The Technical Project Manager supports CMS's Digital Quality Initiative (DQI) on the Security, Innovation, and Operations (SIO) program, providing the planning, coordination, and project management needed to advance DQI priorities across the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ). This role works closely with Information Systems Group (ISG) leadership, CMS teams, and other stakeholders to translate strategic direction into actionable plans, coordinate activities across interconnected efforts, and support successful implementation.

A key aspect of this role is managing the organizational, operational, and technical complexities associated with DQI, including cross-team dependencies, stakeholder engagement, process changes, and adoption of new capabilities. The Technical Project Manager should bring a working understanding of the technical landscape supporting digital quality, including FHIR-based interoperability, healthcare data exchange, and systems integration, to effectively coordinate activities and engage with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Success requires strong project management, communication, collaboration, and change management skills to help CMS navigate a complex, multi-year transformation.
