• Define and manage product success metrics, including adoption, quality, throughput, and outcome measures.

• Serve as product owner and subject matter expert for FHIR-based capabilities, including SMART on FHIR, Bulk FHIR, and payer-to-payer exchange.

• Guide implementation of interoperability standards and Da Vinci Implementation Guides in partnership with engineering and clinical teams.

• Translate CMS and ONC regulatory mandates into actionable product requirements and defensible compliance outcomes.

• Partner with EHR, provider, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure solutions work in real-world clinical environments.

• Communicate product decisions and trade-offs clearly to senior leaders, technical teams, and cross-functional partners.

• Strengthen the product organization by sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, and improving product practices and tooling.

Qualifications Required

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in technical product ownership, product management, or health IT roles.

• Hands-on knowledge of FHIR R4, RESTful APIs, SMART on FHIR authorization, and Bulk FHIR data exchange.

• Experience working with EHR or EMR platforms and understanding real-world integration and workflow constraints.

• Strong Agile product ownership skills, including backlog management, user story writing, and release planning.

• Ability to write clear, precise technical requirements that enable efficient engineering delivery.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills across technical and executive audiences.

Preferred

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in a technical, healthcare, or related field.

• Experience with Da Vinci Implementation Guides such as PAS, DTR, CRD, or PDex.

• Background in payer, value-based care, quality measurement, or provider data domains.

• Familiarity with TEFCA, QHIN exchange, and national interoperability networks.
