Sr. Project Manager (San Diego,CA)

About Rhapsody: 
Healthcare is innovating fast and AI is accelerating the pace. But AI is only as good as the data it can securely access. Today, moving data between providers, payers, and digital health innovators is still harder than it should be, and inconsistent data quality creates risk, rework, and stalled initiatives.

Our mission is to accelerate innovation by reducing the burden of data access and data quality so teams can build, deploy, and scale solutions with confidence. Rhapsody provides behind-the-scenes interoperability and data quality foundation that helps information move reliably between systems, across formats, and at the speed modern healthcare demands.

Most people won’t ever see our products during a medical visit (that’s infrastructure). Think of Rhapsody as the connective tissue and increasingly, the “data readiness” layer that enables digital transformation, analytics, and AI initiatives by making data accessible, trustworthy, and actionable.
