Senior Director, Contracting Product

Role 

As the Senior Director of Contracting Product at Turquoise Health, you will play an integral leadership role on our Product team. You will be responsible for the vision and execution across our Clear Contracts product platform for payers, providers, and employers. This position requires expertise in back-office healthcare and reimbursement processes. The ideal candidate has experience with effective uses of AI and Machine Learning to improve SaaS platform functionality as well as experience in a startup environment, preferably with ownership of a product that manages disorganized documents, manipulates data, and/or creates financial models.

Qualified candidates may bring a unique mix of B2B SaaS product leadership in a complex industry, an intense focus on users and willingness to engage with them, and a clear understanding of how to successfully incorporate accurate AI technology into an otherwise archaic industry. As the leader of our Contracting Product, you will collaborate with a team of experts in healthcare reimbursement and work alongside professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of provider, payer, employer, and consultant dynamics. If you are a tactical thinker with a passion for solving complex problems that drive economic change, we invite you to join our dynamic team. Clear Contracts is foundational to our future vision of creating a platform that facilitates transaction efficiency between numerous healthcare stakeholders. This is a high-visibility role that requires exceptional tactical execution, effective decision-making, and meticulous roadmap planning.

We strongly encourage BIPOC, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks to apply for any open roles of interest. Building a truly diverse team is a challenge that we do not shy away from. Healthcare affects all people differently, but it significantly affects those in underserved communities. With a robust, diverse team, we are stronger and better equipped to change the future of healthcare for all.
