Welcome to Orchestration Works - Ensemble's bold leap into the future of healthcare innovation. We're building something big. Orchestration Works is a brand-new division designed to move fast, break barriers, and bring cutting-edge technology like AI and automation to life across the healthcare revenue cycle.

Position Overview

The Head of Product owns product practice for Orchestration Works: the intake funnel that feeds the portfolio, the ROI thesis discipline that every initiative must carry, and the operating cadence that keeps the 120-day model honest. Every problem that enters OW arrives with a documented hypothesis about automation lift, operational improvement, and financial return - this role is the keeper of that discipline, from intake through gate decisions through outcome reporting. This is end-to-end initiative ownership across the pod portfolio: product leadership, outcomes, testing, and the reporting rhythm that keeps executive governance informed. The Head of Product runs the gate review cadence for the General Manager, owns portfolio reporting into Control Tower, and sets the product and design standard that pod Product Managers and Designers work to. The role is the interface to Ensemble's Product organization, ensuring OW's portfolio stays connected to the enterprise roadmap without duplicating it.

What You'll Own

• The intake funnel: Manage the single intake through which prioritized operational and clinical problems enter, and prepare initiatives for portfolio admission - problem framed with Operations, ROI thesis documented, pod composition defined.
• ROI thesis discipline: Every initiative enters with a documented hypothesis about automation lift, operational improvement, and financial return, and is measured against it. No thesis, no admission.
• The operating cadence: Run the three-gate rhythm - portfolio admission, lock-or-kill at the concept gate, and production readiness - preparing decision materials for the General Manager and the four-leader validation team.
• Kill discipline: Initiatives that cannot deliver against their thesis are killed quickly, deliberately, and without stigma. Own the learning capture so killed concepts still return value.
• Portfolio reporting: Own outcome measurement against baseline and the reporting interface into Control Tower for OW agenda items.
• Product practice across pods: Set the standard pod Product Managers work to - scoping, prioritization, validation planning, and initiative ownership from problem
