Many of our 15+ health system partners are still running legacy data infrastructure that creates significant slowdowns in AI deployment. You'll lead the engagements that change that - helping partners stand up modern Azure Databricks environments, land their EHR and source system data in a cloud-native architecture, and unlock the ability to deploy our agentic AI workflows at full speed. You are the single point of accountability for each engagement - from scoping and SOW alignment through milestone delivery and handoff to our integration team. You'll run the weekly status calls, manage partner expectations, coordinate across engineering, mapping, and infrastructure resources, and ensure every engagement delivers on its promises. This is not a traditional PMO role. You'll be managing deeply technical engagements where the deliverable is a functioning data platform. You need enough technical fluency to understand what's happening at the infrastructure and data layer, ask the right questions, and spot risks before they become blockers - all while maintaining the partner relationship and keeping the project on track., * Own the modernization engagement lifecycle: scoping, SOW alignment, kickoff, milestone tracking, status reporting, and handoff * Serve as primary point of contact for partner stakeholders during engagements * Coordinate across engineering, data mapping, cloud/infrastructure, and client integration resources * Manage engagement timelines, risks, and dependencies across 2-3 concurrent engagements * Run weekly status calls with partner teams * Ensure clean handoff to the Client Integration team post-modernization * Build and refine the engagement playbook for repeatability and scalability * Track capacity across concurrent engagements and flag resource conflicts early ## Related Videos - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk)
