Candidates may reside in the following states: Alaska, Washington, Montana, Oregon and California. Currently this position is working 100% remote. Post-Covid, candidates in the greater Seattle area will be expected to work each week partly remote and partly in the office. Candidates outside the greater Seattle area will occasionally have to travel to Seattle for meetings and to work with the greater team. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager who will be responsible for defining and delivering programs with a high degree of complexity that have broad cross-organizational impact beyond the Digital Innovation group. You will work with complete independence, and people look to you to define product or system strategy. Your data-driven, business-informed approach is sought after by stakeholders from a large array of functional areas in the organization. You have broad understanding of the organization's systems and technologies that are relevant to your area of focus. Your job is to invent, innovate, evolve, improve and simplify solutions. You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts between internal teams and outside vendors to develop optimal solutions.

The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience leading medium to large projects, and will have a well-rounded technical background in current web technologies.

With your guidance, stakeholders understand solutions well enough to identify issues which would prevent the solution from being viable with patients, consumers, clinical / operational staff, or other stakeholders whose domains are impacted by the solution. Identify near- and far-reaching implications of solution design on other systems in the organization, other system components, operational workflows, clinical areas of concern, security, privacy, regulatory compliance, financial implications, and all other non-technical stakeholder areas of interest See the forest despite the trees, and drive toward simple solutions that are characterized by low maintenance costs and robust in the face of changes to system components controlled by other functional groups in our healthcare system Suggest, recommend and ensure solution design and adoption of mechanisms necessary to ensure that your program or product will be successful in the long term, even when you are no longer actively involved.
