About the role
We are seeking a Technical Project Manager to join our growing team at the intersection of information systems, software development, and operations. This role drives the delivery of web-based clinical platforms used for medical imaging review and data workflows. It requires strong technical fluency, hands-on project ownership, and the ability to operate effectively in a flexible, evolving environment. The ideal candidate will possess strong organizational and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with information systems, software development, testing, product, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, define scope, and align priorities/deliverables, ensuring smooth transitions between teams.
- Own end-to-end delivery of larger platform features and enhancements, breaking down ambiguous requests into actionable, trackable work.
- Translate business and clinical needs into clear, testable requirements and maintain supporting documentation to ensure alignment across teams.
- Organize and manage backlogs in Jira, implement lightweight sprint structures where appropriate, and create visibility into active work, risks, and timelines.
- Help transition toward more structured, milestone-driven releases, including quarterly planning and progress tracking.
- Work closely with development and DevOps to understand Git-based workflows, branching strategies, environments, and deployment processes.
- Establish clear deliverables, milestones, and flag risks early, proposing solutions when applicable while maintaining strong working relationships.
- Ensure requirements and deliverables are defined clearly enough to support testing, validation, and regulatory expectations.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5–10 years of experience in technical project management, product delivery, or similar roles.
- Experience delivering web-based platforms or complex software systems.
- Strong understanding of software development workflows, including Git-based version control, branching, environments, and release processes.
- Demonstrated experience using tools such as Jira (or similar) to manage backlogs, sprints, and delivery tracking.
- Working knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies with the ability to apply them pragmatically.
- Proven ability to drive projects—even those with loosely defined concepts—to completion.
Qualifications (Desired)
- Familiarity with validation processes or FDA-related workflows and experience in clinical systems, medical imaging, or regulated environments.
- Photography or imaging domain knowledge, or experience working with image-based systems.
- Project management certifications (PMP, CSPO, or similar).
