Position Summary

Reporting to the AVP, Software Engineering, the Senior Product Manager owns an assigned product area and connects Salud's clinical, operations, finance, provider relations, and payer-facing teams with the engineering team. You set product direction and priorities: running discovery, defining and sequencing the roadmap, shaping and prioritizing the backlog, writing clear requirements with testable acceptance criteria, and accepting finished work against them. This is a hands-on role you still elicit requirements, map workflows, and analyze healthcare data yourself rather than hand it off.

The role is remote.
