We are building an end-to-end kidney platform that connects care for individuals at every stage along their health journey—from earlier diagnosis and prevention, through supporting the transplant process, to ensuring patients are supported at home, in our centers, and in the hospital.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager, Innovation to lead the strategy for exploring and advancing new and emerging technologies for our organization. In this role, you will play a critical part in shaping the organization’s point of view on innovative technology and driving our build, buy, and partner digital strategy.

Effectively translate the innovation strategy into a roadmap that drives business outcomes.
· Identify and Prioritize High-Impact Use Cases: Using market insights and data, identify and prioritize external technology opportunities that align with our strategic objectives.
· Drive Testing, Validation, and Pilots: Champion an agile "test and learn" methodology. Manage the proof-of-concept process, running quick-to-market experiments and pilots to validate technical feasibility, user adoption, and financial ROI before scaling.
· Translate Business Needs and Opportunities into Solutions: Translate customer needs and technical insights into clear and concise product specifications and requirements that articulate user stories, functionality, and constraints for new technology capabilities.
· Manage Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering, compliance, regulatory, operations, and external vendors as needed to build, test, and deploy solutions. Ensure solutions are compliant, safe, reliable, and integrate seamlessly into our platforms.
· Monitor and Measure Success (ROI): Define and analyze Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) to measure the impact, performance, and financial value of innovation pilots, using data to inform decisions on whether to pivot, kill, or scale initiatives.
