Head of Platform Services & UX (Epic/MyChart Integrations Required)

The Operator Who Turns Digital Care Into a Reliable, Scalable Experience

Do you see architecture where others see friction? Do you instinctively map Epic workflows, identity flows, and integration boundaries before discussing features? Have you ever walked into a MyChart implementation and thought, ‘I know exactly how this should be structured’?

At Ovatient, we are building a virtual-first care model that works because the platform works — reliably, seamlessly, and at scale across health systems and employer partners. We are not building another digital front door. We are building a Digital Health Home™ embedded within Epic — deeply integrated with health systems and employer partners.

As we scale, the strength and clarity of our platform services and user experience will determine our success. This role owns that future.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Head of Platform Services & User Experience to own the digital backbone of our patient and clinical experience.

This is structured platform ownership with operational accountability.

You will own the digital experience, integration architecture, platform reliability, and implementation mechanics that allow Ovatient to scale predictably across partners. This is a “both-and” leadership role–you will define architecture and roadmap while also rolling up your sleeves to drive implementations, triage platform issues, and stabilize operations as we grow. Until additional layers are built, you will operate both strategically and tactically.

You will work in close partnership with the CMIO, who owns clinical governance and safety, while you own platform design, technical execution, and operational reliability.

If you are energized by turning digital complexity into operational clarity and building systems that seamlessly and reliably work, we should talk.

What You’ll Own

Digital Product Ownership – Patient & Clinical UX
This includes both patient-facing experiences and internal operational tools that support clinical and care delivery teams as well as owning the end-to-end digital experience across MyChart, Digital Health Home™ / MyCare Anywhere™, and Employer partner deployments, including:

• Experience onboarding enterprise healthcare customers
• Strong documentation and process discipline
• Proven ability to translate technical architecture into executive-ready clarity
• Experience influencing vendors and cross-system stakeholders
• Comfort operating without layers and moving between executive strategy and tactical execution

Skills & Attributes

• Systems thinker who sees patterns beyond tickets
• Operator-builder who stabilizes today while structuring tomorrow
• Skilled executive communicator able to translate complex infrastructure concepts into actionable insights for tech and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable with accountability
• Low-ego, high-discipline collaborator who deftly navigates healthcare legacy systems to drive process improvements alongside strategic partners
• Thrives in complexity and growth environments

Why You’ll Love Working Here
