Are you ready for this exciting challenge?
First Databank (FDB) is seeking an experienced Product Manager, Pharmacy Informatics with a proven track record of owning product strategy, building and managing roadmaps, and delivering healthcare software or data products. This is not a transition role for clinicians seeking to move into product management. Candidates should bring both product management depth and domain experience in pharmacy, health system workflow, or healthcare data.
We are specifically seeking a candidate with established product management experience who has directly owned product roadmaps, translated market and customer needs into requirements, partnered with engineering teams to deliver software products, and managed products through launch and ongoing optimization. Experience in clinical pharmacy, pharmacy informatics, health system workflow, or healthcare data is highly valued when paired with this product management foundation.
*This is a hybrid role based in either South San Francisco, California or Carmel, Indiana.*
What You'll Do

• Own product strategy, roadmap development, prioritization, and lifecycle management for pharmacy informatics and healthcare data solutions.
• Define product direction based on customer needs, workflow challenges, market opportunities, product performance, business goals, and regulatory considerations.
• Develop business cases, product requirements, and release plans for software and content-enabled solutions.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Clinical and Editorial, Sales, Marketing, and Quality Management to deliver products from concept through launch and continuous enhancement.
• Lead roadmap planning and prioritization, making clear tradeoff decisions across customer value, technical feasibility, business impact, and timing.
• Gather and synthesize feedback from customers, healthcare stakeholders, internal teams, and market research to inform product strategy and investment decisions.
• Use product metrics, healthcare data, market insights, and customer feedback to identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.
• Work with health system pharmacists, clinicians, informaticists, and healthcare IT leaders to understand medication-use workflows and ensure product-market fit.
• Support go-to-market readiness, product launches, adoption efforts, and post-launch optimization.
• Serve as a product leader who can connect healthcare workflow knowledge with disciplined product execution.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience with direct ownership of product strategy, roadmap development, prioritization, and delivery.
• Demonstrated experience bringing software, workflow, content, or data products from concept to launch and ongoing lifecycle management.
• Proven ability to write product requirements, manage prioritization, and partner with engineering teams to deliver product outcomes.
• Experience working cross-functionally with technical, commercial, operational, and subject matter expert stakeholders.
• Strong ability to translate customer needs, workflow challenges, and market insights into product strategy and actionable roadmaps.
• Experience using data, customer feedback, and business context to make product decisions and measure success.
• Healthcare industry experience, preferably in healthcare technology, pharmacy informatics, clinical workflow, health systems, or healthcare data.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field required; advanced degree preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Product management experience in healthcare software, healthcare data, clinical workflow tools, or pharmacy informatics solutions.
• Experience with medication-related workflows, clinical decision support, EHR-integrated products, or health system operational workflows.
• Background in clinical pharmacy, pharmacy informatics, or health system operations in addition to product management experience.
• Experience developing product roadmaps in regulated or clinically complex environments.
• PharmD, MBA, or other advanced degree preferred.

Important for Candidates
To be successful in this role, candidates must bring both:

• Established product management experience, including roadmap ownership, prioritization, requirements development, and cross-functional product delivery
• Relevant domain knowledge in pharmacy, healthcare data, clinical workflows, or health system operations

Candidates whose experience is primarily in clinical practice, pharmacy operations, or advisory work without direct product management ownership are unlikely to be a fit for this role.
