Principal Product Manager, Contract Management

This role owns the strategy and roadmap for the products hospitals and health systems use to load, model, and monitor their payer contracts — ensuring reimbursement is calculated accurately, underpayments are caught, and contract terms are applied correctly across the revenue cycle. You’ll own discovery and strategy for the most significant, often multi-threaded opportunities in this space, guide the organization’s largest or most complex engineering teams and bets, and set the standard other Billing Office product managers look to for contract-modeling rigor, requirements quality, and launch excellence. Location At Experian, we believe great work happens when people come together.
