Job description

Remote Principal Product Manager - Heathcare

We are seeking a strategic, technically fluent Principal Product Manager to help shape and drive emerging product initiatives within a healthcare environment. This individual will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, taking loosely defined business problems and determining how they can be translated into meaningful product opportunities.

The ideal candidate has a strong product strategy and discovery background, is comfortable creating structure where little exists, and can independently establish product vision, define priorities, and guide initiatives from early exploration through execution. They should also have a strong understanding of AI capabilities and the ability to evaluate where AI can deliver meaningful business value and improve existing products or workflows.

Required Qualifications:

• Healthcare industry experience.
• Strong product management experience with a demonstrated background in product strategy and product discovery.
• Experience operating in highly ambiguous environments and independently bringing structure to undefined problems.
• Ability to evaluate emerging business needs and determine whether they represent viable product opportunities.
• Experience establishing product vision, defining strategy, and guiding initiatives toward execution.
• Strong understanding of AI capabilities and the ability to identify practical use cases where AI can deliver meaningful value.
• Experience managing multiple product initiatives and balancing competing priorities.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence and collaborate with business partners and technical teams.
• Technical fluency and the ability to work closely with architects and engineers to evaluate potential solutions.
• Strong prioritization, decision-making, and trade-off management skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Healthcare industry experience, particularly within care management or utilization management.
• Experience developing or supporting AI-enabled healthcare products.
• Familiarity with clinical workflows, clinician-facing tools, or healthcare operations.
• Experience with workflow automation, member stratification, or next-best-action capabilities.
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional product initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead product strategy and define product workstreams across emerging healthcare initiatives.
• Take loosely defined business problems and independently create structure, establish direction, and identify potential product opportunities.
• Drive product discovery and evaluate whether new opportunities warrant development into standalone products or enhancements to existing capabilities.
• Establish product vision, define priorities, identify resource and team needs, and develop an approach to execution.
• Partner with business stakeholders and subject matter experts to understand business needs and translate them into product requirements and actionable initiatives.
• Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to evaluate technical solutions, assess feasibility, and guide prioritization and trade-off decisions.
• Explore AI-enabled products and workflows, evaluating where AI can meaningfully improve outcomes, efficiency, and user experiences.
• Manage multiple initiatives at a strategic level while maintaining alignment across cross-functional stakeholders.
