Director, Prospective + Concurrent Risk Adjustment Products

Director of Prospective + Concurrent Risk Adjustment Products

Datavant is a data platform company and the world's leader in health data exchange. Our vision is that every healthcare decision is powered by the right data, at the right time, in the right format. Our platform is powered by the largest, most diverse health data network in the U.S., enabling data to be secure, accessible and usable to inform better health decisions. Datavant is trusted by the world's leading life sciences companies, government agencies, and those who deliver and pay for care. By joining Datavant today, you're stepping onto a high-performing, values-driven team. Together, we're rising to the challenge of tackling some of healthcare's most complex problems with technology-forward solutions. Datavanters bring a diversity of professional, educational and life experiences to realize our bold vision for healthcare.

As the Director of Prospective + Concurrent Risk Adjustment Products, you will lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution for the product portfolio focused on identifying and acting on undiagnosed conditions (prospective suspecting) and ensuring risk adjustment coding accuracy in near real-time (concurrent review). You will manage a cross-functional team of product managers and product designers and collaborate deeply with data science, clinical experts, engineering, and commercial teams to accelerate innovative solutions that surface timely, high-accuracy clinical insights directly into provider workflows. These capabilities help health plans and risk bearing groups improve revenue integrity, close care gaps earlier, and enable better care decisions at the point of service. This is a leadership role that combines strategic thinking, clinical product development expertise, and people management responsibilities. You'll be accountable for ensuring our products deliver measurable impact for value-based care customers while building a high-performance team and culture.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Strategy: Own and evolve the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Prospective Suspecting and Concurrent Review solutions within Datavant's Clinical Insights Platform suite. Define multi-year plans aligned to customer outcomes, regulatory drivers, and market trends in risk adjustment, care management, and provider enablement. Identify and prioritize use cases that leverage AI/ML and real-time data signals to surface high-impact suspects and coding opportunities. Drive innovation leveraging interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, APIs) to enable seamless enablement with EHRs, care management platforms, and third party integrations. Balance innovation with compliance, audit defensibility, and clinical integrity across all product decisions.
• Execution & Delivery: Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle, including ideation, requirements gathering, development, launch, and post-launch optimization. Work closely with Engineering and Data Science to build predictive models and real-time data pipelines that power suspecting and concurrent workflows. Ensure products are clinically relevant, user-centric, and integrated into existing payer and provider workflows through interoperability integrations. Set and track KPIs for each product line, such as suspect accuracy, provider engagement, risk score impact, and concurrent coding capture and correction rates. Establish and track KPIs that measure both risk adjustment performance and interoperability success (data exchange rates, provider adoption).
• Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a trusted partner and clinical product expert for internal stakeholders (Sales, Clinical, Operations, Client Success) and external clients (health plans, ACOs, risk bearing provider groups). Lead customer discovery and feedback sessions to deeply understand provider workflows, documentation behaviors, and concurrent coding needs. Present product strategy and roadmap updates to executive stakeholders and client advisory boards. Represent Datavant in industry conversations on emerging regulations and best practices related to prospective risk capture and concurrent review.
• Compliance & Quality: Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Policy teams to interpret and operationalize updates from CMS (e.g., Final Rules, model updates, guidance on medical record standards). Implement and monitor processes that ensure defensibility of all outputs, documentation standards, and audit trails. Design and embed audit readiness into product workflows, ensuring all activities are traceable, evidence-backed, and aligned with CMS documentation requirements. Provide strategic recommendations and decision frameworks when trade-offs between revenue, compliance, and user experience arise.
• Leadership & Culture: Build, lead, and coach a team of Product Managers working across different facets within prospective and concurrent solutions. Provide mentorship, performance management, and career development aligned with Datavant's leadership principles and growth culture. Establish best-in-class product practices and instill a culture of experimentation, feedback, and continuous learning. Support resourcing and hiring plans as product needs evolve and grow.
