Policy Data, Tracking, and Product Lead

The Policy Data, Tracking, and Product Lead serves as the functional product owner for OPTN policy-tracking tools, dashboards, and related workflows. The role translates the needs of HRSA, the OPTN Board, committees, and CVP policy staff into clear requirements for a small SharePoint development team. 

This is a functional and analytical leadership role, not a software-development position. The Lead is responsible for ensuring that the tools solve the correct business problems, use accurate information, and provide meaningful visibility into policy development, implementation, monitoring, and costs. 

• Serve as product owner for the Policy Tracking Tool and related OPTN360 dashboards and workflows. 
• Gather and translate stakeholder needs into requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and development priorities. 
• Manage the product backlog and coordinate work with SharePoint, Power Platform, and dashboard developers. 
• Define and maintain policy lifecycle stages, statuses, milestones, ownership fields, metrics, and business rules. 
• Maintain the data dictionary, requirements documentation, and reporting definitions.
• Coordinate user testing, validate completed work, document feedback, and support release decisions.
• Ensure dashboards and tools are accurate, usable, accessible, and appropriate for HRSA, Board, committee, and public audiences. 
• Support implementation and post-implementation monitoring requirements within the Policy Tracking Tool. 
• Help committee staff clarify the purpose, scope, and decision need behind data requests. 
• Coordinate committee data requests with HRSA Data and Analytics and the appropriate analytics contractor. 
• Participate in weekly coordination with the HRSA Data and Analytics team. 
• Track data-request status, assumptions, dependencies, responsible parties, and expected completion dates. 
• Prepare descriptive summaries and committee-ready materials using approved data. 
• Identify data-quality concerns, reporting gaps, development risks, and matters requiring HRSA direction. 
• Support training, adoption, governance, and ongoing improvement of the tools. 

• Four to eight years of experience in healthcare analytics, health services research, quality measurement, policy analysis, or a similarly regulated healthcare environment.
• Working knowledge of OPTN data, terminology, forms, allocation processes, policy development, and reporting limitations. 
• Experience serving as a product owner, business analyst, data analyst, or functional lead. 
• Experience developing requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, data dictionaries, and testing plans. 
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, or comparable platforms. 
• Experience developing dashboards, tracking tools, metrics, and executive-level reporting. 
• Strong stakeholder facilitation, documentation, analytical thinking, and communication skills. 
• Ability to translate complex policy and operational needs into practical technical requirements. 
• Experience coordinating work across government staff, contractors, developers, analysts, and subject-matter experts. 
• Bachelor’s degree in public health, health informatics, statistics, data analytics, health services research, healthcare administration, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.

Desired Skills

• Familiarity with OPTN or SRTR data, reports, terminology, and data definitions.
• Experience supporting committees, workgroups, quality-improvement teams, or other multi-stakeholder decision-making bodies.
• Experience coordinating complex data requests across multiple organizations, contractors, or federal stakeholders.
• Familiarity with the OPTN policy lifecycle, committee structure, and post-implementation monitoring.
• Familiarity with healthcare data governance, privacy, security, and accessibility requirements.
