Help us get medicines to market faster
At Vimachem, we build the software that powers pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing. Since 2015, we've developed the industry's only AI-enabled MES platform purpose-built for Life Sciences, combining MES, IIoT, and Pharma 4.0 capabilities into a single, modern system used across pharma sites globally.
We're growing rapidly and expanding our product team. We've been recognized as a "Great Place to Work" for multiple consecutive years, and our culture is fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven.
About the role
Vimachem’s GMP Efficiency product line is powered by real-time data from
300+ connected machines across pharmaceutical manufacturing sites
. This creates a unique opportunity to build
AI-driven products in an industry where high-quality, structured manufacturing data is extremely rare.
You will work at the intersection of:
- Real-time industrial data (IIoT)
- Manufacturing analytics (OEE, process efficiency)
- AI/ML applications (anomaly detection, performance insights, optimization)
Unlike most AI roles that rely on synthetic or limited datasets, you will have access to
live production data from regulated pharmaceutical environments
, enabling you to build
high-impact, real-world AI applications.
A note on the title.
This is a Director role because of scope and accountability - you own a full product line, set its direction, and are answerable for its commercial outcomes. But it is
a hands-on, individual-contributor role
. You will personally write specs, run backlog refinement, sit with engineering, demo the product, and join customer implementations. We are not looking for someone who wants to step away from the craft of product management.
You will operate across three dimensions:
- Hands-on product ownership
- Personally drive the roadmap, write detailed requirements, prioritize the backlog, and work hands-on with engineering through sprint cycles
What you'll do day-to-day
- Own the product roadmap and strategy for the MA&OEE (packaging and bulk production) and Changeover Instructions modules
- Write and maintain product requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria) aligned with GAMP5 methodology
- Prioritize based on customer feedback, market trends, competitive positioning, and business impact
- Collaborate with engineering leads during sprint planning, refinement, and delivery
- Join customer implementations to ensure successful go-lives and gather first-hand product insights
- Analyze product usage data and customer feedback to identify improvement opportunities
- Coordinate with other Product Directors to ensure cross-module consistency (e.g. MA&OEE with EBR, Changeover with Weigh & Dispense)
What we're looking for
- 10+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, with senior/lead/director-level scope
- Proven track record of personally owning a product from discovery through delivery in an Agile environment - as the PM doing the work, not as a manager of PMs
- Strong recent experience writing clear product requirements and translating complex domain problems into software solutions
- Comfortable presenting to and engaging with senior customer stakeholders
- Familiarity with complex products and integration patterns (e.g. ERP, MES, or similar enterprise systems)
- Experience in a scale-up or growth-stage SaaS company
Nice to have
- Experience with MES, OEE/analytics platforms, or similar industrial/operational software
- Understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes (packaging lines, machine connectivity, changeovers, GMP workflows)
- Familiarity with regulatory requirements: 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, data integrity (ALCOA+)
- Exposure to AI/ML applications in manufacturing (anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, OEE insights)
