Summary:The Technical Product Manager (TPM) plays a pivotal role in translating market and client needs into technically sound product capabilities. This role leads the identification and closure of technical gaps between product and the broader healthcare ecosystem, working closely with architects, engineers, and delivery teams. The TPM provides guidance throughout the product lifecycle—from early-stage feasibility to design oversight and delivery—to ensure scalable, performant, and interoperable solutions with deep alignment to engineering and architecture. This role differs from a Group Product Manager in that it emphasizes technical execution over strategic market positioning, serving as the connective tissue between business requirements and technical implementation. The TPM is expected to engage directly in architecture discussions, reason about trade-offs, and support the technical implementation end-to-end.

• Serve as a technical resource and decision-maker to unblock delivery teams, balancing client requirements with architectural and operational considerations.
• Accountable for ensuring that all working hours are accurately reported in NetSuite on a daily or weekly basis, that the majority of (if not all) hours are tracked as billable and that the project management tool in NetSuite is properly and fully utilized.  
• Tracking and reporting of billable hours is a critical aspect of project management and delivery to our customers and this is a major area of accountability.
