OVERVIEW:
The Product Strategy Principal is a senior contributor responsible for developing and evaluating new and emerging solution opportunities by delivering scalable analytics that inform internal product strategy and enhance external, buyer decision-making to create market differentiating solutions that drive adoption and growth. This role operates at the intersection of product development, market strategy and advanced analytics, identifying opportunities and translating complex enterprise data into durable insight frameworks that drive measurable business outcomes.

Influence product and portfolio strategy through advanced analytics that support pricing, performance measurement, opportunity sizing, and solution design.
Market Impact & Differentiation Analysis - Operating Model & Enablement: Own the analytics intake‑to‑delivery lifecycle, including prioritization and right‑sizing of analytic approaches. Support the development of analytics frameworks, documentation, and enablement artifacts that support self‑service consumption and reuse across teams.
Pipeline Relevance and Valuation: Identify opportunities that create incremental or net-new value. Define the value proposition, success measures, and strategic rationale for new solution concepts.
Cross‑Functional Influence: Collaborate closely with product managers, network strategy, contracting, clinical, and account teams to ensure analytics outputs are actionable, trusted, and aligned to business objectives.
