Opportunity for impact

Newfire Global Partners, a leader in developing disruptive healthcare technology, collaborates with Fortune 500 companies and start-ups to drive transformation.

Newfire is seeking a Senior Project Manager who is going to be working on a project involving modernizing the client’s data stack by consolidating two existing data solutions that include overlapping data and rely on legacy SQL- and SSIS-based pipelines. The initiative focuses on transitioning to a modern, scalable, Python-based data platform, improving performance, maintainability, and long-term sustainability. The work emphasizes production-quality data pipelines, standardized engineering practices, and reliable data infrastructure designed to support healthcare operations in a regulated environment. As part of the broader modernization effort, legacy components are expected to be gradually phased out as the new platform becomes stable and fully adopted.

What's the Project?
Our client is a U.S. healthcare organization operating in the care management and quality improvement space, supporting healthcare organizations in improving outcomes, addressing care gaps, and promoting health equity.
