Senior Technical Project Manager, Healthcare — Track

You will be a high-velocity TPM who owns delivery for multiple, high-impact healthcare engagements from discovery to launch. This is a rapid-growth role for someone who wants deep, hands-on ownership, direct client exposure, and the chance to shape new products and business lines that improve care.

Sidebench values relentless drive, humility, ownership, and results. We hire people who move quickly, learn continuously, and are team-first.

• Own 2 to 4 concurrent healthcare technology engagements. Accountability includes timeline, budget, scope, quality, and client satisfaction.
• Own scoping, estimation, and solution shaping for the proposals you deliver. Be the named delivery lead on SOWs.
• Implement tooling and automation that improves delivery efficiency and reduces manual effort by at least 15% in your first 6 months.
• Lead client workshops, steering meetings, sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and risk mitigation.
• Own project financials: forecasting, burn, change control, and escalation.

Run executive steering with client stakeholders, lead cross-functional sprint planning with product, design, and engineering, produce crisp status and decision materials, run client workshops, and coach teammates on delivery plans. You will switch between strategy and scoping and hands-on execution.

• 3+ years in technical project management or consulting delivering custom software, with clear career progression and ownership examples.
• At least one end-to-end healthcare project or 2+ years in healthcare-adjacent work with transferable outcomes.
• Experience managing project budgets and roadmaps for work in the $200k-$2M range.
• Technical fluency: able to understand architecture tradeoffs, evaluate APIs, and assess integration risk. Comfortable with Jira, Confluence, and product discovery practices.
• Client-facing leadership: ran workshops and maintained executive relationships.
• Measured impact: can describe quantified outcomes you drove and how you achieved them.
• HIPAA, HITRUST, or clinical workflow experience.
• SQL and cloud literacy, experience integrating EHR systems.
• AI-forward mindset with hands-on experience using automation or LLM-based tools to support delivery. Candidates should be comfortable discussing how they’ve applied these tools in real workflows and the impact on speed, quality, or team effectiveness.

We follow a rigorous and transparent process to identify high-potential hires. Typical stages:

• Hiring manager screen – 20 to 30 minutes.
• Take-home scoping exercise – 90 minutes. Scope a 10-week healthcare engagement with risks and estimate.
• Panel interview – delivery playbook, technical fluency, and client simulation.
• Reference checks and values interview.

Candidates will be evaluated on technical fluency and risk judgment, outcome orientation and metrics-driven delivery, client leadership, and culture fit (humility, grit, team-first).

You prefer rigid, low-ambiguity roles or manage only ceremonies without owning delivery outcomes. If you are not excited by direct client work, multiple concurrent projects, and hands-on scoping, then this is NOT the right role.

• Short portfolio: 3 engagements you led with measurable outcomes (total 500 words). For each, include your role, budget, timeline, biggest risk and mitigation, and the client outcome.
• A 250-word note explaining why you are taking a leap now and what you want to learn at Sidebench.
• Two client or stakeholder references.

Applications without the portfolio will be deprioritized.

Sidebench offers rapid career advancement and significant ownership of both product and business initiatives for high-achieving individuals.
