What You'll Bring:

• 10+ years of progressive product management experience within the healthcare technology industry, with significant and demonstrable expertise in both referral management solutions and provider network management strategies.
• Proven track record of successfully building and launching AI-powered products that directly address challenges within referral coordination and provider network operations, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and patient outcomes.
• Deep and nuanced understanding of healthcare operations, workflows, and data, with a strong empathy for the specific pain points and complexities involved in referral processes (e.g., leakage, delays, communication gaps) and network management (e.g., credentialing, contracting, adequacy).
