About the Product Marketing Manager Position:
The Product Marketing Manager is a role that adds dedicated capacity to Avalon's Product Marketing & Communication team. Reporting to the SVP, Product Marketing & Communications, this role supports end-to-end go-to-market execution, positioning and messaging, competitive and market intelligence, and sales enablement across Avalon's growing Diagnostic Intelligence cross continuum product portfolio (RTM, LVM, RRM, SRX, Genetics, and future launches).
The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 5 years of product marketing experience gained on the vendor/commercialization side of healthcare IT — developing go-to-market strategy, positioning, and launch materials for solutions sold into health plans, providers, TPAs/brokers, or employers.
