IT Technical Program Manager

• The Technical Program Manager will lead the delivery of complex, cross-functional technical initiatives supporting a clinical diagnostics platform. This role is responsible for coordinating execution across engineering, business, quality, security, and operational stakeholders to ensure initiatives are delivered successfully against established priorities and roadmaps.
• The TPM will provide program-level leadership across planning, execution, governance, risk and dependency management, stakeholder alignment, release readiness, and delivery tracking while operating within a regulated software development environment. 
• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex technical initiatives for a clinical diagnostics platform, coordinating execution from intake and planning through design, development, testing, implementation, stabilization, and closure while supporting IEC 62304 and applicable quality requirements. 
• Drive execution against established product and technology roadmaps, partnering with Product Owners, Project Managers, Engineering, and other stakeholders to develop detailed delivery plans, release schedules, resource plans, milestones, and implementation activities. 
• Coordinate execution across globally distributed technical teams, including frontend, backend, and device/edge engineering, ensuring priorities, deliverables, timelines, and cross-team dependencies remain aligned. 
• Manage program risks, issues, dependencies, resource constraints, and delivery concerns, proactively identifying potential impacts and working with appropriate stakeholders to establish mitigation plans and drive resolution. 
• Facilitate stakeholder alignment across Product Owners, Engineering, QA, Regulatory Affairs, Information Security, Operations, and other cross-functional teams, ensuring clear ownership, decisions, dependencies, and next steps throughout the initiative lifecycle. 
• Establish and maintain program governance and communication cadence, including initiative working sessions, status reviews, dashboards, RACI, decision tracking, action items, and required program artifacts. 
• Track technical deliverables against Sprint and program timelines, monitor changes to delivery schedules, and work with developers and leadership to evaluate and communicate the impact of delays, risks, or changing priorities. 
• Coordinate release and business readiness activities, including testing, training, cutover, deployment, adoption, and stabilization in partnership with business and technical stakeholders. 
• Own cross-functional program communication, providing clear and timely updates to technical teams, business stakeholders, key partners, and executive leadership. 
• Prepare and deliver regular leadership updates covering program health, delivery progress, milestones, risks, dependencies, schedule impacts, decisions, and expected business outcomes. 
• Collaborate with senior IT and business stakeholders to establish initiative goals, expected business value, and success measures, and track progress against those outcomes throughout delivery. 
• Partner with Architecture and Engineering teams on technology roadmap execution, ensuring program plans, dependencies, and technical initiatives remain aligned with the established technology direction.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Own end-to-end technical delivery for a clinical diagnostics platform — balancing new feature development with platform modernization — while maintaining IEC 62304 regulatory compliance throughout. 
• Build and maintain product roadmaps, planning feature releases in coordination with engineering, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders. 
• Lead and coordinate a distributed engineering organization across multiple geographies, aligning technical teams (frontend, backend, device/edge) toward a shared roadmap. 
• Partner with Regulatory Affairs, InfoSec, and other cross-functional stakeholders to ensure new features and platform changes meet compliance and quality requirements without slowing delivery. 
• Prepare and deliver regular reports and updates to leadership on program status, risks, and roadmap progress.
• Build out the engineering team through active hiring — defining technical requirements, running structured interviews, and identifying candidates who can operate in a regulated, feature-development and modernization environment.

What You Bring: 

• Program Leadership – Experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives to successful outcomes. 
• Influence Without Authority – Skilled at aligning senior IT and business leaders, Product Owners, and technical teams around shared goals — even without direct reporting authority over them. 
• Risk & Dependency Foresight – A sharp eye for spotting issues early, navigating competing priorities, and keeping multi-team initiatives on track before small risks become big problems. 
• Executive-Level Communication – Comfortable running governance cadences, building clear dashboards and status updates, and translating technical complexity into business terms for senior stakeholders. 
• Business Outcome Focus – A relevant bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) paired with a results-driven mindset — you measure success by whether initiatives actually deliver the value they set out to.
