Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S.
Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience.
The Role
Cedar is improving the healthcare financial experience. Our technology improves the overall experience of patient billing and engagement, enabling healthcare providers to thrive in a constantly evolving environment while helping patients understand the cost of their care.
Cedar is looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Integration Framework squad. As the product lead, you will set priorities and steer product development of our integration framework, which powers the bi-directional exchange of data between the Cedar platform and our healthcare client’s source systems. You will own one of the most impactful and challenging areas of the Cedar product landscape. You will build expertise on more than just our platform, product workflows and technology; you will develop a deep understanding of our clients’ operations that both affect data upstream as well as make downstream use of the data exchanged with Cedar. Your end-to-end perspective of people, process and technology will allow you to set the course for how we integrate complex and sensitive health system data. You and your team will ensure that our patient and operational staff end users have reliable, cross-system access to accurate, up-to-date and secure information.
* Cedar is committed to a flexible work environment, so this as well as many of our other roles are remote-friendly.

About us
Cedar was co-founded by Florian Otto and Arel Lidow in 2016 after a negative medical billing experience inspired them to help improve our healthcare system. With a commitment to solving billing and patient experience issues, Cedar has become a leading healthcare technology company fueled by remarkable growth. Over the past several years, we’ve raised more than $350 million in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global, bringing Cedar’s valuation to $3.2 billion.
As of December 2023, Cedar is engaging with 25 million patients on an annualized basis, and is on target to process $2.6 billion in patient payments annually. Cedar’s ambition is to serve 50-60 million Americans by 2025, about half of the U.S. population that makes medical payments annually. Cedar partners with more than 55 leading healthcare providers and payers including Highmark Inc., Allegheny Health Network, Novant Health, Allina Health and Providence.
