We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Technical Project Manager to help guide the delivery of a large-scale custom software suite that includes native mobile apps, an employee web portal, and a participant-facing web application. This is a dynamic, detail-oriented role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex work, aligning teams, and driving software initiatives from concept through rollout in a regulated environment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead technical project management efforts across multiple digital products and delivery workstreams.
  • Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, dependency trackers, and resource coordination tools to keep work moving forward.
  • Partner with product, design, engineering, and operations teams to align priorities and remove blockers.
  • Communicate project status, risks, and decisions clearly to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Support end-to-end delivery of new software initiatives, including mobile and web-based solutions.
  • Help coordinate software rollout, adoption planning, and scaling efforts across internal and external user groups.
  • Create or improve implementation documentation, SOPs, and training materials to support successful adoption.
  • Work proactively to keep timelines, scope, and execution aligned in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.


Skills

  • 5–10 years of experience delivering custom software projects.
  • Background managing multiple products or platforms in a regulated environment.
  • Direct experience launching new software products from the ground up.
  • Strong understanding of software development processes, architecture, APIs, and design principles.
  • Advanced project management skills, including creating Gantt charts, multi-workstream plans, and resource tracking tools.
  • Ability to work hands-on, stay organized, and manage details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and resolve blockers effectively.


Preferred Skills

  • Experience supporting healthcare software or patient-facing digital products.
  • Familiarity with product launch metrics and post-launch KPI tracking.
  • Experience building implementation frameworks, SOPs, or training guides for software adoption.
  • Ability to support organizational change and help teams scale new tools or processes successfully.
