Company mission
Datavant's mission is to connect the world's health data to improve patient outcomes.
Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years in technical product management, product strategy, or a similar role, ideally at a B2B health tech or health care company
- You are data-centric and have a passion for data structures and algorithms. Bonus points if you’ve tackled an enterprise-wide database product
- You are thoughtful about your work, knowing when to zoom in on details and zoom out on the bigger picture. You love understanding the reasons behind decisions and raise creative solutions in solving problems
- You are highly organized and are able to keep track of multiple threads easily. Team members are confident in a product outcome when they know you’re owning it
- You have high bandwidth and high productivity; others wonder where you find time to do all you do. Your secret is that you are quick to understand, formulate and respond
- You write exceptional documents, presentations, diagrams, and mockups. Your documentation leads to discussions about the content, not about what is intended
- You are a great communicator and have the confidence to lead planning meetings with anyone or any group within the company. You have the ability to explain strategies, rationales and products in terms that each audience can understand
- You are motivated by getting stuff done. You are wired to both set the big vision and to make continual steps towards that vision. Neither vision setting nor execution is satisfactory by itself to you - you want both
- You are a team player. You always put yourself in other’s positions and understand their motivations, needs, perspectives and potential points of confusion. You know that winning together is the best way to win
- You are proactive. You define how the product should evolve and bias to action
What the job involves
- Set the vision for your product by outlining the customer need, how we solve the problem, and how this will evolve in 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years from now
- Be customer centric by obsessing about solving the customer’s problem. You engage with customers and customer-facing teams on a daily basis and see shipping features as just one tool in your toolkit
- Be decisive by identifying current and future areas of ambiguity and providing direction along with reasoning and analysis. Others see you as a source of authority, reinforced by your exceptional judgment on a range of issues, including business, technical and organizational and an ability to articulate your perspective effectively
- Drive execution by writing great product requirements that provide clarity and motivation for what we need to build. You will be noted for your ability to generate workable solutions, avoid potholes, take good ideas from wherever they come, all anchored by a complete understanding of the systems your product touches and the ways in which they are used in practice. As part of the requirement development process, you know how to lead discussions and bring others along with you
- Drive adoption by working closely across an organization. You add value to this process by removing objections and roadblocks; you get value from this process by getting a firsthand view of how the product is received
- Be a leader through example and attitude
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Datavant’s healthcare data platform leverages AI to allow medical companies to organize, protect, match, interpret and share data for use in clinical trial decision making. Founded in 2017, they already have an impressive list of clients including Janssen, Symphony Health, Medidata and Blue Health Intelligence.
The market in which Datavant operates is booming, as global big data analytics in healthcare is forecast to be worth nearly $70 billion by 2025, up from $16 billion in 2017.
Having raised significant venture funding from Transformation Capital and notably, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, the company has since gone on to form a $7 billion merger with peer company Ciox Health. This move makes Datavant the largest health data ecosystem in the US.

Company values
- We Keep Data Human Every datapoint we touch represents a patient. We obsess over patient privacy and benefit in all decisions we make, even when it adds friction.
- We Are Customer Obsessed We listen to our customers' current needs, anticipate their future needs, and set the pace for the possible. Today’s awesome is tomorrow’s average.
- We Operate Like Owners We demonstrate unmatched accountability and follow-through. We lead with “how might we” rather than “we can’t.” We raise a hand when there is no clear owner and embrace a “no job too big, no job too small” mindset to win together.
- We Prioritize Growth Over Comfort Growth happens outside our comfort zone. We embrace ambition, strive for exceptionalism, and see feedback as a gift. We invest boldly to grow each other, our network, and our impact on healthcare.
- We Value Time As Our Most Prized Asset We respect team and customer time by simplifying steps, knowing when done is better than perfect, and never being the bottleneck. We speak truthfully and openly so information travels fast.
