Datavant is a data platform company for healthcare whose products and solutions enable organizations to move and connect data securely. Datavant has a network of networks consisting of thousands of organizations, more than 70,000 hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest health systems, and an ecosystem of 500+ real-world data partners.

By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a highly collaborative, remote-friendly team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. We invest in our people and believe in hiring for high-potential and humble individuals who can rapidly grow their responsibilities as the company scales. Datavant is a distributed, remote-first team, and we empower Datavanters to shape their working environment in a way that suits their needs.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with our software product development teams to facilitate the delivery of cross-functional programs. You will partner with stakeholders to assemble project teams, define responsibilities, allocate appropriate resources, and develop schedules that ensure clear dependency management and seamless execution. Additionally, you will assess and manage program risks by anticipating bottlenecks and facilitating necessary trade-offs.

This position requires candidates who embrace autonomy, possess a strong perspective on how teams can work effectively together, and have a comprehensive understanding of end-to-end planning and product delivery cycles. You should be skilled at fostering collaboration between teams and adept at managing diverse groups of stakeholders.

You will:

• Organize highly complex, highly cross-functional programs and projects in alignment with the mission and goals of the organization.
• Support continuous planning efforts leading up to quarterly and annual planning, and drive the execution of cross-functional plans.
• Establish yourself as a leader within your Area and Program alongside product, engineering and other core departments. This is not a role for those who prefer sitting backstage taking notes and setting up meetings.
• Establish a streamlined cadence across the program by implementing operating mechanisms that enable the program to efficiently achieve its goals and objectives.
• Manage dependencies, track risks, and resolve issues to ensure program success.
• Monitor and report on program delivery status and teams’ progress toward quarterly OKRs and roadmap milestones.
• Enforce rigor across the program by ensuring effective documentation, cross-team communication, and efficient meetings.
• Drive continuous improvement by utilizing feedback and metrics to identify opportunities for enhancement.
• Identify areas for ongoing improvement to support the adoption of best practices and contribute to organization-wide operational initiatives.

What you will bring to the table: 

• Strong technical background, with at least 8-10 years experience in software development as a delivery lead or technical program manager, preferably in the healthcare space managing complex programs.
• Deep understanding of modern software development lifecycles.
• Extensive knowledge of Agile practices and principles.
• Proven experience in driving multiple technology projects and initiatives from inception to completion.
• Demonstrated ability to establish and scale cross-functional technology programs, processes, and delivery frameworks.
• Proficiency with the Atlassian Suite, with high Jira acumen.
• Familiarity with the OKR goal-setting methodology.
• Experience working with distributed or multi-office teams.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly and comfortably.

Bonus points if:

• You have PMP, CSM, and/or SAFe certifications.
• Have experience directly in the healthtech space.
