This team works closely with CDO business teams, engineering, analytics, and external partners to deliver scalable, high-impact data solutions.
The Role:
We are looking for a Lead Technical Product Manager to join our team and help shape and deliver enterprise clinical data products.

- Anticipate customer needs and translate them into practical, scalable solutions
- Partner with CDO business teams to shape technology solutions across clinical data domains (e.g., ADT, EMR, lab)
- Build deep understanding of how data is ingested, curated, and activated via ECDP, identifying enrichment and data quality opportunities
- Act as a go-to leader for complex, high-impact initiatives, driving analysis and resolution
- Collaborate with engineering, data, and business stakeholders to deliver measurable value and meet optimization targets
- Communicate priorities, trade-offs, and progress clearly to senior leadership
- Define features, user stories, and acceptance criteria to enable high-quality delivery
- Facilitate agile ceremonies, manage dependencies, and remove blockers
- Serve as Product Owner as needed, providing clear direction and timely decisions to the team
- Ensure delivery against key outcomes, KPIs, and business value targets
You will 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 providing development for other roles you may be interested in.
