Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.

Role Overview

athenahealth is building an AI-first future for healthcare-and our data platform is foundational to making that future real. We are seeking an Executive Director to lead product strategy and execution for our Data & Analytics Platform, a critical capability that powers analytics, intelligence, and AI across the athenahealth ecosystem.

This role owns the product vision and outcomes for how data is ingested, modeled, governed, and activated-supporting everything from real-time analytics and observability to embedded intelligence, customer insights, and commercial data products. Reporting to the VP of Product Management, Data & Ecosystem Platform, this leader operates at executive altitude with responsibility for platform strategy, product leadership, and cross-company impact.

Key Responsibilities

* Own the end-to-end product strategy for athenahealth's Data & Analytics Platform, spanning data ingestion, pipelines, storage, analytics, and customer-facing reporting.

* Define and evolve a modern data platform architecture that supports scale, reliability, trust, and regulatory-safe reuse in a healthcare environment.

* Lead product strategy for enterprise data warehouse / lakehouse capabilities, including batch and streaming pipelines, large-scale data migrations, and imports.

* Drive platform enablement for AI-first product development, including real-time data access, feature availability, feedback loops, and observability.

* Establish and evolve semantic layers, metrics frameworks, and analytics platforms that enable consistent, trusted insight across products and customers.

* Own the vision for customer-facing analytics and reporting experiences, ensuring they are actionable, intuitive, and embedded in workflows.

* Enable real world evidence use cases through reusable, governed, high-quality de-identified data assets.

* Set clear outcomes for platform adoption, product velocity, customer impact, and business value, not just technical delivery.

* Build and lead high-performing product teams, developing senior talent and setting a strong culture of accountability and clarity.

Leadership & Collaboration

* Partner closely with Engineering leadership to align product strategy with architectural decisions and execution realities.

* Act as a trusted peer to AI/ML leaders, shaping how data platforms accelerate copilots, agents, and embedded intelligence.

* Collaborate with Product, UX, and GTM leaders to ensure data and analytics capabilities are differentiated, consumable, and valuable to customers.

* Operate effectively with executive stakeholders, influencing roadmap priorities, investment decisions, and long-term strategy.

* Serve as a visible leader across athenahealth, translating complex platform concepts into clear, outcome-oriented narratives.

Qualifications & Experience

* Proven experience leading large-scale data or analytics platforms as a senior product executive.

* Deep fluency in modern data platform concepts, including lakehouse architectures, streaming data, semantic modeling, and platform enablement.

* Strong point of view on AI-first product strategy and the role data platforms play in accelerating intelligence at scale.

* Demonstrated ability to operate across infrastructure-adjacent platforms and user-facing products.

* Track record of building and leading senior product teams with high standards for execution and impact.

* Experience in healthcare, regulated industries, or complex enterprise environments is a strong plus-but not required.
