- Influence and align partners across Engineering, Data Science, UX, Commercial, and Operations to secure buy-in on priorities and product direction
- Own and communicate roadmap priorities to leadership with transparency into progress, trade-offs, and decisions at every phase
- Apply design thinking approaches to solve complex problems, iterate on solutions, and support MVP delivery and customer co-innovation opportunities

- Degree or equivalent experience; typically requires 7+ years of relevant experience
- Healthcare product management experience, or familiarity with technical product development methodologies such as Agile
- Demonstrated fluency in data, AI, and machine learning concepts to partner credibly on problem framing, model trade-offs, and evaluation metrics in healthcare
- Experience defining and using experimentation (including A/B testing) and quantitative measurement to guide product decisions
- Experience working in cross-functional product teams across Engineering, Data Science, UX, Operations, and Commercial partners
- Technical competency with direct experience in data and analytics, data science, or AI/ML to partner credibly with Data Science and ML Engineering

- Strong understanding of product-market dynamics, customer needs, and competitive landscapes
- Financial acumen, including linking product decisions to P&L outcomes and business goals
- Proven stakeholder engagement and influence skills in matrixed environments
- Ability to prioritize across competing initiatives and align teams toward execution
