Product Manager
About Paytient:
We’re on a mission to help people better access and afford care.
Most Americans have health insurance today, but increasingly high deductibles mean far too many Americans face the painful choice between physical and financial health if they get sick or injured. We partner with thoughtful employers, payers, and local health systems to turn patients into Paytients — people empowered to care for their families. Paytient offers a card that is not a loan or another Buy Now Pay Later option. It’s a sponsored, interest-free line of credit that we call a Health Payment Account (HPA). It works alongside HDHPs, HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, and other health benefits to make it easier to pay for care.
We’re a 75-person team of world-class technologists, healthcare experts, and benefits leaders. As we grow, we’re looking for passionate, collaborative builders to join our team and help us further our mission. Our “remote with roots” model allows us to work where we thrive and gather as needed, often in our home office in Columbia, Missouri.
About The Role:
Paytient is looking for a Product Manager who is passionate about the power of Paytient's platform and mission to help remove cost as a barrier to care.
