About the Role
Population health sits at the intersection of risk, quality, and care delivery — and it is where we have the greatest opportunity to change outcomes for patients and the organizations that serve them.
Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, The Head of Product, Population Health, is a senior leadership role with broad organizational scope — you will own the product strategy and roadmap end to end, lead a team of product managers, partner deeply with engineering, data science, design, and clinical operations, and work hand-in-hand with go-to-market to shape how Innovaccer competes and wins in this market.
We are looking for a seasoned product leader who understands population health not just as a product category but as a domain: someone who has lived in the details of risk stratification, quality measure performance, care gap closure, and value-based care program design — and who can translate that expertise, amplified by AI, into a product that health systems, payers, and physician groups trust as mission-critical infrastructure.
A Day in the Life
Product Strategy & Vision
- Define and own the multi-year product strategy for Innovaccer's population health platform — spanning risk adjustment, quality and HEDIS, care management, and network performance — with AI as the foundational layer across every capability.
- Develop a differentiated point of view on where the market is heading and translate that into an AI-first product roadmap that positions Innovaccer ahead of the curve.
- Partner with the CPO to shape Innovaccer's overall product narrative and communicate strategy to customers, investors, and internal stakeholders.
- Stay close to the evolving regulatory and reimbursement landscape — CMS programs, ACCESS, STARS, MSSP, ACO REACH, and state-level value-based contracts — and build product decisions around it.
Product Management & Execution
- Lead, develop, and grow a team of product managers working across the population health portfolio, cultivating an AI-first mindset and skillset throughout the team.
- Set a high bar for product quality — from discovery and problem definition through to launch and iteration — and model that standard for the team.
- Own the prioritization process across the portfolio, balancing strategic bets with near-term customer commitments and platform investments.
- Drive alignment across engineering, data science, design, and clinical SMEs to ensure the team ships high-quality, high-impact products on a predictable cadence.
- Establish clear success metrics for the portfolio and build a culture of measurement, learning, and iteration — leveraging AI-powered analytics to close the feedback loop faster.
Customer & Market Engagement
- Be the product voice with Innovaccer's largest and most strategic population health customers — joining key conversations, absorbing feedback, and closing the loop back into the roadmap.
- Partner with sales, pre-sales, and customer success to understand where the product wins, where it loses, and what it would take to move the market.
- Develop deep relationships with customer clinical and operational leaders — medical directors, CMOs, quality officers, and population health program leads — to inform product strategy from the ground up.
- Represent Innovaccer's product perspective in external forums: industry conferences, advisory boards, and regulatory consultations.
AI-Native Product Development
- AI is not a feature layer at Innovaccer — it is the foundation. This Leader will be the product and will be one of our loudest and most credible voices for building and scaling on that foundation.
- Champion an AI-first development philosophy across the entire product lifecycle — from how we define problems and scope solutions, to how we prototype, validate, launch, and iterate. AI-native is the default; everything else requires justification.
- Serve as an active evangelist for AI in product development: run working sessions, establish best practices, and raise the bar for what the team expects from itself when it comes to leveraging AI tools in their daily workflows — from discovery and spec writing to QA and release.
- Own the mandate to ensure every population health capability is built on and scales within Innovaccer's AI-native platform — working closely with platform, engineering, and data science to maintain architectural integrity as the portfolio grows.
- Ensure hands-on adoption of AI-powered product development tools across the PM team — including AI-assisted research synthesis, automated feedback analysis, generative prototyping, and intelligent backlog management — and hold the team accountable for using them.
What You Need
- 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role at a healthcare technology company.
- Deep, hands-on expertise in population health, including risk adjustment (HCC coding, prospective vs. retrospective risk), quality measurement (HEDIS, STARS, CAHPS), care management workflows, and value-based care program mechanics.
- Demonstrated AI fluency and a track record of implementing AI tools across the product development lifecycle — including adopting AI-powered tooling for research, discovery, spec writing, and iteration, and embedding AI/ML capabilities directly into product experiences. You are not interested in AI as a trend; you have shipped it.
- Experience shipping enterprise healthcare SaaS products at scale — you understand what it takes to get a product adopted and embedded in a health system or payer workflow, not just deployed.
- Strong analytical and data intuition. You are comfortable digging into clinical and operational data, working with data science teams, and making evidence-based product decisions.
- Track record of building and leading high-performing PM teams. You hire well, develop talent, and instill an AI-first mindset in the people around you.
- Exceptional communication and influence skills. You can write a sharp strategy memo, run a compelling executive review, and earn the trust of a CMO in the same week.
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment. You do not wait for perfect information. You make good decisions quickly and create clarity for your team.
- Familiarity with the regulatory and policy landscape governing value-based care — including CMS programs, ACO models, state Medicaid waivers, and quality reporting requirements.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing or operating novel care delivery programs — including prospective intervention design, stratification logic, and outcomes measurement for value-based contracts.
- Clinical background or prior work embedded in a clinical operations or population health management team.
- Experience with Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or MSSP/ACO REACH program management.
- Familiarity with interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7) and health data infrastructure.
- Prior experience at a health system, payer, or ACO/physician group alongside time in healthcare technology — bringing both sides of the table to the role.
- Experience working within or building on an AI-native product platform — understanding how AI models, agents, and workflows compose into a scalable product architecture.
