Ready to build the next breakthrough? Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. As the Sr. Director Technical Product Manager for the Identity Platform, you will lead the strategic vision for a massive ecosystem including HealthSafe ID and One Healthcare ID (OHID). You will drive the platform through two critical phases: managing the exponential growth and self-service evolution of our mature Human Identity business (60M+ consumers, 300M+ records) and launching the new Non-Human Identity (NHI) strategy to bind digital workers and agents to human identities. This high-profile role requires a commercial mindset to transform Tier 0 applications into a self-service model that hides complexity through thoughtful abstractions. You will lead a high-performing Technical Product Management team, defining how modern technologies like artificial intelligence reshape identity interoperability and internal delivery workflows. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.
