Product Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE At Pennant, we're committed to providing exceptional care to every patient we serve. We believe technology should help our clinicians do just that, by taking on the tasks they're less passionate about so they can focus on what they love most: caring for patients. Pennant Services is hiring a Product Manager to make the technology our clinicians and operations teams use every day simpler, faster and easier to work with. You'll focus on results that matter to two groups: clinicians caring for patients in the field, and the back-office teams supporting home health, hospice, home care and senior living. You'll build on our EMR foundation, extending and connecting it with the products around it so clinicians spend less time on technology and more time with patients. You'll join a small, cross-functional product team of engineers, designers and a product analyst, reporting to product leadership. Every tool we build has to earn its place. We're focused on products that grow revenue, protect margins, reduce direct and indirect costs, and improve patient satisfaction and care quality outcomes. You'll help define what that looks like and deliver it.
