    Senior Manager, Product and Solutions - Houston, United States - International SOS

    Default job background
    Description

    Overall Purpose Of The Job

    The Product and Solutions (P&S) Senior Manager for North America will be the Product Owner for the Consulting and Medical Services (MS) products and solutions targeted at the North America market with the primary responsibility of enabling the delivery of the Consulting and Medical Services P&S agenda and various initiatives to foster business growth


    Specifically, this position will:
    Lead the end-to-end process from ideation to product launch. This is very much a hybrid between a P&S Senior Manager and a Marketing Manager. The ability to understand and communicate concepts in both verbal and in written format is critical.

    Develop sales strategies for the different delivery channels (practices and regions).


    Introduce a robust process for assessing new products and solutions concepts to meet Clients' evolving needs and managing the development of these concepts to the final market launch.

    This includes identifying a market need, researching the competition, ideating a solution, developing a product roadmap, and building a minimum viable product (MVP).

    Support the sales execution by leveraging existing market sales teams and engaging directly with clients as may be required.


    The incumbent will work closely with the Practice Directors, Medical, Sales, Marketing, and management leadership and teams in North America (Medical Services & H3S), as well as with the Medical Services HQ Product and Solutions leadership and teams to ensure we leverage best practices and ensure the infrastructure, and capability are in place to manage the Consulting and Medical Services Product portfolios effectively.

    This is a shared role 50/50 between Medical Services North America and International SOS Consulting, Americas.

    With respect to Consulting, whilst the role is North American focused, any best practices will be shared with the Consulting leadership in Europe.

    The scope of the role requires extensive international and cross-cultural work with some travel.
