The Technical Project Manager will bring structure and momentum to the data engineering organization by managing intake, requirements, scoping, prioritization, delivery cadence, backlog management, stakeholder communication, and project documentation.
Responsibilities
- Own the intake process for data engineering requests across the organization, including business intelligence, pipeline development, Oracle database work, and analytics enablement
- Partner with business stakeholders in clinical operations, finance, product, and reporting to gather and define requirements with enough clarity that engineering can scope and execute without constant back-and-forth
- Translate business needs into well-defined technical requirements. Push back when requirements are vague, incomplete, or likely to change mid-execution
- Maintain a clear, prioritized view of incoming requests and help leadership make informed tradeoff decisions
- Facilitate scoping and estimation sessions with engineering leads. Ensure work is broken down to a level of detail that allows for reliable delivery commitments
- Identify dependencies, risks, and assumptions early and surface them before work begins rather than after it derails
- Maintain realistic delivery timelines that account for team capacity, complexity, and competing priorities
- Own the day-to-day delivery cadence for active data engineering work. Run standups, facilitate sprint planning and retrospectives, and keep the team moving
- Track progress against commitments and identify variance early. Escalate when something is at risk and propose solutions rather than just problems
- Remove blockers. Whether it is a missing access credential, an unclear requirement, or a dependency on another team, you clear the path so engineers can focus on building
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date project documentation including status reports, decision logs, and delivery timelines
- Maintain and groom the data engineering backlog in collaboration with the Manager, Data Engineering and other stakeholders
- Facilitate prioritization conversations that balance business urgency, technical dependencies, team capacity, and strategic roadmap alignment
- Ensure the team always knows what they are working on, why it matters, and what comes next
- Serve as the primary point of contact for stakeholders seeking status on data engineering work. Provide proactive, clear, and honest updates
- Set and manage expectations on delivery timelines. Do not over-promise and do not go silent when something slips
- Build strong working relationships across the data, engineering, product, clinical, and finance teams
- Prepare and present project status updates for leadership as needed

- Demonstrated experience working with data engineering, analytics, or BI teams in a project management capacity
- Strong understanding of data concepts: pipelines, ETL/ELT, data warehousing, and reporting workflows. You do not need to build these things, but you need to understand them well enough to scope and manage them
- Proficiency with Agile, Scrum, or Kanban delivery frameworks. Comfortable running ceremonies, managing sprints, and adapting process to what the team actually needs
- Experience with project and backlog management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, or similar
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You can write a crisp status update, run a focused meeting, and have a direct conversation when something is off track
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. You keep things from falling through the cracks
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where processes are still being built
- This is a largely sedentary role; however, some standing, walking, bending, and reaching may be required
- Regularly operates in an office or home office setting which involves utilizing a computer, mouse, keyboard, and occasionally operates other standard office equipment such as a printer, copier, and phone
- Travel may be required by either car or airplane, or a combination of multiple modes of transportation

- Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as dbt, Fivetran, Airflow, or Tableau
