Job Description
Clover Health is reinventing the health insurance industry by combining human empathy with custom data and analytics software to help clinical staff deliver personalized care. The organization is hiring a Director of Product, Clover R&D to build and lead a brand-new product function within its research and development division. This role reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer and encompasses responsibilities spanning corporate technology, care services, and health plans.
This position functions as a player-coach capacity where you will directly tackle challenging product inquiries while mentoring and expanding a compact, flat team composed of embedded product operations staff and product managers. Assignments generally involve addressing defined outcomes via repeated testing and research, alongside senior-level projects that require evaluating ambiguous scenarios to determine subsequent initiatives. You will work closely with engineering teams that possess end-to-end technical execution and user interaction capabilities, and you will collaborate with operating owners, clinical leaders, and cross-functional product counterparts.
Successful candidates will apply artificial intelligence extensively for prototyping, testing, and brainstorming, and will evaluate solutions to scale promising experiments into active production environments. Initial objectives within the first 90 days include grasping operational and member journeys, choosing targeted missions alongside engineering and business partners, and personally moving a complex product question forward. By the six-month mark, product managers are expected to independently drive their assigned missions while shipped iterations tangibly boost member experience, unit economics, or operational efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Build, hire, and develop a small product team while providing direct coaching on measurement, research, and feedback.
- Cultivate a product and engineering culture that prioritizes incremental progress, clear communication, and AI-forward productivity.
- Examine clinical operations and plan member journeys by reviewing interactions, data, and observations to connect technology challenges to user needs.
- Partner with engineering and business stakeholders to select focused product missions tailored to uncertainty levels.
- Investigate ambiguous opportunities firsthand to establish clear problem definitions, value evidence, plausible approaches, and early delivery milestones.
- Create and manage an embedded Product Operations function linking testing, training, adoption, and frontline observation to product strategies.
- Collaborate closely with operating owners, clinical leaders, and Special Project Leads to ensure clear ownership across shared capabilities.
- Utilize artificial intelligence to examine ideas, construct and test prototypes, and execute bounded experiments.
- Transition promising experiments into production alongside engineering teams and operating owners.
Requirements
- Experience leading and developing product managers while remaining actively involved in difficult product choices, prioritization, and discovery.
- Background in building or substantially shaping a product function from a small team with an evolving scope.
- Demonstrated ability to improve products utilized in real operational workflows by connecting business economics, human work, software, and adoption.
- Heavy utilization of artificial intelligence in personal work with strong hypotheses regarding its future and practical understanding of limits and capabilities.
- Technical fluency encompassing data, systems, APIs, and AI behavior.
- Capacity to independently build and test prototypes and run bounded experiments leveraging AI.
- Ability to comprehend the architectural implications of designed products.
- Skilled at making decisions via experiments, data, and research while distinguishing observations from actionable evidence.
- Experience collaborating effectively with independent engineers and business-owning operating leaders.
