Senior Manager of Product Line

Background:

The healthcare industry faces many problems &ndash and affordability, substandard customer service and inconsistency in care quality. Governments and employers struggle with paying for health coverage and, in turn, have shifted more of the financial burden of care to consumers, who are equally unprepared to afford it. The healthcare industry is not designed around the consumer needs, leading to a subpar service experience that has eroded trust with them. Despite encouraging improvements in treatment innovation, the delivery of care is inconsistent, resulting in variations in the quality of care that further compound these problems. We must reimagine a system that is built around the needs of the people we serve with high-value solutions to these pain points.

Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) is building a consumer-focused strategy to solve these problems. We are innovating products and services as a part of a new Consumer Products business, an internal startup within the health system. The team will innovate and develop new products and market them to consumers through multiple channels. Our initial products will focus on: coaching for chronic illness, navigation, urgent care, and centers of excellence for specialty care.

The Consumer Products business is comprised of three groups &ndash Strategy, Product and Customers. We are looking for people to join this exciting new team who are passionate problem solvers that want to develop a new paradigm to transform how consumers are served.
