A proven track record in building consumer-facing products, leadership in agile environments, and expertise in compliance-focused sectors like healthcare or finance are essential.

As a part of a mission-driven organization, you'll have the opportunity to influence patient-centered care and work in an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives and collaborative teamwork.

The VP of Product & Engineering at Parsley Health will leverage a mix of AI-driven technologies and low-code/no-code tools to enhance product development and engineering workflows. These technologies will ensure efficient outputs while maintaining high quality and user experience standards in our health solutions.

When developing a product roadmap, it's essential to engage cross-functional teams to gather diverse insights. I prioritize understanding user needs and market trends, integrating feedback from clinical and operational staff. I'd typically utilize agile methodologies to adapt the roadmap based on iterative testing and user engagement, ensuring we remain aligned with our values at Parsley Health.

Ensuring compliance in healthcare product development involves a thorough understanding of relevant regulations like HIPAA. I advocate for building compliance checks into every phase of product development, from design through implementation. Collaborating with legal and regulatory teams is key to maintaining data security and privacy.

In my previous roles, I successfully integrated AI tools to optimize product features and enhance user experiences. For example, I implemented machine learning algorithms to personalize user interactions, which directly increased user engagement metrics. I look forward to applying similar strategies at Parsley Health.

Fostering collaboration between product and engineering teams requires open communication and a shared vision. I encourage regular alignment meetings, where teams can discuss objectives, share updates, and brainstorm solutions together. Emphasizing a culture of respect and trust is also essential for ensuring both teams work seamlessly towards common goals.

My process for utilizing low-code/no-code tools revolves around identifying tasks that can benefit from rapid prototyping or iteration. I analyze the product requirements and team capabilities, selecting tools that allow for collaboration among non-technical staff while ensuring quality control and governance in the output.

I measure the success of a product management strategy using key performance indicators such as user satisfaction, retention rates, and engagement levels. Regular feedback from users and stakeholders is also crucial to evaluate our effectiveness in meeting objectives and to identify areas for improvement.

Absolutely! In my previous role, I led a cross-functional team on a project that revamped an existing product feature. I guided the team through an agile development cycle, ensuring continuous feedback loops and user testing. The project improved user engagement by 40%, demonstrating the power of collaborative effort and agile methodologies.

Integrating customer feedback into product development is vital for creating user-centric solutions. I implement feedback loops through surveys and user testing sessions. Additionally, I foster direct communication channels with customers to ensure their input is considered throughout the development process.

My motivation for working in health tech stems from a deep belief in the potential of technology to improve lives. I am passionate about creating solutions that enhance patient wellness and transform healthcare delivery. Being part of a mission-driven organization like Parsley Health is an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to this vision.

Handling conflicts within a team requires open dialogue and empathetic listening. I encourage team members to express their views and facilitate discussions to reach a consensus. By addressing conflicts constructively and transparently, we can maintain a healthy team dynamic and stay focused on our shared goals.
