## Description

We're partnering with an award-winning digital product consultancy that helps healthcare organizations design, build, and launch innovative software products. Their clients range from early-stage healthcare startups to established healthcare organizations looking to modernize digital experiences through custom software development.

This is not an internal IT Project Manager position.

Instead, you'll work directly with healthcare clients, product designers, and software engineers to guide custom software projects from early discovery through production release. You'll own client relationships, help define product strategy, facilitate technical discussions, manage delivery, and ensure successful execution across multiple engagements.

If you enjoy solving ambiguous product challenges, working directly with executive stakeholders, and helping engineering teams deliver meaningful software solutions, this is an outstanding opportunity.

Why join us?

You'll join a highly collaborative consulting organization where every project is different. Rather than supporting a single product, you'll partner with innovative healthcare organizations to design and deliver technology that improves patient experiences, provider workflows, and healthcare outcomes.

If you enjoy wearing multiple hats, influencing product direction, and seeing your work shipped into production, we'd love to hear from you., Lead discovery sessions with healthcare clients to understand business goals, user needs, and technical requirements.
Translate complex business problems into actionable product roadmaps and technical delivery plans.
Manage 2-4 concurrent software development engagements.
Partner closely with Product Designers, Software Engineers, QA, and offshore development teams.
Facilitate client workshops, technical discussions, sprint planning, and roadmap conversations.
Own project scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and stakeholder communication.
Help drive technical decisions by understanding software architecture and engineering tradeoffs.
Leverage AI tools to improve delivery efficiency and project execution.
Deliver modern cloud-based software products from concept through production deployment., Healthcare SaaS

Healthcare Startups

This Role Is NOT A Fit If... ::

Your background is primarily Infrastructure Project Management.
Your experience centers around Help Desk, Networking, Infrastructure, Cloud Migrations, ERP, CRM, or EHR implementations.
You've primarily worked in PMO governance, reporting, or project coordination without owning software delivery.
Your experience has been managing internal IT initiatives instead of client-facing software engineering projects.
