Platform Product Manager

Orion Group Life Sciences are currently recruiting a Senior Product Manager (Hybrid) on behalf of our Multinational Biopharmaceutical Client based in Dublin on an initial 12-Month contract with huge potential to extend.

5. Define success metrics (e.g. adoption, usage monitoring, reduction in manual requests)
6. Establish clear roles & responsibilities for ongoing operations post-launch

Experience, knowledge, skills:

1. Must-Have experience:
   • 3+ years product management experience with API or developer-facing products
   • Comfortable working with technical teams on authentication (e.g. OAuth/Okta), API design, and developer documentation
   • Experience taking a product from beta to general availability
   • Stakeholder management across technical and non-technical teams, within a global distributed company
