• Translate regulatory, contractual, operational, and client needs into clear, validated, and testable business requirements.

• Define business rules and business-level acceptance criteria.

• Ensure requirements are complete, aligned, and traceable before transitioning to product and technology teams.

• Distinguish business needs and desired outcomes from product, technical, and operational solutions.

• Establish effective practices for intake, discovery, prioritization, requirements management, stakeholder approval, traceability, and change control.

• Build trusted relationships with health plan executives, benefits leaders, operations leaders, legal and compliance partners, and internal business sponsors.

• Lead executive-level discovery and decision-making for high-priority or complex initiatives.

• Facilitate alignment across stakeholders with differing goals, constraints, and responsibilities.

• Resolve or escalate material issues related to scope, ownership, prioritization, and commitments.

• Partner with cross-functional leaders to identify the appropriate product, technology, operational, legal, and compliance stakeholders for each initiative.

• Partner with product and technology teams to ensure approved business requirements are translated into well-defined product solutions and successfully delivered.

• Provide business context and clarification throughout product definition, technical discovery, development, testing, and launch.

• Maintain oversight of business outcomes after requirements transition to downstream teams while preserving clear ownership across functions.

• Ensure material product and technical decisions remain aligned with approved business goals and requirements.

• Govern changes to business requirements and assess their impact on scope, timing, client commitments, and intended outcomes.

• Surface cross-product dependencies, risks, and portfolio conflicts to the appropriate leaders.

• Support executive launch-readiness reviews from a business and client-outcomes perspective.

• Partner with product, operations, client services, and other stakeholders to define appropriate measures of success.

• Monitor post-launch performance and determine whether findings require a requirements change, product enhancement, operational remediation, or further leadership review.

• Maintain traceability between the original business need, approved requirements, delivered solution, and post-launch outcomes.

• Use market, client, operational, and performance insights to inform future product decisions.

About you…

• 10+ years of experience in product management, product strategy, healthcare solutions, business requirements, benefits administration, or a related field.

• Significant experience leading product, product strategy, discovery, or requirements teams in healthcare, benefits, or another regulated industry.

• Demonstrated success working with complex healthcare organizations, benefits stakeholders, or regulated-industry clients.

• Strong understanding of health plan or benefits-related capabilities, which may include benefit design, eligibility, enrollment, claims or benefit administration, member communications, reporting, data exchange, and operations.

• Experience translating regulatory, contractual, operational, and client needs into clear business outcomes and requirements.

• Strong knowledge of product discovery, requirements governance, traceability, scope management, prioritization, and change control.

• Demonstrated ability to separate business needs and outcomes from product and technical solutions.

• Proven ability to communicate effectively with executive, client, product, technology, operational, legal, and compliance audiences.

• Experience building or improving product strategy, intake, discovery, or business-requirements practices.
