Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Senior Product Manager, BuildService Experience
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to help lead our Builder Service Experience focus within our Platform and Data Services subdivision. The Platform and Data Services subdivision primarily builds tools, frameworks, and products for use by internal athenahealth development teams within our athenaOne flagship product. Additionally, we also have a suite of technical products such as APIs, Eventing, CDS Hooks, SSO, etc., that can be leveraged by external customers who want to build on top of the athenaOne ecosystem. These products may be used by existing athenaOne customers who want to build their own apps or by third-party health IT companies who will innovate specific workflows leveraging these tools.
This role will be focused on customer-facing experiences for these “builders” to learn about, onboard to, manage, and get support for these technical products. While each technical product is different, the customers using them often leverage more than one so the priority is improving the consistency of experience and depth of capabilities within each to empower our customers. Key responsibilities include: understanding the market and customer, driving to a product vision, developing business cases, ensuring a product or set of product features meets business requirements and driving the creation and delivery of the product. This position will work daily within scrum teams defining and writing user stories, prioritizing product backlogs, and making trade off decisions between scope and schedule.
You have a passion for improving healthcare and can speak the language of Dev Portals. You have experience in customer-facing workflows and are passionate about efficiency, usability, simplicity, and the power of good design to deliver business value. Your drive allows you to achieve meaningful results, with empathy for the user of our products and services. You are able to influence both horizontally and vertically inside and outside of an organization. You appreciate the software development process and the varying personalities in the cross-functional groups that we work with. You possess the ability to prioritize and multi-task in a fast-paced environment, manage multiple complex projects simultaneously, meet deadlines, and demonstrate sound judgement when determining whether to act independently or escalate.
The Team: The Builder Service Experience team supports client-facing workflows and internal support processes that enable the onboarding, usage, management, and support of our Platform technical capabilities that enable these “builders” to leverage all the power of the athenaOne ecosystem within their own apps. We are a mission-driven team of product, engineering, UX, and analytics professionals that are passionate about making healthcare a better industry for care providers and patients.
This is a hybrid role based in Boston, MA.

About athenahealth
Here’s our vision: To create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
What’s unique about our locations?
From an historic, 19th century arsenal to a converted, landmark power plant, all of athenahealth’s offices were carefully chosen to represent our innovative spirit and promote the most positive and productive work environment for our teams. Our 10 offices across the United States and India — plus numerous remote employees — all work to modernize the healthcare experience, together.
Our company culture might be our best feature.
We don't take ourselves too seriously. But our work? That’s another story. athenahealth develops and implements products and services that support US healthcare: It’s our chance to create healthier futures for ourselves, for our family and friends, for everyone.
Our vibrant and talented employees — or athenistas, as we call ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish our goal. We continue to expand our workforce with amazing people who bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives at every level, and foster an environment where every athenista feels comfortable bringing their best selves to work.
Our size makes a difference, too: We are small enough that your individual contributions will stand out — but large enough to grow your career with our resources and established business stability.
Giving back is integral to our culture. Our athenaGives platform strives to support food security, expand access to high-quality healthcare for all, and support STEM education to develop providers and technologists who will provide access to high-quality healthcare for all in the future. As part of the evolution of athenahealth’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, we’ve selected nonprofit partners that align with our purpose and let us foster long-term partnerships for charitable giving, employee volunteerism, insight sharing, collaboration, and cross-team engagement.
What can we do for you?
Along with health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to each location, including commuter support, employee assistance programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and collaborative workspaces — some offices even welcome dogs.
In addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and hackathons. And we provide athenistas with a company culture based on learning, the support of an engaged team, and an inclusive environment where all employees are valued.
We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within an office environment, full-time. With consistent communication and digital collaboration tools, athenahealth enables employees to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each individual situation.
athenahealth is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity—that’s why we recruit and hire applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, genetic information, gender identity, gender expression, or any other factor prohibited by law.
