Product Manager

We are looking for a Product Manager to guide the direction of a workforce-focused product serving healthcare organizations in San Diego, California. This Long-term Contract position will shape strategy by connecting customer needs, operational realities, and measurable business outcomes across staffing, finance, HR, and clinical leadership. The ideal candidate brings strong product judgment, a deep understanding of workforce-related challenges, and the ability to turn complex insights into a clear product path that delivers meaningful value.

Responsibilities:
• Lead product direction by ensuring the team focuses on meaningful customer and business problems rather than feature delivery alone.
• Build a strong understanding of workforce planning, staffing operations, nursing leadership, finance, HR, and vendor management to inform product decisions.
• Convert customer pain points, market opportunities, and desired outcomes into a practical product strategy and sequencing approach.
• Evaluate and prioritize high-impact opportunities such as unified data visibility, confidence in staffing data, demand forecasting insight, supply optimization, guided decision support, cost control, workflow collaboration, and compliance support.
• Define and track success measures tied to business impact, including staffing efficiency, labor cost reduction, internal fill improvement, forecasting adoption, and confidence in workforce data.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders across operations, finance, IT, legal, compliance, and leadership to align on direction while maintaining focus on user needs and outcomes.
• Use discovery methods such as interviews, assumption testing, prototype evaluation, concierge testing, and business-case analysis before committing to complex product investments.
• Apply data fluency to challenge inconsistent metric definitions and clarify how key workforce measures are interpreted across teams and facilities.
• Make informed prioritization decisions in ambiguous situations and identify the best entry point for product adoption and value creation.
• Connect product performance indicators to broader organizational results such as reduced agency spend, lower avoidable overtime, faster staffing gap resolution, and less manual reconciliation effort.
