The Program Manager is an execution focused individual contributor accountable for driving multiple concurrent, high priority projects within a single program to on time, compliant delivery. Operating within an FDA and ISO 13485 regulated environment, this role owns the integrated program view across Class I and II medical device development, sustainment, and remediation projects, managing cross project dependencies, shared resources, program level risk, and decision escalation.

The Program Manager partners with Project Managers, functional leaders, and senior leadership to convert strategic priorities into executable plans, bringing structure, cadence, and clarity where they are still taking shape. Serving as a force multiplier for the program, this role accelerates momentum across work streams, directly leads select projects as business needs require, and helps mature program management practices across Healthmark.

This is a defined term position for approximately 12-18 months, and fully remote in Eastern Standard Time.

• Directly lead three or more projects within the program when required, while retaining accountability for overall program outcomes.
• Provide direction and day to day leadership to cross functional teams spanning R&D, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Lab functions through matrix relationships.
• Translate program objectives and loosely defined requirements into clear scope, deliverables, success metrics, and executable work plans.
• Drive accountability and follow through on commitments, action items, and decisions across all program work streams.
• Ensure program deliverables are completed, documented, and released in compliance with design controls (21 CFR 820, ISO 13485) and internal procedures.

• Develop and manage program budgets, estimates, and forecasts, monitoring performance against plan and driving corrective action.
• Implement plan changes within approved program boundaries and bring recommendations forward for decision when changes exceed them.

• Ensure technical, regulatory, schedule, and resource risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated at both the project and program level, consistent with ISO 14971 risk management principles.
• Analyze risk trends across projects to identify systemic issues and develop program level mitigation strategies.
• Maintain program risk registers, issue logs, and decision logs, with clear escalation pathways so blockers are resolved quickly.
• Develop alternative scenarios and recovery plans to protect critical milestones.

• Establish and run the program operating cadence, including program reviews, decision forums, and cross functional team meetings.
• Assemble and report program metrics covering scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality, and compliance, and make them readily accessible to project teams and stakeholders.
• Communicate program status, milestones, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership through concise executive level reporting that drives timely…
