Job description

Software Engineering/Development: Technical Project Manager – Clinical Systems

We are seeking a Technical Project Manager – Clinical Platforms to join our growing team. This role sits at the intersection of information systems, software development, and operations, driving delivery of web‑based clinical platforms used for medical imaging review and data workflows. This role requires strong technical fluency, hands‑on project ownership, and the ability to operate effectively in a flexible, evolving environment. The right candidate will possess strong organizational and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail and excellent communication skills, who can translate between technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Job Description

• 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 flagging 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.

Core 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 work projects, even those with loosely defined concepts, through completion.
• 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).

Benefits: paid days off, medical, dental, and vision insurance, discretionary bonus opportunity, and a 401(k) plan with employer match (currently 50%). Anticipated salary range: $110,000 - $120,000 annually. Salary and benefits may be discussed during the interview process.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
