• Help transition toward more structured, milestone‑driven releases, including quarterly planning and progress tracking
• Work closely with development and Dev Ops 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)
