Principal Product Manager

Role Summary

You will lead product strategy and execution for DaVita’s Financial Technologies (Fin Tech) portfolio, partnering with Accounting, Finance, and Procurement teams to identify the right problems to solve, conduct discovery and research, and deliver simple, high‑impact improvements that make work easier for teammates and leaders. Serve as product discovery leader, strategic partner, and outcomes owner, operating with a human‑centered mindset and strong cross‑functional leadership, while driving product vision, discovery, and delivery across enterprise financial systems.

• Own the product direction and outcomes: set clear product vision and strategy for financial systems aligned to business Multi‑Year Objectives (MYOs) with measurable Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to drive outcomes.
• Build and maintain a roadmap that connects business lane 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 and feedback to adjust priorities over time.
• Lead discovery the “right way” (research, design, problem framing): partner with research/design and business lanes to deeply understand user needs, pain points, and root causes (not just feature requests); run discovery interviews, workflow observation, journey mapping, hypothesis testing, and rapid experiments to validate what will achieve outcomes; facilitate structured working sessions and design workshops that produce clear decisions, tradeoffs, and action plans.
• Be an objective strategic partner: build strong, trusted relationships across Accounting, Finance, Procurement teams and adjacent partners like IT/Engineering, Compliance, and Change/Communications teams; bring an “outside‑in” perspective, industry best practices, product thinking, and user empathy; 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 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 product 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, stakeholder updates; own investment/value conversations for your product area (e.g., benefit sizing, tradeoffs, sequencing).

• Business lane leaders consistently say they get to outcomes faster.
• Transform financial systems to streamline critical workflows and enhance teammate experience and efficiency, with success measured through agreed metrics/OKRs.
• Roadmap focused, prioritized, and transparent; teams can explain what they’re doing and why in plain language.

• 8+ years of experience in product management or closely related product leadership, including substantial experience leading discovery and shipping meaningful product outcomes.
• Strong 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.
• Ability to travel up to 25%.

• Experience with enterprise financial platforms and ecosystems such as Oracle, Coupa, Vertex, and Anaplan; deep expertise in Oracle Fusion, Oracle EBS, or comparable ERP platforms.
• Proven ability to influence and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Demonstrated experience leading large‑scale, cross‑functional transformations, including ERP modernization and AI‑enabled capabilities.
• Strong understanding of financial operations, controls, and process optimization.
• Experience working within a highly regulated environment, balancing innovation with governance, risk, and compliance requirements.
• Denver, CO preferred.
