About the position

As the Lead Product Owner (PO) for Clinical Operations at CenterWell, you will be instrumental in shaping the future of technology products within our integrated care delivery system. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that we create maximum value for our customers by championing the product, facilitating product and feature decisions, and owning accountability for product content and releases. You will serve as the vital link between the agile team, which includes organizational change management experts and configuration specialists, and various stakeholders such as Business Owners and Product Management. Your role will involve continuously addressing the needs and requirements of all stakeholders, making prioritization decisions on their behalf, and working closely with the team to define and drive the product vision. This includes establishing increment and sprint goals, as well as prioritizing the team's backlog. The scope of your work will primarily focus on products related to physicians and clinical providers' workflows in digital products within the Primary Care Organization (PCO).
