Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Modern Health is a mental health benefits platform for employers, providing access to various digital resources for well-being. They are seeking a Program Manager to drive cross-team execution of product and technical initiatives, improve alignment and communication within the Product & Tech organization, and support operational rhythms.
Responsibilities
- Program-manage product and technical initiatives — drive cross-team execution from scoping through launch and post-launch follow-through, across Product, Engineering, Design, and Data
- Keep programs on track — build and maintain project plans, map dependencies across teams, track risks and issues, and keep initiatives on a predictable timeline
- Translate needs into crisp requirements — turn vague business, clinical, or partner requests into clear, actionable requirements and decisions that product and engineering teams can build against
- Support Product & Tech operating rhythms — help run quarterly planning, goal setting, roadmap reviews, and launch readiness and communications
- Strengthen feedback loops — improve alignment, communication, and processes between Product & Tech teams and their cross-functional counterparts
- Enable data-informed decisions — help track the performance and impact of major initiatives and prepare clear, concise updates for leadership
- Manage core tooling — administer and improve the operational tooling and systems (project trackers, documentation, dashboards) that give the org visibility and leverage
- Finish the job — ensure initiatives don’t just launch, but reach long-term optimization and post-launch learnings
Skills
- 3+ years of experience in program management, project management, or operations in a complex, cross-functional environment
- Strong program management fundamentals — planning, sequencing, milestone and dependency tracking, and risk management, with exceptional attention to detail
- A documentation and systems thinker — you naturally reach for playbooks, templates, and repeatable processes instead of doing the same manual task 100 times
- A clear communicator — you give stakeholders proactive visibility into your work, run effective meetings, and capture decisions and action items so nothing falls through the cracks
- Comfortable with ambiguity and biased toward action — you ask sharp questions, propose solutions rather than waiting for instructions, and know when to escalate
- Comfortable with the technical side of the house — you don't need to code, but product development lifecycles, integrations, APIs, and data aren't a black box to you
- Collaborative, with high empathy and high accountability — you support your teammates, give and receive direct feedback, and hold yourself to a high bar
- Growth-minded — you actively seek feedback and are excited to grow toward leading larger, more complex programs end-to-end
- Deeply motivated by Modern Health's mission and passionate about enabling better mental health outcomes at scale
- Immigration sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must be able to maintain work authorization for the duration of employment without employer sponsorship or employer-provided training plans or attestations (including, for example, the Form I-983 required for STEM OPT)
- Experience in digital health or working with health-related products, services, or partnerships
- Experience in a high-growth startup or similarly dynamic environment where building while flying is the norm
- Familiarity with modern product & engineering tools — e.g., Jira or Linear, Confluence or Notion, analytics and dashboarding tools
