Overview

The Product Manager will lead the delivery of high-quality products and systems that improve the availability and use of public health data to inform decision making. This role is aligned to the Workforce Acceleration Initiative (WAI). WAI is a federally funded CDC Foundation program with the goal of helping the nation’s public health agencies by providing them with the technology and data experts they need to accelerate their information system improvements.

Working in the Marin County Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Division, the Product Manager will help increase the public health agency’s capacity to build the modern systems, tools and technology they need to address public health needs effectively. Specifically, the Product Manager will work under the Public Health Officer to serve as a data lead on the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Justice Involved Initiative (JII) team, which aims to improve the care of justice-involved Medicaid (MediCal in California) enrollees through data exchange to enable whole person care. In collaboration, this position will lead creation of a data strategy plan, guide technology procurement, and create a roadmap / implementation plan for data systems and data exchange to support the CalAIM JII in Marin County. The data landscape will include adoption of an EHR, participation in our newly adopted HIE, and identification and adoption of a system for referral and care coordination between justice system collaborators, and physical health, behavioral health, and social services providers.

This role is best for someone who is mission driven and is comfortable bringing a product mindset to organizations who may be unfamiliar with this approach.

The Product Manager will be hired by the CDC Foundation and assigned to the Marin County Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Division. This position is eligible for a fully remote work arrangement for U.S. based candidates.
