Senior Product Manager, Data Platform
We are seeking a Product Manager, Data Platform, to own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Arbital’s data platform – the systems that ingest, process, configure, and serve healthcare claims and contract data for value-based care. You'll define how data flows across the platform – from raw client files through standardized processing, contract configuration, financial reporting, and AI consumption – and partner with engineering, actuarial, and implementation teams to make these systems scalable, configurable, and self-serve so non-engineers can drive day-to-day operations. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who is equally comfortable writing a PRD and digging into a data schema.
Responsibilities:
Product Strategy & Roadmap
-
Own the product roadmap for Arbital’s data pipeline platform, including ingestion, transformation, calculation, validation, audit trail, and AI consumption layers
-
Define and prioritize pipeline capabilities based on client needs, implementation learnings, engineering constraints, and long-term platform scalability goals
-
Translate complex healthcare data requirements from claims processing to VBC contract logic into structured, buildable product specs
-
Partner with leadership to align pipeline investments with Arbital’s broader product and go-to-market strategy
Execution & Delivery
-
Write detailed PRDs, user stories, and technical specifications for platform features, configurations, and automation tooling
-
Work directly with engineering to scope, sequence, and ship pipeline improvements — balancing speed, quality, and flexibility
-
Define acceptance criteria and lead QA processes for new pipeline & platform capabilities, ensuring outputs meet accuracy and performance standards
-
Drive platform delivery end-to-end, owning prioritization, cross-team dependencies, and release coordination
Data & Technical Depth
-
Develop deep fluency in Arbital’s data models, pipeline architecture, and healthcare data standards (claims, eligibility, attribution, CMS/ACO files), and actuarial concepts (IBNR, rebates, contract terms)
-
Work hands-on with data — running SQL queries, reviewing pipeline outputs, and validating logic — to inform product decisions and support debugging
-
Define standards for data quality, deduplication, business rule configuration, lineage, and pipeline observability across all client environments
-
Evaluate and recommend tooling improvements across the platform stack (e.g., Airflow, Databricks, AWS) in partnership with engineering
Cross-Functional Collaboration
-
Serve as the primary product owner for data capabilities across implementation, engineering, actuarial, and data science teams
-
Partner closely with the Implementation team to surface recurring client configuration needs and turn them into scalable platform features
-
Collaborate with actuarial and data science teams to ensure pipeline logic correctly supports attribution, aggregation, and actuarial use cases
-
Communicate roadmap priorities, tradeoffs, and delivery status clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders
-
4–7 years of experience in product management, with at least 2 years owning data platform, data infrastructure, data pipelines, or platform/API products
-
Strong technical foundation — comfortable reading data schemas, writing SQL, and engaging meaningfully with engineering on architecture decisions
-
Experience working with healthcare data (claims, eligibility, value-based care) strongly preferred
-
Proven ability to translate ambiguous, complex requirements into clear, actionable product specifications
-
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills — experience working across engineering, data science, and client-facing teams
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to tailor messaging to both technical and business audiences
-
High attention to detail and a strong bias toward quality in data products
-
Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
-
Hands-on experience with Airflow, Databricks, Python, dbt, or AWS data services
-
Background in value-based care, actuarial modeling, or population health analytics
-
Experience building configurable, multi-tenant data pipelines at scale
-
Experience with data lineage, audit trail, or data governance products
-
Prior work at a health tech startup or data-driven healthcare company
-
Familiarity with BI tooling such as Sigma or Looker
