About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Independently lead complex healthcare programs from customer discovery and use-case definition through technical implementation, validation, production launch, and operational transition.
Partner with clinical, operational, IT, security, and executive stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, data environments, integration constraints, and success measures.
Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear program scope, requirements, milestones, ownership, dependencies, decision points, and measurable exit criteria.
Coordinate delivery across product, engineering, AI/ML, platform, infrastructure, security, legal, compliance, and customer teams.
Maintain an authoritative source of truth for plans, risks, decisions, dependencies, validation status, launch readiness, and customer commitments.
Manage dependencies involving EHR systems, customer APIs, identity and access management, clinical protocols, data access, cloud/on-premises infrastructure, and third-party systems.
Drive healthcare AI-governance readiness, including use-case registration, risk classification, validation planning, audit evidence, customer reviews, approval gates, and production sign-off.
Define and execute phased validation approaches, including de-identified testing, sandbox, shadow mode, controlled rollout, and formal production acceptance, with quality, safety, reliability, privacy, observability, and rollback criteria.
Lead customer program reviews, executive readouts, technical working sessions, governance reviews, and go-live readiness assessments.
Convert deployment lessons into reusable playbooks, onboarding checklists, validation standards, templates, and program-management mechanisms.
Surface cross-program conflicts, capacity constraints, and sequencing decisions, and drive leaders to resolution.
Set program standards, coach other program managers, and influence portfolio-level sequencing.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years of experience in technical program management, product delivery, engineering program management, healthcare implementation, or a related role.
Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional software or platform programs from ambiguous discovery through production adoption.
Experience delivering technology in healthcare, life sciences, or another highly regulated environment involving sensitive data and formal approval processes.
Experience working directly with enterprise customers and communicating effectively with engineers, product leaders, executives, operational teams, and domain experts.
Strong technical fluency across software architecture, APIs, integrations, data flows, cloud infrastructure, identity, security, testing, deployment, and production operations.
Ability to engage deeply with engineering teams, understand technical constraints, challenge assumptions, and translate engineering decisions into program and customer impact.
Experience managing programs with external dependencies, long lead-time approvals, customer-controlled systems, and competing organizational priorities.
Strong judgment in balancing delivery speed, customer value, technical quality, security, regulatory obligations, and long-term product maintainability.
Proven ability to influence decisions and drive accountability across multiple teams without relying on direct authority.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including concise executive reporting, decision documentation, risk framing, and customer-facing facilitation.
Willingness to travel periodically to customer locations for discovery, validation, governance reviews, and production launches.
Preferred: Experience delivering software or AI capabilities within health systems, academic medical centers, clinical research organizations, healthcare technology companies, or provider operations.
Preferred: Experience with EHR implementations or integrations, such as Epic or Oracle Health/Cerner.
Preferred: Familiarity with FHIR, SMART on FHIR, HL7 v2, CDS Hooks, interface engines, and healthcare APIs.
Preferred: Experience managing PHI, HIPAA, BAAs, audit logging, and customer-managed environments.
Preferred: Experience with clinical or operational AI-governance processes, model validation, human-in-the-loop workflows, shadow-mode testing, and controlled production rollout.
Preferred: Familiarity with AI agents, LLM applications, RAG, guardrails, evaluations, workflow orchestration, and model observability.
Preferred: Experience with Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, or GCP, customer-managed deployments, and secure enterprise software delivery.
Preferred: Experience managing clinical-administrative workflows such as document routing, scheduling, prescription renewal, prior authorization, in-basket management, discharge planning, or clinical research operations.
Preferred: Experience building scalable delivery processes that reduce implementation time and customer-specific engineering work across multiple deployments.
Preferred: Prior experience in a startup, forward-deployed engineering organization, professional-services environment, or other high-ownership, rapid-execution setting.
