Experience: 7+ Years

Notice Period: Immediate Joiners

Job Type: Permanent

Job Location: Hyderabad

About the Role:

We are seeking a strategic and highly collaborative Product Owner with deep domain expertise in US-based employee benefits, including healthcare (medical, dental, vision), welfare benefits, life plans, and fringe benefit administration. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of leading product lifecycles from vision to delivery, working closely with engineering, QA, design, and business stakeholders to build scalable, compliant, and user-centric benefits platforms.

This role is critical in shaping the future of digital benefits experiences for enterprise clients across healthcare, insurance, and HR tech. You will be responsible for defining product strategy, prioritising backlogs, and ensuring delivery of high-impact features that drive employee engagement, compliance, and retention.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the product vision and roadmap for healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision), welfare plans, life insurance, and fringe benefit platforms across SaaS and cloud-based solutions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders (HR, Payroll, Compliance, Carriers) to gather, refine, and prioritize business requirements for benefits enrollment, eligibility, account management, and claims processing.
• Lead the creation and maintenance of user stories, acceptance criteria, and product specifications for complex benefits workflows (e.g., open enrollment, carrier integrations, EDI 843, HSA/FSA/HRA management).
• Partner with engineering and QA teams to ensure high-quality, secure, and compliant delivery of benefits features, adhering to standards like HIPAA, HITECH, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, 21CFR 312.70, and state-specific laws (e.g., Massachusetts Chapter 93H).
• Drive automation and process optimization in benefits administration (e.g., automated onboarding, validation frameworks, test harnesses) to reduce manual effort and accelerate time-to-market.
• Champion end-to-end user experience across employee portals, admin dashboards, and carrier integrations — ensuring intuitive, accessible, and inclusive design.
• Work closely with Sales, Delivery, and Client Success teams to ensure product-market fit, smooth onboarding, and post-launch adoption.
• Leverage data and feedback to continuously improve product performance, usability, and ROI for enterprise clients.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in product ownership, product management, or benefits administration within US healthcare, insurance, or HR tech.
• Deep understanding of healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision), life plans, welfare benefits, and fringe benefit programs.
• Experience working with cloud-based benefits platforms (e.g., ADP, Benefitfocus, Workday, Salesforce, or custom SaaS solutions).
• Proven ability to manage complex product backlogs, prioritize features using frameworks like Kanban, Scrum, or SAFe, and deliver in agile environments.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — able to translate business needs into technical requirements and vice versa.
• Familiarity with EDI 843, file transformations, payroll integrations, carrier interfaces, and eligibility systems.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar product management tools.
• Knowledge of compliance standards (HIPAA, ISO 27001/27701, GDPR, CCPA) is essential.
