Job Title: Product Manager 2
Location: San Jose, CA 95110 (Hybrid)
Contract Duration: 7 months (Possible Extension)
Pay Rate Range: $90.00 - $98.59/hr. on W2
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DO
Why this role exists:
- Client uses an AI-powered intelligence layer to learn a company’s brand and content standards, then assemble and validate marketing content against them.
- We are extending ABI beyond visual brand compliance to textual and content compliance with externally codified regulations, specifically pharmaceutical and medical marketing.
- We need a Product Manager who knows MLR (Medical, Legal, and Regulatory) review and governance from the inside, to build and manage an AI-assisted compliance validation solution for pharma and life sciences.
- The goal is for marketing content to reach MLR review already compliant by design, with fewer review cycles.
- You will own the product from requirements through pilot to launch, working with the ABI engineering team and top global pharma customers.
What you will do:
- Own the product vision and roadmap. Define the pharma MLR validation solution, prioritize use cases, and set the path from pilot to general availability.
- Define requirements with MLR customers. Run discovery with reviewers, brand, medical, legal and regulatory teams. Capture personas, jobs to be done, user journeys, pain points, and current tools and workflows.
- Turn regulations into machine-readable knowledge. Work with MLR experts and engineers to understand how to codify regulatory requirements and cover claims and references, fair balance, ISI/SSI, label consistency, disclaimers, disclosures, and channel rules.
- Decide where AI helps and where it must not. Map the review process, including Veeva PromoMats workflows, and define human-in-the-loop experiences with audit trails and defensibility.
- Manage delivery. Write requirements and user stories, prioritize the backlog, and work daily with engineering, design and data science.
- Shape go-to-market. Understand buyers, influencers and users, budget ownership and buying cycles, and competitive alternatives.
- Define client’s differentiation and right to win and support pricing and positioning.
- Extend the playbook. Build a reusable life-sciences approach and identify how it could extend to other regulated industries such as financial services and regulated consumer goods.
Must have:
- Product management experience building and shipping enterprise SaaS software, ideally AI/ML, content or workflow products, including writing requirements and working with engineering in an agile environment.
- Customer discovery and market analysis: based on interaction with customer practitioners and senior leaders, ability to define personas, buyer/influencer/user mapping, competitive analysis, and clear communication to senior leadership.
- Hands-on MLR/PRC experience in pharma, medical devices, biotech industries - such as ad-promo/regulatory reviewer, medical reviewer, MLR operations lead, or a product owner for MLR or promotional-review tooling.
- Familiarity with HCP and DTC materials across channels: email, web, social, banners, IVAs
- Credibility with senior MLR, legal and regulatory stakeholders: ability to explain AI-assisted human-in-the-loop compliance validation across customer organizations.
Skills:
Nice to have:
- AI or automation in MLR (e.g., Veeva AI, vendor tools), including precision and recall
- Modular content or claims library strategy
- Ex-US codes (EFPIA, ABPI) and EU market experience
- Market sizing from secondary research
Working arrangements:
- NDA required with customers. Customer data stays in customer-approved environments.
- No current work for the end customer or for a competing AI vendor. Candidates must disclose prior employers for a conflict check.
- Please reach out if this aligns with your expertise, or if you can recommend someone with relevant experience.
Education:
- Masters in relevant field.
- 7-15 years of experience is preferred.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the health, well-being, and financial security of our employees and their families. Eligible employees may receive:
- Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
