Zus's mission is to catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.

What we’re looking for

We are seeking a Product Manager  with deep expertise in risk adjustment, care gap management, and value-based care performance to drive the evolution of our Risk & Quality Management capabilities. This role is ideal for a technically-minded clinical operations expert who understands how providers, payers, and value-based care organizations navigate risk stratification, quality reporting, and financial performance in risk-based contracts.

As a Product Manager, you will work closely with engineering, design, and customers to define and deliver data-driven product capabilities that support accurate risk capture, care gap closure, and streamlined analytics and reporting.

• Define and build products that enhance data usability, streamline reporting, and improve decision-making for healthcare organizations.
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams to deeply understand the complexities of value-based care, risk adjustment, and quality improvement.
• Monitor industry trends and regulatory changes to anticipate customer needs and inform product development.
• Define and track success metrics, ensuring our product delivers measurable value.
• Own the agile process for your squad, including backlog management, sprint planning, and prioritization to ensure smooth execution.

You're a good fit because you have

• 3-5 years of product management experience within healthcare technology.
• Deep understanding of value-based care, including risk adjustment methodologies (e.g., HCC coding), quality measurement frameworks, and payer-provider collaboration.
• Experience working with healthcare data, including claims, clinical records (EHRs, FHIR), and risk scoring models.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
• Passion for improving healthcare through technology and data-driven solutions.

We will offer you…

• Competitive compensation that reflects the value you bring to the team a combination of cash and equity

• Robust benefits that include health insurance, wellness benefits, 401k with a match, unlimited PTO

• Opportunity to work alongside a passionate team that is determined to help change the world (and have fun doing it)

Please Note: Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet 100% of the job criteria. While we have worked to consolidate the minimum qualifications for each role, we aren’t looking for someone who checks each box on a page; we’re looking for active learners and people who care about disrupting the current healthcare system with their unique experiences.

We do not conduct interviews by text nor will we send you a job offer unless you've interviewed with multiple people, including the Director of People & Talent, over video interviews. Job scams do exist so please be careful with your personal information.
