About The Position

Optum is seeking a Principal Technical Product Manager to define and drive enterprise non-human identity (NHI), machine identity and agentic identity product strategy across consumer, workforce and shared identity platform use cases. The role addresses enterprise needs for authenticating, authorizing, governing, managing the lifecycle of, observing and auditing AI agents, digital workers, workloads and other machine identities. It is an individual-contributor leadership position that influences across organizational boundaries through product judgment, technical fluency and executive communication. The role owns the NHI product vision and multi-year roadmap, defines prioritized outcomes and success measures, aligns dependencies across authentication, authorization, security, architecture and AI platform teams, and develops reusable capabilities and adoption patterns from proofs of concept. The product leader will establish approaches to agent identity, human-to-agent delegation, least-privilege access, revocation, consent, traceability and policy enforcement, connecting these capabilities to enterprise authorization and human identity. The position is remote within the United States. Employees hired in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area must work in the office at least four days per week. Remote employees must follow UnitedHealth Group’s Telecommuter Policy. The salary range is $134,600–$230,800 annually for full-time employment, with compensation depending on factors such as location, education, experience and certifications.

Requirements

At least 8 years of product management experience in identity, security, platform, infrastructure, AI platform or similarly technical enterprise products.
Experience translating ambiguous technical problems into prioritized product decisions, requirements, adoption plans and executive recommendations.
Experience in IAM, including CIAM, identity platforms, cybersecurity or related domains, with knowledge of authentication, authorization, governance and identity lifecycle concepts.
Experience leading vendor outreach and evaluation, running proofs of concept, and shaping build-versus-buy or platform decisions.
Solid understanding of authorization and delegated-access concepts, including least privilege, policy-based decisions and enforcement across applications or APIs.
Experience owning product strategy, roadmap and 0-to-1 delivery for enterprise-scale platform capabilities, including defining success measures and measurable business or technical outcomes.
Ability to lead through influence across engineering, architecture, security, product, business and vendor stakeholders without direct authority.
Ability to communicate complex identity, security and agentic-system concepts clearly to technical and executive audiences.

Nice To Haves

Product experience with non-human, workload, service, machine or agentic identity capabilities.
Experience with human-to-agent delegation, agent sponsorship, token exchange, consent, revocation, auditability or related agent-governance patterns.
Experience across consumer and workforce identity domains, or leading shared capabilities across independently owned identity environments.
Experience in a regulated or high-trust environment such as healthcare, financial services or government.
Experience defining developer-facing or platform products adopted by multiple application teams or business domains.
Familiarity with IAM and authorization standards and patterns such as OAuth 2.0/2.1, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM, RBAC, ABAC, PBAC, ReBAC, or policy decision and enforcement patterns.
Exposure to workload or agentic identity patterns such as SPIFFE, service-to-service identity, delegated authorization, short-lived credentials or shared security signals.
Technical background in engineering, architecture, security, identity, infrastructure or platform product management.

Responsibilities

Own the product vision, strategy and multi-year roadmap for enterprise non-human, machine, workload and agentic identity capabilities across consumer, workforce and shared platform use cases.
Define problems, target outcomes, sequencing, adoption models and investment choices, and identify common enterprise capabilities versus domain-specific needs.
Align authentication, authorization, security, architecture, AI platform, consumer product, workforce identity and participating business teams.
Turn shared architecture and policy dependencies into product decisions, roadmaps, requirements and accountable owners; establish working boundaries among product, engineering, architecture, security and program management.
Define how agents, workloads and machine identities are authenticated, authorized, sponsored, delegated, governed, observed, audited and retired.
Shape product patterns for human-to-agent delegation, least-privilege access, revocation, consent, traceability and policy enforcement, integrating agentic identity with enterprise authorization and human identity.
Prioritize use cases and proofs of concept that validate product hypotheses and create reusable enterprise patterns.
Translate proof-of-concept learnings into scalable capabilities, implementation guidance, pilot plans and adoption plans.
Partner with engineering and architecture to assess feasibility, surface tradeoffs, and make evidence-based build, buy or partner recommendations.
Translate ambiguous technical and business problems into strategy, priorities, roadmaps, success measures and outcomes; communicate recommendations, risks, dependencies and investment needs to senior leaders and stakeholders.
Build decision narratives connecting security and architecture capabilities to business value, customer enablement, risk reduction and enterprise reuse.
Define product health, adoption, reliability, security, auditability and business-value measures for NHI capabilities.
Maintain transparent roadmaps, decision records, status updates and dependency views to support execution.
Monitor industry standards, market direction and vendor capabilities, and lead vendor outreach and evaluation.
Establish a repeatable engagement model that helps product and application teams adopt NHI capabilities without creating one-off solutions.
