[Remote] Product Owner/Product Manager
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Dice is seeking a Product Owner/Product Manager to lead the strategy and delivery of voice-based Conversational AI for call center virtual assistants in a healthcare payer environment. The role involves owning the roadmap for an AI-driven voice experience that enhances member and provider satisfaction while adhering to regulatory requirements.
Responsibilities
- Own product vision and roadmap for a voice virtual assistant supporting payer call center intents (benefits, claims status, eligibility, prior auth status, ID card, pharmacy benefits, find care/provider)
- Prioritize initiatives across containment/deflection, intelligent routing, authentication, and agent handoff with context transfer
- Build business cases using contact center KPIs and measurable ROI
- Define where and how to use LLMs safely and effectively (e.g., intent understanding, entity extraction, summarization, guided dialog, knowledge Q&A via RAG)
- Drive implementation choices and guardrails: RAG vs fine-tuning vs prompt-only approaches Tool/function calling patterns to complete transactions (claims lookups, benefit checks) Grounding, citation/traceability patterns (where required), and hallucination mitigation
- Establish evaluation methods for LLM features (offline test sets + online monitoring), including quality, safety, and latency targets
- Partner with engineering/ML to define and optimize the voice stack: STT/ASR accuracy targets (WER), domain vocabulary tuning (payer terminology, drug names, provider names), noise handling, barge-in behavior TTS voice quality, prosody, pronunciation dictionaries, multilingual considerations (if applicable)
- Speech-to-speech / real-time voice agents: latency budgets, streaming audio, turn-taking, interruption handling, and naturalness
- Own requirements for low-latency voice interactions and establish SLAs (e.g., time-to-first-response, end-to-end turn latency)
- Translate payer workflows into conversational capabilities with clear user stories, and acceptance criteria
- Lead cross-functional delivery with engineering, data science, conversational design, QA, analytics, security, and vendor partners
- Drive integration with contact center platforms (e.g., Genesys, Amazon Connect) and core payer systems (CRM, claims, eligibility, provider data, prior auth)
- Ensure HIPAA/PHI-compliant design: data minimization, secure handling, retention policies, audit logs, redaction, and access controls
- Define escalation and safe-completion patterns for sensitive scenarios (grievances/appeals, clinical-like questions, potential vulnerability)
- Partner with Compliance/Legal on user disclosures, consent, and governance for generative experiences
- Own KPIs and monitoring: Containment/deflection, AHT impact, transfer rate/quality, task completion, CSAT STT: WER, no-match rates, latency NLU/LLM: intent accuracy, entity accuracy, grounded answer rate, safety flags, fallback rate
- Establish an ongoing tuning program: utterance expansion, prompt/knowledge updates, pronunciation and language model updates, regression testing
Skills
- 5+ years in Product Management/Product Ownership, with 2+ years in Conversational AI / voice bots / IVR modernization
- Strong healthcare payer experience (member/provider services; benefits, claims, eligibility, authorizations)
- Demonstrated product experience with: LLMs
- Business Analysis
