Technical Product Manager

About The Position

We're looking for a hands-on Technical Product Manager to lead the execution of digital product initiatives for a veterinary health organization. You'll be deep in the day-to-day product work: writing user stories, owning and prioritizing the backlog, and coordinating across multiple engineering, product, and business teams to turn stakeholder needs into clear, actionable work for engineering. We are looking for a generalist who understands a product end-to-end rather than owning one narrow feature area. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be technical enough to understand integrations, APIs, and how interconnected systems communicate. Just as important, you'll want to get close to how the product is actually used in the wild, observing real user experiences and turning those insights into improvements, rather than managing everything from inside Jira. Clear communication is central to the job, since you'll regularly translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders and keep everyone aligned on progress, risks, and dependencies.
