Job Summary

We are looking to hire a Lead Data Science Product Manager for The AI Innovation Lab at HCSC. The AI Lab is focused on application of leading-edge AI technologies to the business challenges of HCSC, and the product manager of this team owns key responsibilities such as stakeholder engagement, product prioritization, scoping, execution, and delivery on a portfolio that focuses primarily on Generative AI applications. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the adoption of AI to transform one of HCSC’s core capabilities and drive tremendous impact for our customers and members.

At the largest customer-owned and not-for-profit health insurer and fourth largest health insurer overall in the United States, you will have the opportunity to work with massive datasets to drive revenue growth, improve our operational and member-facing processes, and affect how healthcare is delivered to our 17 million members.

An ideal candidate is someone who has a demonstrated track record of leading or delivering analytical projects and products with measurable value, can see the big picture and effectively communicate with executives, has an ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, and has a laser-focused customer and user-centric mindset. Day-to-day tasks include engaging senior and executive leadership in the domain area to understand their most significant business challenges, designing new AI products and solutions to automate or enable better decision making to address these challenges, building long-term product roadmaps, scaling and delivering on those products by working within cross-functional data science, IT, and business teams, and providing overall product leadership for one or more of our machine learning and AI initiatives. Successful candidates will also have indirect leadership over data scientists and engineers assigned to these initiatives.

Note that while this position requires an understanding of data science, machine learning, and AI and its applications, it does not require “hands on” technical work such as coding. We are looking for a businessperson who has a strong technical background that can lead and indirectly influence both IT and business teams to scale and deploy models in a complex organizational environment.
