Senior Product Manager, Cloud Platform

About the Team

The Platform Product team at Datavant is responsible for partnering with the Core Technology / Platform Engineer teams to build the technical foundations that accelerate our Product Engineering teams. We obsess about creating leverage for our developers and product development process; and achieve this by having a unique combination of: technical expertise, domain experience, and product-oriented thinking.

About the Role

You will be the product partner for the Cloud Platform teams (Cloud Software, Cloud Services, Cloud Operations). These teams are responsible for managing third-party tools / platforms (e.g. Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and observability stacks), and creation of internal tools with reusable frameworks to support the software development lifecycle.

In this role you will:

• Set the vision by partnering with engineering leaders in Cloud Platform to understand our technology strategy
• Be customer centric by obsessing about solving our developers’ problems. Partner with the engineering team to ship functionality that delight our developers, while balancing impact vs engineering cost, and making a measurable impact on the business.
• Be decisive by identifying current and future areas of ambiguity and providing direction along with reasoning and analysis. You will be seen as a source of authority with sound judgment on business, technical and organizational issues, and able to articulate your perspective effectively.
• Write great product requirements that provide clarity and motivation for what we need to build. You will generate workable solutions, avoid potholes, draw ideas from wherever they come, anchored by a complete understanding of the systems your product touches, and know how to lead discussions and bring others along.
• Drive adoption by working closely with engineering teams across the organization. You will add value by removing objections, roadblocks, and identifying solutions.
• Be a leader through example and attitude.
• Operate like an owner with a “no job is too small” attitude, doing what is needed to make your product, your team, and Datavant a success.

About You

• You have 5+ years in product management, product strategy, or engineering , ideally in healthcare (or a similar industry) where security / compliance play a major design and development role
• You are technical . When needed, you aren’t afraid to dive into the code to understand what is going on. You have an understanding of containerization ecosystems (Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD), Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and GitOps. Collaborating with the Engineering team in architectural whiteboard sessions is your jam.
• You are a systems thinker . You identify leverage points for creating change and understand potential impacts across the entire system; you are comfortable with complexity and can manage feedback loops.
• You are highly organized and have strong project management skills; others are confident in a project’s outcome when you own it.
• You have high bandwidth and high productivity : you quickly understand, formulate, and respond.
• You write exceptional documents , presentations, diagrams, and mockups. Your documentation leads to discussions about content, not about intended meaning.
• You are a great communicator with the confidence to lead planning meetings with anyone or any group within the company. You can explain strategies, rationales, and products in terms that each audience can understand.
• You work hard . You are at your best working at full speed, and you love what you do.
• You are motivated by getting stuff done . You are wired to set the big vision and take continual steps toward it; both vision and execution matter to you.
• You are a team player . You put yourself in others’ positions and understand their motivations, needs, perspectives and potential confusions.

You are proactive. You define how the product should evolve and bias to action.
