Senior Product Manager - Fraud and Abuse Detection - Payment Integrity - Remote -
Optum Insight is improving the flow of health data and information to create a more connected system. We remove friction and drive alignment between care providers and payers, and ultimately consumers. Our deep expertise in the industry and innovative technology empower us to help organizations reduce costs while improving risk management, quality and revenue growth. Ready to help us deliver results that improve lives? Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.
The Senior Product Manager is a strategic product leader responsible for defining and executing the product strategy for one of Optum Payment Integrity’s Intelligent Fraud Detection products. This role offers the opportunity to take an early-stage product from pilot to scale, shaping the product strategy, commercialization path, and broader market launch.
Optum Payment Integrity helps health plans and healthcare organizations ensure claims are paid accurately and fairly, reducing unnecessary medical spend across the full claim lifecycle through a combination of advanced analytics, AI, and deep healthcare reimbursement expertise. You will own the product vision, roadmap, and performance ensuring the product delivers measurable client value, scales effectively, and remains differentiated in the market.
Why this role
Build it, don't inherit it. This is a genuine pilot-to-scale opportunity. The decisions you make on strategy, packaging, and go-to-market won't refine an existing playbook - they'll write it
Fight fraud at industry scale. You'll apply data science, network analytics, and machine learning to uncover emerging fraud patterns and turn them into detection capabilities and workflows that protect payers and the healthcare system
Own the full arc - pilot to market. Few product roles let one leader shape a product from early proof through commercialization and scale. You'll have that end-to-end mandate, working alongside senior leaders across product, engineering, data science, and go-to-market
This is a high-impact role for a strategic product leader who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and market opportunity, and who is equally adept at setting vision and driving execution.
You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.

Define and monitor KPIs tied to adoption, financial performance, and client outcomes
Partner with analytics and finance teams to evaluate product ROI and inform future investments
Use data and user feedback to continuously refine strategy, features, and market positioning
Collaborate to Drive Market Growth
Partner with go-to-market, sales, and marketing teams to drive product adoption and expansion across payer clients
Support pricing, packaging, and positioning in collaboration with the Director of Product and GTM leadership
Identify and scale client-proven innovations to the broader market
Stay Ahead of Market and Industry Trends
Monitor market, regulatory, and competitive shifts to identify emerging opportunities and risks
Translate evolving market dynamics into forward-looking roadmap updates
