Provide guidance, mentorship, and career development support to junior product staff, fostering a culture of experimentation, learning, and high performance.
• Market Intelligence & Thought Leadership: Stay abreast of emerging standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7, SMART on FHIR), competitive offerings, and policy changes.
