The B2C Product Marketing Manager is a senior individual contributor based in Optum India, operating as an integrated extension of the US product marketing team. The role supports consumer and provider-facing pharmacy products and enhancements across digital, retail, and care channels and functionally reports to a US-based Director, Product Marketing.
