[Hiring] Group Lead Product Manager @Cedar

Role Description

Cedar is improving the healthcare financial experience. Our technology improves the overall patient billing and engagement experience, enabling healthcare providers to thrive in a constantly evolving environment while helping patients understand the cost of their care.

Cedar is looking for a Group Lead Product Manager to lead our Patient Data Platform team. Cedar's next generation of products, including agentic workflows, operator tools, and standalone billing experiences, all depend on a unified, reliable, and extensible data foundation. As the product lead, you will co-own that foundation: the normalized data model, transformation pipelines, integration standards, and data exchange patterns that turn raw data feeds into clean, trustworthy patient accounting records that power Cedar's product portfolio.

This is one of the most impactful and technically challenging roles at Cedar. You bring deep expertise in how health systems generate and exchange clinical and financial data: data feeds, real-time integrations, HL7 messages from EHR systems like Epic, athena, and Cerner, and will apply that knowledge to shape how downstream products and AI-powered agents consume that data to drive patient and operator experiences. Your end-to-end perspective across people, process, and technology will set the course for how Cedar integrates complex and sensitive health system data at scale. You and your team will ensure that Cedar's products and agents have reliable, cross-system access to accurate, up-to-date, and secure information, enabling the next generation of intelligent healthcare financial workflows.

Cedar is committed to a flexible work environment, so this role, like many of our other roles, is remote-friendly.

• End-to-end ownership:
  • Own the Patient Data Platform from strategy through execution.

  • Work internally across Cedar's product engineering, integrations, payments, and communications teams.
  • Drive integration standards that support multi-product, multi-provider scale.
• Product definition:
  • Define and evolve Cedar's normalized data across providers.
  • Drive data governance standards including data quality tracking, lineage, and contract definitions.
• Roadmapping & Prioritization:
  • Own the multi-quarter roadmap for the Patient Data Platform.
  • Make tradeoff calls between long-term platform bets and near-term delivery commitments.
• Partnership with technical leadership:
  • Co-own data and architecture decisions with Cedar's senior technical leaders.
  • Translate product requirements into technical constraints and vice versa.
• Data governance and quality:
  • Establish data quality frameworks that ensure reliable, accurate data SLAs for go-lives.

  • Define and track platform health and adoption metrics.
  • Use data to inform prioritization and demonstrate platform ROI.
