Nice-to-have

• Previous experience in clinical / health environments or regulated data ecosystems.
• Familiarity with automated KPI dashboards or AI tools supporting PM workflows.

Benefits

• Compensation performance bonuses
• Base fee: USD $1, - $1, / MONTH
• Performance incentives: Annual bonus for KPI over-performance
• Payment contractor terms Independent Contractor status only.
• Payment in USD via Wise or bank direct deposit.
• Invoicing monthly.

How to apply

• You will complete a self‑initiated 16‑minute AI video interview as well as a personality profile survey.
• Please provide:
  • A one‑page delivery approach document
  • A requirements/specification sample you personally authored (with acceptance criteria)
• Shortlisted candidates will participate in a short, scenario‑based delivery discussion.

Closing note: We hire TPMs who can both lead delivery and produce crystal‑clear requirements that reduce rework and accelerate launches.
