- Experience with all aspects of product and feature development, such as managing a product backlog, working with designers to create features, and working with engineering teams to implement and maintain a product

What the job involves
- Cedar is looking for a Product Lead to head our New Verticals initiative
- As Product Lead, you will lead a highly talented team of engineers and designers to develop and launch new payment products in different verticals of healthcare
- You will work closely with a commercial counterpart to identify market opportunities and quickly develop solutions to address these opportunities
- You will have direct, frequent access to customers and users to understand their needs and test ideas
- This is not a typical “big company” product role - it’s a unique opportunity to lead early stage product development with the resources of an established company
- This role will be challenging, sometimes requiring you to stretch beyond the typical role of a product manager, but will also be fun and rewarding. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn how to do “zero to one” development!
- Recognize opportunities in healthcare payments markets
- You will be responsible for doing market and customer research, identifying opportunities to deploy Cedar’s technology within different verticals of healthcare
- Manage development of new products and features
- You will lead a small team of designers and engineers to build new features and products
- You will be responsible for defining the “what” and “why” of each feature and product, working with a product designer to craft a vision for each feature
- You will manage a feature backlog, defining prioritization for the engineering team
- Support go-to-market for your products
- You will work closely with a commercial counterpart to create a sales and marketing strategy for each product
- You will often participate in sales pitches for early stage products to understand customer needs and help refine the pitch
- You will work with marketers to craft clever campaigns
Our take
Over $1 billion is said to be lost annually by physicians as a result of inefficient and disjointed healthcare billing practices. The subsequently low patient satisfaction rates lead to poorer care, and real losses for providers who see patients switching away from their plans.
Cedar looks to remedy these issues with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance and healthcare processes. Healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, so optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern - a great opportunity for the company.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar netted substantial funds and launched its Payer Intelligence Layer. This allows it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. The company was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division, to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology.
