Product Manager - Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)

Position Summary

For more than 40 years, Cadwell has built neurodiagnostic and neuromonitoring solutions with a single purpose: helping clinicians help patients. The surgical teams, neurophysiologists, and technologists who depend on Cadwell make consequential decisions, and the quality of those decisions is shaped in part by the tools we put in their hands.

As Product Manager - IONM, you will own the strategy, positioning, and lifecycle for Cadwell’s flagship product line and serve as the technical bridge between clinical vision and engineering execution. You will research market needs, define the product roadmap, present the business case to executive leadership, and work with R&D to translate that strategy into technically sound, executable development plans.

Cadwell holds dominant US market share, is actively expanding global access, and is launching a next-generation platform that will define the trajectory of IONM for the next decade. We are looking for someone with the clinical and technical fluency to effectively engage with the customers we serve, the business rigor to make difficult trade-off decisions, and the hands-on engagement with engineering to drive development from strategy through delivery.
