The Senior Technical Program Manager, Data Ingestion serves as the primary delivery owner and client-facing point of contact for a portfolio of complex, interconnected data ingestion and integration initiatives. This role independently leads programs across multiple clients, platforms, engineering teams, and operational workstreams from intake through production readiness and stabilization, with accountability for technical roadmaps, scope, schedules, releases, risks, dependencies, change control, governance, and delivery outcomes. The Senior Technical Program Manager partners with data engineering, product, operations, security, infrastructure, architecture, and business stakeholders to translate business objectives into technical program requirements, assess feasibility and sequencing, resolve cross-project issues, and recommend delivery tradeoffs and corrective actions. Although this role does not perform the technical build directly, it applies strong knowledge of healthcare revenue cycle operations and data integration concepts-including file feeds, interfaces, APIs, data pipelines, validation, and production readiness-to challenge assumptions, influence decisions, and deliver measurable client and operational outcomes.
