Senior Product Manager

Digital Scientists (DS) is a product design and development firm that has been helping companies build custom software products and digital platforms since 2007. We partner with organizations across healthcare, logistics, and new ventures to define strategy, design user-centered experiences, and ship software that works for real people.

In this role, you will manage the client relationship, drive the product roadmap and lead custom software product delivery, guiding stakeholders from early discovery through launch and iteration. You are exceptional at turning ambiguous business goals into clear product direction, facilitating high-impact client workshops, and translating business requirements into actionable technical specifications. You bring structure, momentum, and clarity to complex engagements—while keeping teams aligned to outcomes that matter.

At DS, Product Managers work collaboratively with clients to understand organizational goals, uncover user needs, and shape solutions that answer hard questions. They guide cross-functional teams, including software developers, designers and design strategists through ambiguity, define the right product approach, and safeguard the overall quality of each engagement. They facilitate day-to-day communication, tasking, and budget awareness across internal teams and stakeholders. Above all, they cultivate a culture of clarity, trust, and steady forward progress grounded in strong product thinking and user-centered decision-making.

This is a hybrid role, working in our Alpharetta Georgia office 3 days per week.
