Job Summary
The Product Manager II, Apply Portfolio will own one or more product features or defined workstreams within Elsevier Healthcare Education's Apply Portfolio, leading execution from discovery through delivery, launch, adoption, and continuous improvement across products including Shadow Health, SimChart, and other current and future Apply Portfolio offerings.
The Apply Portfolio supports healthcare learners and educators through digital products that deliver immersive, practical, and outcomes-focused learning experiences. This role works closely with engineering, design, clinical experts, data and analytics teams, customer success, sales, marketing, implementation partners, and academic customers to understand market needs and deliver valuable solutions across the portfolio.
This is a hands-on product role that combines customer engagement, product discovery, delivery leadership, data analysis, technical collaboration, and go-to-market support. The Product Manager II is a key liaison between customers, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional delivery teams — developing a firsthand understanding of customer needs, translating those needs into clear product requirements, and helping prioritize work that addresses meaningful customer, learner, faculty, and business needs. The successful candidate will be curious about data and AI, comfortable working with analytics, reporting, and AI-enabled tools, and motivated to turn product data into actionable insights.
AI is a growing part of this role — both as a capability to build into the product strategy for owned features and workstreams, and as a tool that helps product managers work faster. This role calls for practical fluency with both, alongside the core product skill set above.
