Navina is a fast-growing digital health SaaS company that’s on a mission to transform the way physicians interact with patient data. Thousands of clinicians across the United States already use Navina’s AI-powered solution that transforms complex and fragmented patient data into concise “patient portraits" and actionable clinical insights at the point of care.

Navina has been named one of the Top 100 AI companies globally by CB Insights and made the list of the Top 50 Digital Health startups. We are already working with industry-leading value-based organizations including Privia Health and Agilon.

We are looking for a strategic product leader to head Navina’s Data Platform domain -a core area of our offering.

In this role, you will lead the product strategy and execution for the domain, while guiding and mentoring product managers within the team. You will work closely with Engineering, Data Science, Clinical Experts, the rest of the Product group, as well as partners and strategic customers, shaping how our platform operates and scales to meet the needs of our growing business.

• Drive cross-team technical initiatives end-to-end, coordinating dependencies and aligning stakeholders across the organization.
• Establish key metrics to measure platform performance, adoption, and impact on product outcomes.

Requirements

• 4+ years of proven experience leading product teams, with a strong track record of growing people and helping them succeed.
