SI-BONE is a fast-growing, publicly traded medical device company that is an industry pioneer in minimally invasive sacropelvic solutions.

The ideal candidate is a proactive, high-energy contributor who brings passion, curiosity, and a hands-on approach to every aspect of the product development process.

Establish and document software product management practices — templates, review cadences, and decision records — that SI-BONE product managers can carry forward independently.

Knowledge, Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's Degree with minimum of 2-4 years of experience; or Master’s Degree.
• 2+ years of software product management or product marketing or sales support experience, ideally in the medical device industry (a plus if in spine).

Hands-on experience with pre-operative planning, surgical navigation, or 3D image-based software — including DICOM workflows, CT/MRI segmentation, and implant templating or measurement tools.

Working knowledge of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) development and the standards that govern it, including IEC 62304 software lifecycle, IEC 62366 usability engineering, ISO 14971 risk management as applied to software, and FDA premarket software and cybersecurity guidance.

Familiarity with software verification and validation in a design-controlled environment: requirements traceability, test protocol review, defect triage, and design history file documentation.

Experience contributing to regulatory strategy for software, including 510(k)/De Novo pathways, clinical decision support versus device determinations, and AI/ML-enabled device considerations, in partnership with Regulatory and Quality.

Ability to operate in an agile, iterative development cadence while meeting design control and documentation requirements.

Data literacy sufficient to define analytics, telemetry, and success metrics for a clinical software product.

Able to work in a high-performing team environment and possess a demonstrated ability to multi-task and accommodate changing priorities within compressed timelines.

Demonstrated self-starter, with ability to work independently and prioritize time and resources.

Proven track record of success and teamwork, with a strong dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Consultative operating style: able to embed with an existing product team, ramp quickly with minimal onboarding, and add value without displacing internal ownership.

Willingness to coach and upskill SI-BONE product managers on software-specific practices, leaving behind repeatable templates and processes.

Strong written deliverable discipline — product requirements documents, user requirement specifications, roadmaps, and decision memos that stand on their own for reviewers who were not in the room.

Comfortable with ambiguity; able to frame a problem and recommend a path forward where none has been defined.

Credibility to influence engineering, regulatory, and commercial stakeholders without direct authority, and sound judgment on when to escalate versus decide.
