Principal Technical Product Manager, Platform

Responsibilities

• you'll set platform strategy in support of the broader business while staying close enough to the details to unblock engineering, resolve design ambiguity, and make fast calls when specs are incomplete.
• You'll also own the transition path as new capabilities roll out — moving existing customers, data, and workflows forward without disrupting the clinical and administrative work that depends on the platform every day.
• The role coordinates across several engineering teams — some dedicated to this effort, others owned elsewhere in the org — so a big part of the job is aligning roadmaps and dependencies across teams you don't formally manage.
• Own the platform strategy and roadmap in support of the broader business, from architecture-level decisions down to individual feature specs.
• Lead the transition strategy for moving existing customers and workflows forward as the platform evolves, including sequencing, risk mitigation, and rollback planning.
• Coordinate delivery across multiple engineering teams — teams you work with day to day and dependent teams outside your scope — resolving conflicting priorities and keeping cross-team dependencies visible and on schedule.
• Get into the details: review data contracts, evaluate technical tradeoffs with engineering leads, and write or edit specs yourself when needed rather than delegating every decision.
• Make and document product decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving conditions, with clear rationale and named owners for anything left open.
• Work directly with engineers and end users (clinical and administrative staff) to validate that designs solve the actual problem, not just the stated requirement.
• Manage scope and expectations with stakeholders at every level, from engineers to executive sponsors.
• Partner with globally distributed engineering teams, including regular early-morning collaboration to overlap with offshore working hours.
• Report progress, risks, and open decisions clearly and on a predictable cadence.

Requirements

• 10+ years in product management, with significant experience owning platform-level or infrastructure-adjacent products (not just feature teams).
• Direct experience leading a major platform build and/or migration — you've done this before and know where the risk hides.
• A track record of coordinating delivery across multiple engineering teams, including teams you don't formally manage.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity — you can move a decision forward without waiting for a complete spec.
• A “doer” mindset: willing to work in the details (data models, technical tradeoffs, edge cases), not just set direction from above.
• Experience working with globally distributed / offshore engineering teams and the schedule flexibility that requires.
• Strong written and verbal communication — able to explain technical tradeoffs to executives and translate business needs to engineers.

Preferred

• Experience in healthcare technology, particularly value-based care, risk adjustment, or quality measurement (e.g., HEDIS, Stars).
• Experience building or operating provider-facing software.
• Familiarity with modular/service-oriented architectures and data contract–based system design.
