The Opportunity

 

We are seeking a visionary Senior CRM Product Owner to spearhead the digital transformation of our U.S. Oncology customer engagement ecosystem. This high-impact role sits at the intersection of life sciences and cutting-edge technology. You will lead the activation of the Salesforce Life Science Cloud suite and modernize our integration landscape to create a seamless, data-driven experience for healthcare providers and patients.

As the bridge between global innovation and local execution, you will partner with global product teams to adapt core platforms into high-performing, U.S.-specific solutions, ensuring life-saving oncology treatments reach the right patients at the right time

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the technical implementation and optimization of Salesforce Life Science Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Data Cloud.

  • Pioneer the deployment of Agentforce to automate customer interactions and enhance field force productivity through autonomous agents.

  • Translate complex U.S. OBU business requirements (e.g., sample management, patient services, physician targeting) into scalable technical architectures and reference designs.

AI-Driven Omnichannel Orchestration:

  • Design and drive the technical strategy for omnichannel orchestration across Salesforce Life Science Cloud and Marketing Cloud.

  • Leverage Data Cloud as the "intelligent brain" to enable real-time, closed-loop engagement.

  • You will be responsible for ensuring that AI-driven insights (e.g., Next Best Action) are seamlessly surfaced to field reps in CRM while simultaneously triggering personalized digital journeys in Marketing Cloud, creating a unified experience for U.S. Oncology HCPs.

Integration & Ecosystem Modernization

  • Overhaul the peripheral integration ecosystem, transitioning from legacy middleware toward real-time, API-first architectures.

  • Define and enforce standards for event-driven integrations and microservices.

  • Ensure seamless data orchestration between Salesforce Data Cloud and internal/external oncology data sources (e.g., claims data, EHR integrations, specialty pharmacy feeds), prioritizing data quality, lineage, and latency.

Global-to-Local Strategic Alignment

  • Serve as the primary technical liaison to Global Product teams, extending the "Global Core" baseline to meet unique U.S. regulatory and market demands.

  • Establish feedback loops that influence the global roadmap to account for U.S. Oncology’s specific technical constraints and opportunities.

Engineering Leadership

  • Lead and mentor a squad of engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, agile delivery, and continuous learning.

  • Set engineering standards, conduct design/code reviews, and drive DevSecOps practices (CI/CD, automated testing, observability).

  • Oversee technical deliverables from external implementation partners and Salesforce Professional Services to ensure alignment with quality expectations and architecture principles.

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: RAG, AI Agents, Product Ownership, Technical Architecture, and Omnichannel Orchestration. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project — this role expects it to be a running habit.
