About The Position

LiveData has spent more than two decades solving the hardest data problem in healthcare: capturing what is actually happening inside a hospital operating room — in real time — and turning that signal into clarity for the clinicians, coordinators, and administrators who run one of the most complex environments in medicine. No other company has done this longer or gone deeper. Today, AI is accelerating both sides of that work — inside our product and engineering teams, and for the clinical users we serve. Our engineering team treats AI coding assistants as standard development tools, not experiments. LiveData was selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2025, its sixth consecutive year on the list. We are hiring a Product Owner to serve as the primary product voice for our largest government customer — a federal health system operating more than 100 hospitals nationwide. This role sits at the intersection of complex enterprise requirements, formal customer governance, and agile delivery. You will translate what a system of this scale needs into clear, prioritized product requirements and ensure LiveData delivers on those commitments with consistency and clinical credibility. You will participate in the customer’s formal governance processes — including the user group and change control board — while building day-to-day working relationships with clinical staff and program offices that surface what the system actually needs. This role involves up to 25% travel to federal medical centers and program offices. You will use Claude CoWork, Claude Code, and generative AI tools to prepare for stakeholder sessions, analyze requirements, and reduce administrative overhead so more of your time stays focused on the customer.
