About The Position

The Technical Program Manager (TPM) is a connective force within Care Lumen's Business Operations division responsible for driving complex, cross-functional programs from initiation through successful delivery. Reporting to the Senior Director of Business Operations, this role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and business, translating strategy into structured execution. This is not a coordinator role. The ideal candidate brings technical fluency, strong operational instincts, and the ability to lead without direct authority. You'll work across teams to define program scope, manage dependencies, surface and resolve risks, and keep stakeholders aligned and accountable all while maintaining visibility into the details that matter most. As Care Lumen scales, so does the complexity of what we're building and how we operate. This TPM will help us deliver at that scale with rigor, clarity, and speed. If you're energized by hard problems, ambiguity, and getting things done across organizational boundaries, this role is for you.

Proven ability to drive alignment and delivery across multiple teams and stakeholders without direct management authority
Experience building and maintaining program infrastructure: timelines, dependency maps, RAID logs, status reporting, and governance frameworks
Excellent communication skills able to synthesize complexity into clear, concise updates for both technical audiences and executive stakeholders
High proficiency with program and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Smartsheets, Confluence, Notion, or similar)
