About this opportunity

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

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.

Omnichannel Mastery

Expert-level understanding of closed-loop marketing and omnichannel orchestration. Proven ability to architect solutions where CRM activities and digital triggers (email, web, social) are synchronized via a central AI/data engine.

Salesforce Ecosystem

Proven track record managing Veeva CRM or Salesforce Life Science Cloud suite. Deep expertise in Salesforce Data Cloud and Marketing Cloud.

Integration Design

Mastery of RESTful API design, Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), and asynchronous messaging patterns using tools like Kafka or MuleSoft. Experience managing complex data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes, specifically ensuring data integrity across disparate clinical and commercial sources.

Agile Leadership

Proven ability to lead Scrum/Kanban squads, manage technical debt, and drive a DevSecOps culture (CI/CD pipelines, GitFlow, Automated Testing).

Preferred Skills

Emerging AI

Domain Knowledge

Cloud Architecture

Proficiency in AWS or Azure cloud services, specifically for serverless computing (Lambda/Functions) or data warehousing (Snowflake).

Vendor Management

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
