Others see you as a source of authority, reinforced by your exceptional judgment on a range of issues, including business, technical and organizational and an ability to articulate your perspective effectively.

• Write great product requirements that provide clarity and motivation for what we need to build. You will be noted for your ability to generate workable solutions, avoid potholes, take good ideas from wherever they come, all anchored by a complete understanding of the systems your product touches and the ways in which they are used in practice. As part of the requirement development process, you know how to lead discussions and bring others along with you.

• Drive adoption by working closely with engineering teams across the entire organization. You will add value to this process 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.

• You are a systems thinker. You can identify the key leverage points for creating change and improvement, understanding the potential impacts of your decisions across the entire system. You are comfortable working with complexity and can identify and manage feedback loops.

• You are highly organized and have strong project management skills: others are confident in a project’s outcome when they know you’re owning it.

• You have high bandwidth and high productivity : others wonder where you find time to do all you do. Your secret is that you are quick to understand, formulate and respond.

• You write exceptional documents , presentations, diagrams, and mockups. Your documentation leads to discussions about the content, not about what is intended.

• You are a great communicator and have the confidence to lead planning meetings with anyone or any group within the company. You have the ability to 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 both set the big vision and to make continual steps towards that vision. Neither vision setting nor execution is satisfactory by itself to you - you want both.
