• Communicate product strategy, priorities, risks, and tradeoffs to technical teams, executives, and government stakeholders.
• Collaborate across multiple organizations to remove blockers, align priorities, and successfully deliver product outcomes.
• Champion user-centered product decisions while balancing mission needs, technical constraints, and business priorities.

Required Skills

• Must be able to maintain the required security clearance throughout employment.

Desired Skills

• Experience leading consumer-facing healthcare or medical technology products, particularly products involving protected health information (PHI), medical records, patient portals, laboratory results, or clinical notifications.
