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.
