OVERVIEW:

The Product Strategy Principal is a senior contributor responsible for developing and evaluating new and emerging solution opportunities by delivering scalable analytics that inform internal product strategy and enhance external, buyer decision-making to create market differentiating solutions that drive adoption and growth. This role operates at the intersection of product development, market strategy and advanced analytics, identifying opportunities and translating complex enterprise data into durable insight frameworks that drive measurable business outcomes.

This role serves as a strategic partner to product, network, contracting, and account management stakeholders. Success is measured not by volume of analysis delivered, but by reuse, adoption, speed to insight, and influence on high‑impact decisions.

• Solution Feasibility Assessment: Serve as the principal analytics partner to internal product and account management leadership, shaping problem definition, analytic approach, and decision framing for complex questions. Influence product and portfolio strategy through advanced analytics that support pricing, performance measurement, opportunity sizing, and solution design.

• Market Impact & Differentiation Analysis - Operating Model & Enablement: Own the analytics intake‑to‑delivery lifecycle, including prioritization and right‑sizing of analytic approaches. Support the development of analytics frameworks, documentation, and enablement artifacts that support self‑service consumption and reuse across teams.

• Pipeline Relevance and Valuation: Identify opportunities that create incremental or net-new value. Define the value proposition, success measures, and strategic rationale for new solution concepts.

• Cross‑Functional Influence: Collaborate closely with product managers, network strategy, contracting, clinical, and account teams to ensure analytics outputs are actionable, trusted, and aligned to business objectives.

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in the healthcare industry or PBS (e.g. advanced analytics, product development, clinical strategy, business development); bachelor’s degree or advanced degree preferred

• Strong financial acumen; experience using financial modeling tools, translating ambiguous business problems into structured analytical approaches, interpreting and reviewing financial modeling results and evaluating financial impacts

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex findings into clear decision-ready narratives and insights; experience presenting key findings to clients

• Experience supporting product strategy, portfolio performance, or client growth initiatives

• Strong partnership and collaboration skills

• Demonstrated expertise in healthcare innovation

• Exceptional Strategic thinker with a track record of anticipating trends and translating insights into actionable plans

• Experience working effectively in a matrixed organization with strong relationship-building and stakeholder management
