Principal Product Manager (Technology)

DaVita Kidney Care is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead product strategy and execution for its Corporate Systems and Atlas Digital Transformation platforms. The role will drive discovery, roadmap development, cross-functional delivery, governance, investment planning, and measurable improvements to enterprise operations and the teammate experience.

Responsibilities:

• Set a clear product vision and strategy for Corporate Systems within the Atlas ecosystem, aligned to business Multi-Year Objectives (MYOs) and measurable Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
• Build and maintain a transparent roadmap connecting enterprise business lane goals to prioritized product work (what we will do—and what we won’t do)
• Define success metrics, establish measurement plans, and leverage data and continuous user feedback to calibrate priorities over time
• Partner with UX/Design, engineering, and corporate business stakeholders to deeply understand user workflows, operational pain points, and systemic root causes (moving beyond reactive feature requests to true problem discovery)
• Run discovery activities including end-user shadowing, workflow observation, journey mapping, hypothesis testing, and rapid validation experiments
• Facilitate structured working sessions and design workshops that produce clear decisions, trade-offs, and actionable delivery plans
• Build strong, trusted relationships across corporate business leadership and adjacent partners (including IT/Engineering, Architecture, Finance, People Services, Legal, Compliance, and Change Management)
• Bring an "outside-in" perspective—industry best practices, modern product thinking, and user empathy—to help leaders solve the most impactful strategic problems, not just the loudest ones
• Create clarity in ambiguous spaces: align stakeholders on the "why," define what good looks like, and drive consensus and decision-making forward
• Partner with engineering, solutions architecture, integration teams, and external technology vendors to translate validated problems into clear product requirements, user stories, sequencing, and delivery roadmaps
• Own backlog prioritization and trade-offs, keeping delivery squads focused on measurable business outcomes rather than output volume
• Lead end-to-end launch readiness: change enablement, operational job aids/training, rollout communications, feedback loops, and post-launch adoption measurement
• Manage product operating rhythms: quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, portfolio progress reporting, and executive steering updates
• Lead investment and value conversations for your product area, including business case development, benefit sizing, capacity alignment, and trade-off analysis

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in product management (or closely related product leadership), including substantial experience leading product discovery and delivering meaningful enterprise product outcomes
• Strong track record of partnering with cross-functional business leaders and technical teams to translate complex business problems into high-impact digital solutions
• Demonstrated strength in problem framing, prioritization, stakeholder management, executive influence, and clear communication
• Proven experience designing and facilitating structured working sessions, journey mapping, and workshops that yield actionable decisions
• Experience with enterprise packaged applications, SaaS platforms, and corporate systems ecosystems (e.g., Workday, Salesforce, Oracle/ERP platforms, ServiceNow, or similar enterprise tools)
• Experience leading product strategy and modernization within large-scale digital transformation initiatives
• Experience operating in complex, highly regulated environments where data privacy, risk management, and compliance governance matter
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
