Ireland Optum Full time

Optum is a global organization that delivers care, aided by technology to help millions of people live healthier lives.

Here, you will find a culture guided by diversity and inclusion, talented peers, comprehensive benefits and career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health equity on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. 

About the Role:

At UnitedHealth Group and Optum, we want to make healthcare work better for everyone. This depends on hiring the best and brightest. With a thriving ecosystem of investment and innovation, our business in Ireland is constantly growing to support the healthcare needs of the future. 
Our teams are at the forefront of building and adapting the latest technologies to propel healthcare forward in a way that better serves everyone. With our hands at work across all aspects of health, we use the most advanced development tools, AI, data science and innovative approaches to make the healthcare system work better for everyone. 

Todays' RCM is inherently complex due to opaque and payer-specific adjudication rules, incurring significant waste and inefficiency. Optum Insight is committed to delivering new technology and processes to improve the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) workflow using advances in Gen AI and other state-of-the-art technology that would ultimately benefit all stakeholders involved in the healthcare ecosystem — payers, providers, and patients.


The  Lead Technical Product Owner  will lead the strategic direction, development, and ongoing management of technical products (as aligned to our prioritized business product roadmap and our Technology Roadmap), ensuring they align to business goals, fulfill market needs and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

o Lead daily stand-up meeting

3. Technical Expertise:
o Stay abreast of technological advancements and industry trends to inform product development.
o Understand complex technical issues and facilitate problem-solving discussions.
o Ensure the product adheres to technical, security, and regulatory standards.

4. Data-Driven Decision Making:
o Use data and analytics to inform product decisions and measure success.
o Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for the product.

5. Stakeholder Engagement:
o Act as the primary liaison between the Technology team and business stakeholders.
o Gather and analyze feedback from stakeholders to inform product decisions.
o Communicate progress and challenges to stakeholders at regular intervals.

6. Agile and Process Improvement:
o Champion Agile methodologies and continuous improvement within the tech product team.
o Facilitate sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups.
o Monitor and report on product performance, using data to drive decisions.

7. Risk Management and Quality Assurance:
o Identify and mitigate risks throughout the product development process.

We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalised groups and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes — an enterprise priority reflected in our mission.

Diversity creates a healthier atmosphere: Optum is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age, race, and membership of the Traveller community, or any other characteristic protected by law.
