About Activate Care:

At Activate Care, we help Medicaid health plans reduce avoidable cost and risk by addressing the social factors that make care harder to deliver and manage. We do this through Path Assist, a model that combines locally hired teams with purpose-built technology to deliver, track, and improve social care interventions.

Our technology enables frontline teams to work effectively while giving our customers the visibility, consistency, and accountability they need. The focus of this role is on building and improving those tools, ensuring they support real-world workflows, produce usable data, and drive measurable outcomes for our customers and the communities they serve.

About the Role:

This role partners closely with engineering, design, research, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate strategy and user needs into clear, high-quality requirements and deliverables.

This is a hands-on role focused on execution. Success comes from clear ownership of requirements, a well-managed backlog, strong communication and measurable progress.

This role is execution-heavy by design, with meaningful exposure to product strategy and roadmap planning. Strategic ownership may expand over time based on experience, interest, and organizational needs. We value strong judgment, follow-through, and collaboration more than a specific title.
