Role Description

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Technical Project Manager to lead strategic cloud technology initiatives from concept through completion, while also contributing to select on-premise software growth initiatives.

• Strategic Planning and Performance Execution
  • Partner with the President on strategic planning for our cloud growth initiatives and select on-premise innovation initiatives, translating strategic priorities into executable plans with clear ownership and timelines, assisting with on-time delivery within targeted budgets.
  • Track execution against strategic milestones, not just project tasks, surfacing where performance is falling behind intent and driving corrective action.
  • Contribute to the commercial and business planning view of key initiatives, partnering with Product, Engineering, and Sales to connect technical delivery to business outcomes.
• Budget and Financial Oversight
  • Establish and manage project budgets, including forecasting, tracking, and reporting variances.
  • Ensure all project expenditures align with approved budgets and company financial policies.
  • Provide quarterly budget summaries and variance analyses to leadership.

  • Facilitate quarterly strategic reviews, providing updates on project status, key milestones, risks, and opportunities.
  • Proactively engage with customers and prospects to solicit feedback on offerings and stimulate demand.
• Risk and Issue Management
  • Proactively identify project risks, issues, and dependencies, developing mitigation and contingency plans.
  • Escalate critical issues promptly and facilitate resolution with appropriate stakeholders.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Contribute to the refinement of project management processes, tools, and best practices.
  • Analyze project outcomes to identify lessons learned and opportunities for future improvement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required, in Engineering, Business Administration, Project Management, or a related field. An MBA, or equivalent business experience translating technical execution into strategic and business outcomes, is considered a strong advantage.
• 5+ years of experience managing cloud, software product development, or technical projects preferred.
• Experience working in a cross-functional team environment with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Prior experience working in healthcare foodservice operations or bedside nutrition management is an advantage.

Skills and Competencies

• Strong understanding of cloud and software product development life cycles.
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
• Excellent communication, organization, and presentation skills.
