Essential Job Responsibilities:
- Own the product vision and roadmap for ADT notifications and Quality Care Gaps integrations; develop business cases to support prioritization.
- Define epics and user stories that clearly articulate business, clinical, UX, and support requirements with measurable outcomes.
- Collaborate with engineering and architecture teams to design secure, scalable data ingestion and transformation pipelines.
- Engage payer partners and internal stakeholders to define data exchange specifications, gap-closure feedback loops, and measure attribution logic.
- Prioritize and manage the product backlog, making trade-off decisions to balance scope, schedule, and outcomes.
- Monitor regulatory and standards developments (for example, 21st Century Cures Act, FHIR R4, DEQM/DaVinci) and ensure product compliance.
- Measure product performance using data and metrics; iterate on features to improve adoption and clinical impact.
- Foster cross-functional collaboration across geographies to support delivery and ongoing operations.
- Promote an API-first approach and ensure integrations are designed for scalability and maintainability.
- Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted tools into product workflows to automate routine data mapping, prioritize gap closures, and provide clinician-facing decision support; pilot use cases, validate outputs, and guide the team in safe, practical adoption.
Additional Job Responsibilities:
- Support go-to-market readiness by documenting requirements, participating in client conversations, and enabling onboarding.
- Provide guidance on operational support and post-launch enhancements to ensure long-term value.
- Contribute stakeholder-facing communications, including status updates, roadmaps, and impact reports.
- Participate in cross-team forums to share learnings and improve platform capabilities.
- Help define support processes and feedback loops that improve data quality and gap attribution.
Expected Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 6+ years of product management or engineering experience, preferably in healthcare technology or integrations.
- Experience with healthcare interoperability standards such as FHIR R4 and HL7 CCD, and familiarity with FHIR-based quality/care gap exchange frameworks (for example, DEQM, DaVinci).
- Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, client teams, and external partners (payers, providers, ACOs).
- Demonstrated ability to create and execute product roadmaps and prioritize competing needs.
- Strong analytical skills and experience using metrics and data to inform decisions.
- Ability to engage on technical details and serve as a subject-matter partner with architects and engineering teams.
- Familiarity with value-based care concepts, HEDIS measures, or quality gap programs is a plus.
