The Product Manager will help lead the strategy, delivery, and continuous improvement of our platform. This role sits at the intersection of healthcare workflows, product experience, and emerging AI capabilities. You'll partner closely with design, engineering, clinical/operations stakeholders, and customers to define product direction, validate concepts and features that solve real problems for our users.

This is an excellent opportunity for a PM who is comfortable navigating the nuances of healthcare and revenue cycle workflows, has a good eye for product experience, and is excited to build AI-native product capabilities — including ("0 to 1") initiatives.

You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges.

For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for your area, from discovery through launch and iteration
• Define and prioritize product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria; balance business impact, technical feasibility, and user experience quality
• Partner with design and research to ensure the product experience is usable and intuitive, providing feedback on flows and UI as part of the broader product process
• Lead discovery efforts with healthcare providers, billing/RCM teams, and other stakeholders to deeply understand workflows, pain points, and opportunities
• Identify and scope opportunities to apply AI/ML capabilities (e.g., automation, intelligent recommendations, predictive workflows) that solve meaningful user or business problems
• Collaborate with engineering to scope, sequence, and ship features, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, quality, and long-term scalability
• Define success metrics, monitor product performance post-launch, and iterate based on data and user feedback
• Communicate roadmap, priorities, and product decisions clearly to stakeholders and leadership

You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.

Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in product management or a product-adjacent role (e.g., UX/UI design, product design, business analysis) with meaningful exposure to UX/UI decision-making
• 2+ years working in healthtech or healthcare-adjacent products, with a solid understanding of healthcare workflows, compliance considerations, and stakeholder complexity
• 1+ years of AI/ML product experience — shipping features that leverage AI, automation, or intelligent systems, and understanding the unique product considerations (data quality, model behavior, trust/transparency, human-in-the-loop design) that come with it
• A track record of shipped products or features that reflects good product judgment and user awareness
• Proven solid collaboration skills with design and engineering; comfortable giving and receiving UX/UI feedback
• Proven excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex workflows into clear product narratives
• Willingness to travel up to 10%25

Preferred Qualifications:

• 1+ years of experience in Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) — claims, billing, eligibility, payments, denials, or related healthcare financial workflows
• Experience owning or contributing to a 0-to-1 product build — taking an idea from concept to shipped v1 with limited existing infrastructure or precedent
• Experience with AI prototyping
