Position Summary

The Senior Product Manager leads technical strategy for Curana Connect and Curana Companion. You will co-chair product direction with aligned business and clinical owners, translating business and clinical objectives into clear technical scope, system design, delivery plans, and measurable outcomes. This role partners closely with Engineering to define architecture-aligned solutions, build and execute roadmaps, and ensure products are adopted and deliver real operational impact.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Ownership

• Translate business and clinical objectives into technical scope, delivery plans, budgets, KPIs, and ROI models.
• Partner with assigned business and clinical owners to translate requirements and deliverables into technical requirements and design patterns in concert with the engineering team.
• Prioritize work using a structured approach (value, risk, effort, operational/clinical impact) and maintain a consistently shippable backlog.

Workflow Enablement & Intelligent Automation

• Partner with Engineering, Architecture, Data, and Security to deliver solutions that improve speed, reliability, and auditability across facility and patient/family workflows.
• Define acceptance criteria grounded in real operations: accuracy thresholds, exception handling, human review paths, and clear accountability.
• Ensure designs reflect privacy-by-design, safety-minded defaults, and compliance expectations appropriate for regulated healthcare environments.

Execution & Delivery

• Own core product artifacts: roadmap, PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, launch readiness, and post-launch adoption measurement.
• Drive incremental delivery with Engineering: clarify ambiguity early, manage dependencies, and keep work releasable.
• Lead UAT readiness, stakeholder walkthroughs, launch planning, and operational handoffs.
• Surface risks early (data quality, operational readiness, vendor constraints, capacity, cost) and drive mitigation.
• Align training and curriculum approach with Learning & Development (L&D).
• Align change management plan with the Transformation team.

Governance & Product Discipline

• Maintain product rigor: clear ownership, documented decisions, explicit tradeoffs, and outcome-based reporting.
• Support portfolio prioritization routines to ensure the highest-value work is staffed and delivered.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Product Management experience, including ownership of platform and/or data-enabled products.
• Demonstrated experience in healthcare technology and workflows (e.g., clinical operations, care operations, revenue cycle, population health).
• Strong technical fluency: able to reason about product design, APIs, integrations, data pipelines, and architecture.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and steer technical execution without direct authority.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to translate between functional and technical stakeholders.
• Experience with digital/mobile engagement platforms, including patient engagement and patient portals.

Preferred Qualifications

• Educational background in an engineering or quantitative field, such as computer science, data science, and/or machine learning.
• Experience delivering products in regulated environments requiring privacy, auditability, and safety-minded design.
• Familiarity with interoperability and healthcare data concepts (e.g., HL7/FHIR and/or unstructured clinical documents).
• Experience with vendor-integrated healthcare platforms and enterprise tools commonly used in healthcare organizations (e.g., EHR/CRM/data platforms like GEHRIMED, Innovaccer, etc.).
• Comfort operating in high-visibility, resource-constrained environments with a strong bias toward delivery.
