- Communicate release scope, timelines, and risks to stakeholders across engineering, compliance, and partner organizations.
- Manage technical projects that support bi-directional integration between oncology diagnostic systems and provider EHRs.
- Define scope, milestones, and success metrics for data exchange initiatives (lab results delivery, order entry, patient matching).
- Partner with internal and external teams to design scalable, secure, and standards-compliant interfaces.
- Oversee development and deployment of APIs and microservices supporting interoperability with major EMR/EHR vendors.
- Ensure documentation and validation artifacts support audit and regulatory readiness.

- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and clinical domains.
- Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, particularly around data integrity and compliance documentation.
