The Senior Product Manager is a strategic product leader responsible for defining and executing the product strategy for Optum Payment Integrity's Provider Education and Coding Advisor products. These products are widely adopted in the market and provide an opportunity to quickly scale new value from product innovation. Optum Payment Integrity helps health plans and healthcare organizations ensure claims are paid accurately and fairly, reducing unnecessary medical spend across the full claim lifecycle through a combination of advanced analytics, AI, and deep healthcare reimbursement expertise. Our Provider Education and Coding Advisor products combine analytics, provider engagement, and education to improve coding accuracy, reduce payment integrity risk, and drive measurable changes in provider billing behavior. You will own the product vision, roadmap, and performance ensuring the product delivers measurable client value, scales effectively, and remains differentiated in the market.

This is a high-impact role for a strategic product leader who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and market opportunity, and who is equally adept at setting vision and driving execution.

At Optum, product leaders are builders and connectors - translating complex healthcare challenges into scalable, data-driven solutions that improve affordability and trust in the healthcare system. You will collaborate closely with other Product Managers and cross-functional teams to advance a unified roadmap and shared vision for building AI-powered solutions that transform healthcare payment integrity. If you thrive on turning insight into impact and working across teams to drive innovation, you'll find your next challenge here.

Careers with Optum offer flexible work arrangements and individuals who live and work in the Republic of Ireland will have the opportunity to split their monthly work hours between our Dublin or Letterkenny office and telecommuting from a home-based office in a hybrid work model.
