Senior Vice President, Product Engineering

Title

SVP, Product Engineering

Location

Hybrid, US-based — preference for Eastern or Central time zones; not considering West Coast-based candidates

Client

Our client is a well-established, market-leading organization in the clinical space. The division builds industry-leading assessments used to identify ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and broader areas of brain function, memory, and motor skill development across the lifespan. Its tools are trusted by clinical psychologists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists, and it is widely regarded as a category leader by its competitors.

The business is in the midst of a major transformation — moving from legacy, bespoke products into a modern, SaaS-based platform ecosystem, with an established domestic model and meaningful international growth ahead. This is a sizable, high-revenue business at an inflection point, with strong existing infrastructure and a clear strategic direction, now investing in outside product and engineering leadership to accelerate execution.

The Role

This is a newly created role, formed by splitting a combined Product & Engineering leadership position into two dedicated, equally-weighted partner roles as part of a broader reorganization. This posting is for the Product leader; a parallel Engineering leader will be hired alongside it, and the two will work in close partnership.

Reporting Directly To a Senior Business Leader, This Person Will Own Product Strategy And Execution Across a Mid-sized Product Organization, Including Platform Product Managers, Subject-matter-expert Content Product Managers, And An Emerging New-product Team. You Will

• Lead the organization's cross-functional product leadership forum, driving prioritization, investment recommendations, and roadmap ownership in equal partnership with Engineering leadership
• Own a cost center and P&L, including budgeting, margin performance, and annual revenue planning across a large, diverse portfolio of individual assessment products
• Partner closely with executive leadership to evaluate team and business performance through structured planning cycles
• Represent the business externally with customers and partners, including in new partnership and deal conversations
• Mature and scale an already-defined SaaS ecosystem strategy — this is an execution and maturation mandate, not a from-scratch strategy build
• Help lead future growth vectors, including potential M&A integration and international expansion

Must-Have Qualifications

• Proven success leading product organizations of comparable scale and complexity — large, multi-product platform portfolios with substantial P&L responsibility
• Direct, hands-on experience leading a transformation from bespoke/custom products to a scalable SaaS platform model
• A technical or engineering background — candidates who have operated as engineers or come from technology-first companies are strongly preferred
• A demonstrated customer-driven product philosophy — building based on customer discovery and validated need, not internally-driven specs
• Prior experience having already led a similar digital transformation or modernization effort (not a first-time attempt)

Pluses

• Experience in HealthTech, or medical device product leadership
• Experience operating in regulated or highly complex markets (healthtech, medical device, fintech, govtech)
• Candidates from smaller organizations or slightly lower scope looking to step up and apply their skills at a larger scale

Compensation & Benefits

• Level: Senior leadership
• Base salary: ~$300,0000 + / -
• Bonus: 25%+ annual target
• Equity: Included
• Start date: Target start this Q4

Misc

• No advanced degree (MBA, etc.) required
• Strongest-fit candidates tend to be mission-driven — genuinely motivated by the impact of the services on the professionals and communities they support
• This is a business-critical, high-priority search with no internal succession candidate identified
