Job summary

You will analyze results, prioritize based on customer impact, and lead conversations from discovery through validation. A strong emphasis on data quality, CMS-HCC knowledge, and healthcare contracts will guide decision-making and prioritization.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of product management experience, including exposure to data or analytics products where the output is an insight rather than a workflow.
• Demonstrated analytical judgment. You read a result and know what it does and does not say. You ask about the denominator before you repeat the number.
• A methodical approach to ambiguity. You frame the question before you frame the solution, and you write both down clearly enough that engineering, sales, and customers can all work from the same document.
• Experience working with healthcare data, specifically claims, clinical records, EHR and FHIR-based sources, and an understanding of how data quality and provenance affect what a product can honestly claim.
• Excellent written communication. Much of the value you create here is in the clarity of the decisions you record.
• An interest in how value-based care organizations succeed under their contracts, and a habit of starting from those terms rather than from what is easiest to measure.

Responsibilities

• Articulate a differentiated positioning for Zus for value-based care organizations, and ensure organization evolution.
• Own the roadmap and backlog for your products within the VBC portfolio, with the discipline to keep them prioritized, written down, and defensible to engineering and to customers.
• Turn vague customer problems into testable questions and drive them to an answer.
• Interpret analytical results and convert them into next steps, risks, and decision points that someone else can act on without translation.
• Run customer conversations directly, from discovery through validation of what we shipped, across ACO enablement, Medicaid complex care, specialty, and virtual-first organizations.
• Define and track the success metrics that prove the product is delivering measurable financial and clinical value.
• Track the regulatory and methodology changes that move our roadmap, including CMS-HCC model updates, HEDIS and Stars measure specifications, and program rules across MSSP, ACO REACH, and MA.
