We are on a continuous journey to develop a differentiated portfolio of solutions to meet the rapidly changing expectations and models in the delivery of healthcare. As we continue to grow, we are actively seeking innovative, experienced Product Leaders who are laser-focused on delivering the outcomes that matter most to our healthcare customers and their patients. 

We are seeking multiple Senior Directors of Product Management that will drive growth of an assigned Nuance Healthcare Portfolio.  The candidates will lead a team of product managers and product owners and work closely across the organization including R&D, Marketing, and Customer Success services to lead the business justification, roadmap, and business and pricing models required to achieve the customer, market, and financial goals of the business.
