The Opportunity
Juvare is seeking a Director of Product Management to lead our platform and vertical Product Management organization and directly own the strategy, roadmap, commercialization, and adoption of Juvare AI.
This broad, player-coach role will align Juvare’s markets, products, shared platform capabilities, product adoption, and New Product Innovation. The Director will partner closely with the NPI Accelerator Team to move promising concepts from market validation into commercially viable, scalable offerings while developing a high-performing Product Management team.
Key Responsibilities
Product Management Leadership
Lead, coach, and develop Juvare’s Platform and Vertical Product Managers; establish clear roles, decision rights, performance expectations, and operating rhythms.
Hold Product Managers accountable for customer problems, market strategy, differentiation, product health, adoption, and commercial outcomes—not only feature delivery.
Maintain an integrated portfolio roadmap and resolve cross-product priorities, investment tradeoffs, capability overlaps, and dependencies.
Partner with Engineering and Design to empower teams around clear problems and measurable customer and business outcomes.
Portfolio Strategy, Growth, and Product Adoption
Translate Juvare’s company strategy into a coherent portfolio strategy across Federal, SLED, Healthcare, Critical Infrastructure, and shared platform capabilities.
Build and institutionalize a repeatable Juvare Growth Playbook for net-new products, zero-to-one and one-to-many growth, adjacent-market expansion, and cross-sell and upsell within the installed base.
Define the evidence required before investment, including strategic fit, validated customer need, outside-in market evidence, differentiation, funding and willingness to pay, revenue potential, repeatability, technical feasibility, and delivery economics.
Own Juvare’s product-adoption measurement framework, observability, and Pendo operating model, including instrumentation standards, Core Events, page and feature tagging, segmentation, dashboards, data quality, and recurring portfolio reviews.
Own Juvare’s product data strategy, partnering with PMs and the Partnership program, to enable embedded data that drives differentiated insights, AI capabilities, and commercial value across the product portfolio.
New Product Innovation and NPI Accelerator Partnership
Own the Product organization’s New Product Innovation process and serve as the primary Product Management counterpart to the NPI Accelerator Team.
Partner with the Accelerator to define the product opportunity and target market, customer discovery and early-adopter strategy, prototype and first-version objectives, pricing hypotheses, learning goals, Alpha/Beta/LA/GA criteria, and organizational handoff.
Ensure new concepts are validated for customer value, commercial viability, strategic fit, usability, security, supportability, and repeatability, not merely technical feasibility.
Define graduation criteria and post-graduation ownership, roadmap, staffing, support, implementation, and go-to-market plans.
Maintain a transparent NPI portfolio and help scale successful offerings from design partners into repeatable, referenceable, market-ready products.
Juvare AI Strategy and Adoption
Own the vision, strategy, roadmap, prioritization, packaging, and performance of Juvare AI.
Define differentiated JAI value across Juvare’s markets and develop an integrated roadmap spanning embedded assistance, role-aware agents, workflow automation, decision support, analytics, insights, and agent orchestration.
Prioritize JAI use cases based on customer value, market demand, data readiness, portfolio reuse, commercial potential, and operational outcomes; ensure JAI is embedded in the workflows where customers perform critical work.
Partner with Engineering, Architecture, Security, Legal, and Compliance to ensure JAI is secure, explainable, governable, auditable, and appropriate for regulated and mission-critical environments.
Establish and monitor measurable JAI adoption goals, including activation, repeat usage, workflow penetration, time to value, task completion and time savings, trust and satisfaction, expansion, revenue influence, and referenceability.
Work with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Services, and Support on positioning, demonstrations, enablement, onboarding, adoption programs, and customer success plans.
Commercialization and Customer Leadership
Maintain direct engagement with strategic customers, prospects, advisory groups, early adopters, and customer-facing teams.
Ensure every major launch includes validated positioning, pricing, packaging, enablement, operational readiness, Pendo instrumentation, adoption targets, in-app onboarding or guidance, and post-launch measurement.
Connect customer needs and adoption evidence to platform investment and vertical roadmaps, and represent Product Management in major customer, partner, executive, board, and investor discussions.
What Success Looks Like
During the first 12 months, this leader will have:
Established clear accountability across Product Management and an integrated portfolio roadmap connecting market solutions, platform capabilities, Juvare Exchange, data, and AI.
Implemented a repeatable Growth Playbook and NPI process with clear investment, stage-gate, graduation, handoff, and scale criteria.
Build and lead customer advisory boards and practitioner communities to inform product strategy, validate new offerings, strengthen adoption, and develop referenceable customer advocates.
Developed a focused JAI roadmap with measurable adoption and commercial objectives.
Established a portfolio-wide product health and adoption framework in Pendo, with reliable instrumentation, executive dashboards, and a recurring review cadence.
Improved activation, time to value, feature and workflow adoption, repeat usage, and customer referenceability across priority products, especially JAI.
