About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Technical Project Manager (TPM) to lead the planning, coordination, and execution of complex technical initiatives. The TPM will sit on the Product Development team and report to the Associate Director, Program Management. In this role, you will work cross-functionally and cross-institutionally to support the development of clinical LDT products. The TPM will partner most closely with software engineering, bioinformatics, and customer support teams to drive software development efforts forward from ideation through execution – ensuring milestones are met, risks are mitigated, and stakeholders are informed.

This is a unique opportunity to establish, implement, and drive technical project management processes while significantly impacting the success of a growing company at the forefront of precision medicine and metagenomics.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end project planning and execution across software engineering and product development efforts under software development lifecycle (SDLC) management.

• Lead release planning, standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming to drive execution across engineering teams.

• Coordinate scoping and requirement gathering efforts; align engineering teams to ensure requirements, acceptance criteria, and cross-team dependencies are clear before development begins.

• Drive communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned on goals and progress.

• Establish, implement, and iterate on foundational technical project management processes.

• Support the development of internal processes and best practices to scale delivery across the organization.

• Collaborate with engineering and business stakeholders to evaluate tradeoffs between technical complexity, resource availability, and delivery timelines.

• Collaborate with technical leads to define project scope, timelines, resource requirements, and success metrics, and develop quarterly roadmaps that align with corporate objectives.

• Build and maintain detailed project roadmaps, identifying dependencies, risks, and mitigation strategies.

• Track project progress using project management tools (e.g., Git Hub, Coda) and provide regular status updates, ensuring transparency and accountability.

• Support documentation writing and knowledge sharing to build internal infrastructure for scale.

• Ensure regulatory and quality standards are considered in technical project plans (e.g., CAP, CLIA, FDA, HIPAA etc.) and ensure adherence to established SDLC procedures.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in technical or scientific field + 5–7 years of experience in technical project management in biotech, life sciences, or health tech, preferably in diagnostics

• PMP, CSM, or other Agile certifications are a plus

• Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Practical knowledge of high-complexity molecular laboratory developed tests (LDT) or in vitro diagnostics (IVD)

• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams (software engineering, bioinformatics, medical, R&D, commercial, quality, product development, etc.)

• Experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) is a plus.

• Experience working with external…
