administrative stakeholders (e.g. finance, procurement), hospital IT teams, third party vendors and internal teams. Teamwork, professionalism, confidentiality, project management, understanding of software development and communication are essential.
