Job Title: Chief Product Officer

Supervisor: President

Required License(s)/ Certification(s): None Required

FLSA Status: Exempt

Role Summary:

The Chief Product Officer (CPO) is a core member of the executive leadership team and is accountable for defining, evolving, and monetizing Apex Health’s product portfolio across analytics, strategic advisory services, and platform-enabled offerings. Reporting directly to the President, the CPO owns the end-to-end product value proposition—from market insight and assessment through program design and scalable product adoption.

This role serves as the architect of how Apex creates, proves, and scales value for health system and physician network clients, particularly within long-cycle enterprise sales environments. The CPO ensures that Apex’s analytics capabilities, advisory services, and product offerings are cohesive, repeatable, and commercially viable, while clearly delineating product definition and value realization from operational fulfillment.

The ideal candidate brings deep healthcare domain expertise, strong healthcare analytics experience, and executive-level product leadership, paired with the ability to translate complex healthcare challenges into differentiated, scalable solutions that support multi-year client relationships and sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Vision, Strategy & Portfolio Ownership

• Define and own Apex Health’s enterprise product vision and multi-year roadmap across analytics, advisory services, and platform-enabled offerings.
• Translate market needs, client pain points, and regulatory realities into clearly defined, productized offerings that drive measurable operational and financial outcomes.
• Ensure tight alignment between product strategy and corporate growth objectives, investment priorities, and go-to-market sequencing.

Analytics & Insight Leadership

• Oversee Apex’s analytics function, including data assets, measurement frameworks, and insight generation that underpin advisory services and platform value measurement.
• Ensure analytics capabilities are “industry leading” and fit the needs of Apex customers including enterprise health systems, physician networks, regional MA plans, and provider risk platforms.
• Partner with commercial and advisory teams to convert analytics into compelling ROI narratives, performance benchmarks, and decision support tools.

Strategic Advisory Services & Program Development

• Lead the design and evolution of Apex’s strategic advisory and assessment offerings, particularly those supporting “Year 1” client engagements.
• Ensure advisory services are structured, repeatable, and productized—serving as a bridge from initial engagement to scalable platform adoption.
• Oversee “Year 1” program development that translates strategic advisory engagements into Apex platform-based solutions, supporting multi-year client value realization.

Executive Partnership & Commercial Enablement

• Serve as a strategic partner to the President and executive leadership team in shaping company strategy, investment decisions, and growth initiatives.
• Support enterprise sales efforts by providing product narratives, assessment frameworks, and value propositions aligned to long and complex sales cycles.
• Represent Apex’s product and value vision with external stakeholders, including health system executives, clinical leaders, and industry partners.

Organizational Leadership & Governance

• Build, structure, and scale a high-performing product organization spanning product management, analytics, and advisory program development.
• Establish clear operating models, decision rights, and governance that distinguish product ownership from platform services delivery and Market Operations.
• Foster a culture of accountability, rigor, and continuous improvement, ensuring initiatives move from concept to measurable impact.

Scope & Operating Model Clarity:

• The CPO owns product definition, analytics, advisory services, and program design, including early-stage market-facing engagements.
• Platform implementation, ongoing service delivery, and operational fulfillment post-sale are led by Market Operations under separate executive leadership.
• The CPO is accountable for what Apex sells and how value is defined and proven; Market Operations is accountable for how it is delivered at scale.

Candidate Qualifications:

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Health Administration, Public Health, or a related field.
• MBA, Master’s in Finance, Health Policy, or a comparable advanced degree preferred.

Experience & Skills

• 10–12+ years of progressive experience in healthcare analytics, managed care, value-based care, and/or provider risk network development.
• Strong background in healthcare analytics; actuarial or advanced financial modeling experience preferred.
• Deep understanding of healthcare delivery systems, physician networks, and value-based care operating models.
• Demonstrated experience with Medicare Advantage, Medicare ACOs, and physician group contracting and alignment structures.
• Proven ability to design and scale productized advisory or transformation programs in complex healthcare environments.
• Executive-level leadership, communication, and influence skills, with the ability to align cross-functional teams around shared priorities.
• Track record of building and developing high-performing teams.
