Job Description
Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.
Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.
Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.
At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.
The Job
The Sr. Product Owner partners with the Enrollment \& Billing Department to deliver technology and process capabilities that support CMS-driven requirements, operational excellence, and improved compliance oversight. Serving as the voice of the business within an Agile team, the Product Owner aligns stakeholders on outcomes, translates needs into clear and actionable features and user stories, and owns prioritization of the team’s backlog to maximize value delivered. This role operates within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Agile Release Train (ART) and collaborates closely with Product Management, Scrum Masters, architects, and delivery teams to plan, execute, and continuously improve solutions.
You Will
- Product Strategy \& Outcomes: Partner with Enrollment \& Billing leadership and Product Management to shape the product vision, define desired outcomes, and translate CMS-driven requirements and operational priorities into a clear, value-focused roadmap for the team.
- Backlog Ownership \& Prioritization: Own and manage the team backlog, ensuring features and user stories are well-defined, appropriately sized, and prioritized to maximize value. Define clear acceptance criteria and ensure shared understanding of what “done” means.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and the Agile team; elicit needs, reconcile competing priorities, and communicate decisions, scope, and tradeoffs to ensure alignment on goals and delivery expectations.
- Requirements \& Solution Definition: Translate business processes and regulatory needs into epics/features/stories and support documentation (e.g., workflows, functional requirements).
- Collaborate with architects, analysts, and vendors to clarify scope and drive a shared solution approach.
- Sprint Execution Support: Participate in Agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, daily coordination as needed, review, and retrospective). Answer questions quickly, refine stories as learning evolves, and remove ambiguity so the team can deliver predictably.
- Acceptance, UAT \& Readiness: Lead business acceptance by defining acceptance criteria, coordinating UAT with business partners and vendors, and verifying delivered functionality meets regulatory, quality, and operational requirements prior to release.
- Compliance \& Governance: Ensure backlog and delivered capabilities support state and federal requirements (including CMS) and internal controls; partner with compliance, operations, and technology teams to address gaps and support audits and oversight needs.
- Value \& Performance Measurement: Define and monitor key metrics (e.g., accuracy, cycle time, compliance outcomes, member/provider impacts). Use data and stakeholder feedback to inform prioritization and continuous improvement.
- SAFe PI Planning \& ART Alignment: Participate in PI planning to define and prioritize features/enablers, align sprint goals to ART objectives, and coordinate dependencies across teams. Communicate progress and outcomes during PI and sprint reviews.
- Change Management \& Enablement: Partner with operations, training, and support teams to ensure successful adoption of new capabilities, including communications, job aids, process updates, and post-release stabilization.
- We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.
- Actively support the achievement of SCAN’s Vision and Goals.
- Other duties as assigned.
