Product Owner, Healthcare Workforce Management

Job Title :  Product Owner, Healthcare Workforce Management (Scheduling & Attendance)

Location :  Airmont, NY (Onsite preferred; hybrid considered for the right candidate)

About the Role

At Empeon, we’re building a best-in-class HCM platform tailored to the healthcare market. We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Product Owner to lead the continued growth of our  Scheduling  and  Attendance  modules, focused on solving operational and compliance challenges for healthcare providers — particularly  skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)  and long-term care organizations.

You will own the  full product lifecycle  for both modules — from vision to delivery — helping to shape intuitive and compliant solutions that meet the complex staffing and labor management needs of healthcare providers. This role requires someone who can define the roadmap, prioritize features, and stay on top of Workforce management tech trends and competitors to ensure we are delivering a leading-edge product.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for both Scheduling and Attendance products.
• Evaluate current solutions and lead efforts to enhance, optimize, and expand capabilities.
• Gather and prioritize healthcare-specific requirements, with a focus on SNF and long-term care.
• Stay current on healthcare labor regulations (PBJ, staffing ratios, overtime rules) to ensure compliance.
• Conduct market and competitor research to identify trends and customer needs.
• Collaborate with Business Analysts, UX / UI, engineering, and client-facing teams to drive delivery.
• Engage directly with clients to gather feedback and translate it into actionable improvements.
• Guide BAs on user story development to ensure alignment with the product vision.
