Principal, Technical Program Manager (Commercialization)

Releady is partnering with a leading healthcare technology company to hire a Principal, Technical Program Manager who take software products from development to market. This organization provides an AI-powered data and integration platform to nonprofit, community, and regional health plans, and it is in the middle of a deliberate transformation into a commercial health technology company. These hires will lead the launch of its flagship data platform and its API integration product.

In this role, you will make sure that what the company builds is what it can sell, deliver, and support. You will own programs that span Engineering, Product, Sales, Customer Success, Security, and external partners, and you will build the delivery systems, metrics, and governance that do not yet exist. This role is for a builder who brings order to ambiguity, drives decisions to closure, and measures success by what ships.
