Product Manager - Healthcare Data Systems

Analytica is seeking a Product Manager to support a mission-critical CMS application that enables the Center for Medicare’s rate-setting activities through the collection, validation, and processing of market-based data.

The Product Manager supports both ongoing operations and modernization initiatives within a secure, FISMA-compliant AWS cloud environment.

This role is primarily remote but requires 1x a week onsite attendance at our Bethesda, MD headquarters.
