  • Support implementation planning, release readiness, documentation, validation, and adoption activities using efficient, outcome-focused delivery practices.
  • Track platform usage, adoption, client satisfaction, cycle-time improvements, reuse, quality, and other agreed-upon outcomes to continuously refine backlog priorities and improve platform performance.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce internal friction, improve self-service, and increase consistency across product and engineering teams through reusable platform capabilities.
  • Develop guidance, demonstrations, and enablement resources that help internal users successfully adopt platform capabilities within AI-first product and engineering workflows.
Desired Qualifications

  • Typically 3–5 years of relevant experience in product management, product ownership, platform products, workflow automation, business process management (BPM), rules engines, enterprise technology, AI-enabled workflows, or platform enablement.

What believers are saying

  • Q3 2025 renewals included UNC Health, Duke-adjacent networks, and Hawaii Pacific Health.
  • Vizient's Winter 2026 outlook warns indirect spend inflation remains structurally elevated through 2027.

What critics are saying

  • Premier and HealthTrust attack Vizient's core GPO contracts as hospitals consolidate in 2026.
  • Endure's 2026 antitrust fight shows suppliers keep challenging Vizient's contracting power.
  • Hospitals can insource analytics and direct sourcing, shrinking Vizient's relevance and fees quickly.

What makes Vizient unique

  • Vizient serves more than two-thirds of U.S. acute care providers as member-owned infrastructure.
  • Its $156 billion contract portfolio creates unmatched purchasing leverage and pricing data.
