## About the Role

* 8+ years in product management (or closely related product leadership), including substantial experience leading discovery and shipping meaningful product outcomes.
 * Strong track record of partnering with business leaders and technical teams to deliver measurable outcomes.
 * Demonstrated strength in problem framing, prioritization, stakeholder management, and communication.
 * Experience facilitating working sessions/design workshops with clear outputs and decisions.

Preferred

 * Experience with enterprise HR platforms and ecosystems (DaVita context includes platforms like Workday and People Services workflows).
 * Experience in complex, regulated environments where privacy, risk, and controls matter.

## Description

You will lead product strategy and execution for DaVita's People Services Systems-partnering closely with People Services to identify the right problems to solve, run discovery and research, and deliver simple, high-impact improvements that make work easier for teammates and leaders. This role is equal parts product discovery leader, strategic partner, and outcomes owner, operating with a human-centered mindset and strong cross-functional leadership.
What you'll do (core responsibilities)

Own the product direction and outcomes

 * Set a clear product vision and strategy for People Services Systems, aligned to business goals and measurable outcomes (OKRs).
 * Build and maintain a roadmap that connects People Services goals to prioritized product work (what we will do-and what we won't do).
 * Define success metrics, create a measurement plan, and use data + feedback to adjust priorities over time.

Lead discovery the "right way" (research, design, problem framing)

 * Partner with Research/Design and People Services to deeply understand user needs, pain points, and root causes (not just feature requests).
 * Facilitate structured working sessions and design workshops that produce clear decisions, tradeoffs, and action plans.

Be an objective strategic partner to People Services

 * Build strong, trusted relationships across People Services (and adjacent partners like IT/Engineering, Finance, Compliance, and Change/Comms).
 * Bring an "outside-in" perspective-industry best practices, product thinking, and user empathy-to help leaders solve the biggest problems, not the loudest ones.
 * Create clarity in ambiguous spaces: align stakeholders on the "why," define what good looks like, and drive decisions forward.

Drive delivery through cross-functional leadership

 * Partner with engineering/IT/outside supplies and delivery leaders to translate validated problems into product requirements, sequencing, and delivery plans.
 * Own backlog prioritization and tradeoffs; ensure teams stay focused on outcomes, not output volume.
 * Lead launch readiness: enablement, training/job aids, feedback loops, and post-launch measurement.

Governance, investment, and operational rigor

 * Manage product operating rhythms: quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, progress reporting, and stakeholder updates.
 * Own investment/value conversations for your product area (e.g., benefit sizing, tradeoffs, sequencing).

What success looks like (simple, measurable)

 * People Services leaders consistently say: "This team helps us solve the right problems and gets to outcomes faster."
 * HR system improvements reduce friction in critical workflows and improve teammate experience (measured through agreed metrics/OKRs).
 * Roadmap is focused, prioritized, and transparent-teams can explain what they're doing and why, in plain language.
