Are you ready to drive the development of AI-powered solutions that will transform the way Provider Operations works?
This opportunity focuses on enabling and scaling advanced Generative AI and agentic capabilities that improve the ease, speed, and quality of work for our internal teams across healthcare provider-facing workflows. This position requires combining the ability to rapidly get up to speed on complex business processes with strong applied expertise in emerging AI techniques to shape high-impact solutions. You will partner with multiple Empowered Product Teams (EPTs), Product Managers, and engineering/AI leaders to identify the most valuable opportunities, guide solution approaches, and help remove obstacles to successful deployment within the Provider Operations and Coverage Review Ops organization.

Job Description Summary
The Product Management Senior Advisor – AI Enablement drives solution strategy and enables execution across multiple Empowered Product Teams (EPTs) to maximize the value and transformational potential of AI-powered capabilities within Provider Operations and Coverage Review Ops. This role is responsible for ensuring alignment within and between EPTs in the areas they support by shaping shared solution approaches, accelerating delivery through influence, and partnering closely with Product Managers, technology teams, and operations leaders.
The Product Management Senior Advisor will identify the most intractable problems facing provider-facing workflows (claims, provider data, calls, appeals, and authorization) and work with engineering and AI partners to apply appropriate Generative AI and agentic techniques to address them—ensuring product timelines, accuracy, performance, and adoption are not negatively impacted. This role achieves results by rapidly learning complex business processes, moving from zero knowledge to functional understanding quickly, and translating that understanding into clear, high-impact solution direction.
In collaboration with product designers, operations, and tech leads, the Product Management Senior Advisor will guide development of AI-enabled solutions by establishing strong problem–technology alignment, promoting reusable patterns across teams, clearing roadblocks, and driving enterprise-level alignment. When a solution is sufficiently centered on agentic capabilities, this role may also assume direct ownership of an AI-first product or capability area, while maintaining its primary focus on enabling multiple teams and scaling effective AI solutions across the provider domain.
The Emerging Technologies Product Team
This is a dedicated team that focuses on working in the Product Operating Model framework with the goal of developing applications powered by cutting edge technology for our internal teams. Team members use their expertise in leading Generative AI techniques and other technologies to maximize value and transformational potential. The team collaborates in a highly matrixed and fast-moving environment, working with a variety of matrix partners and leadership to achieve the enterprise goals.
