Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cedar is a healthcare technology company focused on improving the healthcare financial and patient engagement experience. The Group Lead Product Manager will own the Patient Data Platform strategy and execution, including normalized data models, transformation pipelines, integration standards, governance, and data exchange patterns. The role partners with engineering, integrations, clients, and EHR providers to deliver reliable, secure data that supports Cedar’s products and AI-powered workflows.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end ownership: Own the Patient Data Platform from strategy through execution. Help identify gaps in Cedar's data capabilities, define solutions, and drive delivery alongside engineering and integrations. Engage directly with clients and EHR partners to understand upstream data workflows and translate them into platform requirements
- Internal + external influence: Work internally across Cedar's product engineering, integrations, payments, and communications teams and externally with Cedar's clients and EHR partners to drive integration standards that support multi-product, multi-provider scale
- Product definition: Define and evolve Cedar's normalized data across providers in terms of how clinical and financial entities are represented, linked, and made available to product consumers and agentic workflows. Drive data governance standards including data quality tracking, lineage, and contract definitions that give downstream teams confidence in the data they consume
- Roadmapping & Prioritization: Own the multi-quarter roadmap for the Patient Data Platform, sequencing foundational investments (integration patterns, cross-system identity, data infrastructure) against provider onboarding timelines and product launch dependencies. Make the tradeoff calls between long-term platform bets and near-term delivery commitments
- Partnership with technical leadership: Co-own data and architecture decisions with Cedar's senior technical leaders, including data architects, engineering leads, and delivery-side integration experts. Translate product requirements into technical constraints and vice versa, ensuring alignment between product vision and technical feasibility
- Data governance and quality: Establish data quality frameworks that ensure reliable, accurate data SLAs for go-lives
- Metrics and impact measurement: Define and track platform health and adoption metrics, including SLAs for data accuracy and freshness, integration onboarding velocity, and incident reduction tied to data quality improvements. Use data to inform prioritization and demonstrate platform ROI
