Lead Product Owner / Business Integration Lead (Prior Authorization)
Location/Work model: 100% Remote (must work Eastern Time core hours)
Type: Contract (~7 months, Possible extension)
Compensation: $72/HR

About the role
We’re looking for a Lead Product Owner / Business Integration Lead to stabilize and improve end-to-end Prior Authorization (PA) operations and the supporting technology/process integrations. This is a true hybrid role (Product Owner + Business Integration Lead) focused on fixing real breakdowns in the PA-to-claims flow—identifying failure points, driving corrective action, and delivering improvements that impact accuracy, turnaround time, and provider experience.
This role is ideal for someone who has deep payer-side PA domain expertise and can confidently partner across clinical, IT, claims, and operations to drive solutions through to completion.

Must-have systems/standards:
  • FACETS (including claims-to-operations “matching”)
  • GuidingCare (especially downstream workflow after the authorization leaves GuidingCare)
  • EDI 278
What you’ll do (Day-to-day)
  • Own end-to-end Prior Authorization (PA) program delivery across clinical, technical, and operational teams.
  • Lead requirements work: gather, document, validate, and manage functional/non-functional requirements, translating them into user stories and acceptance criteria.
  • Drive cross-functional execution across multiple workstreams: stakeholder workshops, design reviews, issue triage, and delivery planning.
  • Identify and resolve breakdowns/errors in the PA/claims process—pinpoint fail points and implement fixes/workarounds with clinical + IT teams.
  • Lead UAT planning and execution: test plans, defect documentation, coordination of fixes, and release readiness.
  • Track and improve PA performance metrics (e.g., turnaround time, denials, provider friction, auto-decision rates).
  • Support change communications/training and provide guidance to other analysts.
Must-Haves (Required)
Domain / Experience
  • Deep end-to-end Prior Authorization expertise (not just general “healthcare IT”).
  • 15+ years in payer operations / healthcare delivery / utilization management / PA programs.
  • 8–10+ years operating as a Product Owner (or equivalent end-to-end product delivery lead) in a payer/healthcare environment.
  • Proven ability to lead large, cross-functional, multi-workstream initiatives and drive outcomes to closure.
  • Strong skills in requirements, stakeholder management, process/systems analysis, issue management, and executive-ready communication.
Systems / Workflow Knowledge (must be able to speak to the flow end-to-end)
  • FACETS: working knowledge of claims-to-operations “matching” and how PA/claims flow connects downstream (this is emphasized as critical).
  • GuidingCare: working knowledge, especially what happens after the authorization leaves GuidingCare.
  • EDI 278 experience/knowledge.
Nice-to-Haves (Preferred)
  • MBA (Bachelor’s required or equivalent additional relevant experience).
  • Prior experience helping drive a “task force” / stabilization effort where there are ongoing errors and high-visibility corrective actions.
Education
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management/Finance (or related) or equivalent experience
  • MBA preferred
Quick “Must-Have Keywords” (for screening/search)
Prior Authorization (PA) | Utilization Management | Product Owner | Business Integration | FACETS | Claims matching | GuidingCare | EDI 278 | UAT | Requirements | User stories | Acceptance criteria
