About Parachute Health

Digital infrastructure for clinicians, HME providers, and health plans to accelerate DME ordering and fulfillment. Backed by Insight.

About the role

Parachute Health is building the most complete and accurate catalog of home medical equipment and supplies in the industry, and that catalog is at the heart of our entire platform. Over the last few months, a consultant improved our in-house design standards, style guide, review practices, and an early set of universal merchandising attributes. We are now hiring someone in-house to take that work over and grow it for the long term.

What they're looking for

  • Deep expertise in taxonomy, information architecture, and metadata or attribute modeling, ideally for a large, complex product catalog
  • Hands-on experience administering catalog or product information management (PIM) systems and defining data-quality standards
  • A track record of turning ambiguous catalog problems into clear requirements, and of justifying and prioritizing enhancement work against business impact
  • Strong cross-functional partnership skills, and comfort being the in-house authority who sets standards and makes the final call on catalog structure
  • Systems thinking and a bias to build durable processes, documentation, and tooling rather than one-off fixes
  • Motivated to up-level a team that is early in building these skills, and open to direct or dotted-line management as the function matures
