Technical Product Manager, Forward Deployed

at  Athelas

Every day, it feels like healthcare becomes less about the practice of medicine. Hospitals and private practices operate on razor-thin margins, caught between the bureaucracy of insurance companies and ballooning administrative costs. And technological advancements — from electronic health record systems to dictation software — have failed to live up to their promise of making the lives of all healthcare staff easier.

REQUIREMENTS

• Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Clinical Sciences, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Professional Background: Minimum of 3 years of experience in Product Management, ideally in technical or clinical roles within SaaS products or healthcare informatics environments.
• Skills and Competencies: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, outstanding interpersonal and communication abilities, and a proven ability to manage complex technology projects across functional boundaries. Experience with SQL and familiarity with agile methodologies are beneficial.
• Industry Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of clinical informatics applications and experience in healthcare settings (life sciences, pharma, health systems, and payers) is preferred.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Direct experience in healthcare settings within the United States.
