Hi Jen,

I'm on the product strategy team at athenahealth, and we are currently looking for a Product Strategy Associate to join our team.  Athena really likes to hire smart, engaged, curious people - industry experience is rarely an important factor in hiring.  This position is appropriate for somebody with a few years of work experience, though we will also consider less experience.

Athenahealth is growing at 30% a year, so there are lots of other job opportunities too.  Anybody interested in the Product Strategy Associate position or any of the other positions posted on our website who would like to learn more about the company is welcome to contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.  Most of the positions are located in Watertown, MA.
