You bring a unique blend of personality and professional expertise to your work, inspiring others with your passion and dedication.

You are more than just your resume; you are a reflection of your achievements, the knowledge you've gained, and the personal interests that shape who you are.

Position Overview

What You’ll Do:

Product Roadmap & Delivery

• Own the product strategy, roadmap, and backlog for member medical cost and transparency products, ensuring they align with the broader ME&T vision.

• Define the problems worth solving for members by combining member research, usage data, and cost/transparency domain knowledge, and translate that into a prioritized roadmap.

• Partner with engineering, data science, data engineering, data operations, and product owners to define scope, sequence work, manage dependencies, and remove blockers.

• Actively participate in sprint ceremonies — planning, grooming, and retrospectives — maintaining close alignment with engineering on priorities and progress.

• Lead prioritization across competing needs, balancing client commitments, regulatory requirements, platform modernization, operational improvements, and long-term scalability.

• Communicate roadmap progress, delivery risks, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to product leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Resolve product and domain questions in real time, leveraging deep knowledge of member cost and transparency data to keep delivery moving.

• Review and validate delivered features against requirements and success criteria, ensuring member cost and transparency solutions work as intended for members.

Domain Expertise: Member Cost & Transparency

• Deep subject matter expertise in the member cost experience — claims, rates, benefits, eligibility, deductibles, copays, accumulators, and billing codes — and how they translate into clear, actionable information for members.

• Understand how underlying cost and provider data is sourced and surfaced across the ME&T product suite, and identify gaps in coverage, accuracy, or usability that affect the member experience.

• Serve as the go-to product expert on member cost and transparency questions across engineering, other product teams, and customer success.

• Write clear business requirements, technical specifications, user stories, data requirements, and acceptance criteria that enable engineering teams to build with minimal ambiguity or rework.

• Resolve data-domain questions related to cost estimates, claims, rates, provider attributes, networks, specialties, services performed, eligibility/benefits, and member-facing transparency experiences.

• Maintain product and data documentation in collaboration with Product Operations, Engineering, and Technical Writing.

• Stay current on healthcare price transparency regulations and industry developments relevant to member cost tools (e.g., No Surprises Act, price transparency rules), and translate regulatory requirements into product requirements.

Roadmap & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Own the roadmap for your product area, balancing member needs, business priorities, regulatory requirements, and engineering capacity, in partnership with other Product Managers across ME&T.

• Provide input into broader ME&T roadmap discussions by surfacing member needs, product constraints, dependencies, and opportunities based on your domain expertise.

• Communicate roadmap progress, risks, and blockers to leadership and stakeholders clearly and proactively.

• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders — including product, engineering, design, data partnerships, and customer success — to ensure your products meet evolving member and business needs.

• Manage intake for new feature requests, working with other Product Managers to prioritize and sequence against your existing roadmap and commitments.

Quality, Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Define and track product KPIs — such as adoption, accuracy, member satisfaction, and cost-estimate reliability — to evaluate the health and impact of your cost and transparency products.

• Identify and escalate data quality, usability, or delivery issues that could impact the member experience or product performance.

• Drive continuous improvement in product practices, documentation standards, and delivery workflows in close collaboration with engineering and design.

• Maintain up-to-date product documentation in Confluence and other product tools to ensure consistent team alignment.

What You’ll Bring to Zelis:

Experience

• 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years owning a product area end-to-end (strategy, roadmap, and delivery) in a senior PM or equivalent role.

• Demonstrated experience defining product strategy and roadmap, and working directly with engineering and design teams in an Agile environment.

• Proven ability to write high-quality requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering and design teams can execute against with minimal ambiguity.

• Prior experience in the Healthcare IT space, with working knowledge of member cost and claims data (cost transparency, X12 EDIs including 270/271 and 837s) strongly preferred; candidates with adjacent healthcare product experience and strong curiosity to learn the domain will also be considered.

• Experience developing and delivering B2B or B2B2C digital products — e.g., web or mobile experiences, cost estimator tools, or transparency portals.

• Track record of shipping product features on time that measurably improved the member or customer experience in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.

Product & Technical Skills

• Strong product management fundamentals — defining problems, prioritizing a roadmap, writing requirements, and measuring outcomes.

• Technical depth sufficient to partner with data science and engineering on data models, product analytics, and system design — able to ask the right questions and understand the answers.

• Comfort with product analytics tools, and ideally some familiarity with SQL, to explore member and product data independently.

• Experience with BI and analytics delivery; familiarity with cloud BI platforms such as Looker, Sigma, Power BI, or Tableau is a plus.

• Working knowledge of data privacy, governance, and security concepts — particularly as they apply to healthcare data (PHI/PII).

• Proficiency with product and delivery tools including Jira and Confluence; familiarity with Productboard or similar road mapping tools.

• Familiarity with Advanced Analytics, AI/ML, and data science concepts as they apply to product decision-making.

Communication & Collaboration

• Strong written communication skills — the ability to produce clear, precise, well-structured requirements and documentation is a core job function of this role.

• Effective verbal communicator; able to engage confidently with engineers in technical discussions and with leadership in business and strategy discussions.

• Collaborative working style; comfortable both driving your own product area and partnering with other Product Managers on shared priorities.

• Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize effectively under pressure, and make sound product tradeoffs with clear rationale.

• Strong attention to detail; ability to catch data inconsistencies, requirement gaps, and edge cases before they reach engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience owning a member-facing healthcare product end-to-end, from strategy through delivery.

• Hands-on experience with member-facing healthcare products, transparency tools, provider directory solutions, or cost estimation applications.

• Familiarity with CMS requirements related to healthcare price transparency regulations (No Surprises Act, Transparency in Coverage).

• SaaS or platform product background with experience in consumer or member-facing digital products.

• Experience defining and tracking product KPIs and partnering with data teams on quality remediation.

• Experience with product discovery frameworks, member research, or experimentation (A/B testing).
