Principal, Product Strategy (Commercial / Medical Affairs)

We Breathe Life Into Data

At Komodo Health, our mission is to reduce the global burden of disease. And we believe that smarter use of data is essential to this mission. That’s why we built the Healthcare Map — the industry’s largest, most complete, precise view of the U.S. healthcare system — by combining de-identified, real-world patient data with innovative algorithms and decades of clinical experience. The Healthcare Map serves as our foundation for a powerful suite of software applications, helping us answer healthcare’s most complex questions for our partners. Across the healthcare ecosystem, we’re helping our clients unlock critical insights to track detailed patient behaviors and treatment patterns, identify gaps in care, address unmet patient needs, and reduce the global burden of disease. 

As we pursue these goals, it remains essential to us that we stay grounded in our values: be awesome, seek growth, deliver “wow,” and enjoy the ride. At Komodo, you will be joining a team of ambitious, supportive Dragons with diverse backgrounds but a shared passion to deliver on our mission to reduce the burden of disease — and enjoy the journey along the way.

TEAM

The Product Strategy team is responsible for identifying, prototyping, shipping, and scaling products that drive growth within specific market segments that Komodo serves. We do this by operating across three horizons: (1) where to play over the next 3-5 years; (2) prototyping, launching, and landing new products that will drive growth over the next 1-3 years; (3) optimizing Komodo’s existing product portfolio. We sit at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing — translating market intelligence and customer needs into strategies, products, and results that advance Komodo's mission to Reduce the Burden of Disease.

MISSION

This role is fundamentally a segment owner with a builder's mindset. You hold the strategic P&L view for Commercial / Medical Affairs — assessing where to invest, what to ship, and how to move the market. Product, engineering, marketing, and sales enablement are functions you partner closely with to get there. If you've lived the Commercial / Medical Affairs workflow, have strong opinions about what's missing in the market, and want to build the thing that fixes it, then this role was designed for you.

• Established yourself as the go-to internal and external expert at the intersection of Komodo's portfolio and the Commercial / Medical Affairs market — including representing Komodo at industry forums and conferences.

• Expert-level understanding of the Commercial / Medical Affairs segment: use cases, buyer and user personas, competitive dynamics, and where the market is heading

• Exceptional communication and influencing: the ability to translate complex ideas into crisp written, visual, and oral narratives for diverse audiences including customers, executives, and cross-functional teams
• Track record of operating as an integrative, cross-functional leader (e.g., across Product, Sales, and Marketing functions)
• Experience using AI coding / coworking tools to build something — software, prototypes, workflows, agents. No engineering background required, but genuine curiosity and comfort with building is essential

Additional skills and experience we'd prioritize (nice to have)…
