[Hiring] Senior Technical Delivery Manager @Commence

Role Description

The Senior Technical Delivery Manager is responsible for the full delivery of complex technical programs across engineering, product, data, and operations teams. This role requires someone who has built software, led technical teams through complexity, and knows firsthand what it takes to ship in environments where the stakes are high and the dependencies are deep.

• Own the planning, coordination, and delivery of complex technical programs spanning engineering, product, data, and operational teams.
• Partner with engineering leaders, product managers, and domain experts to translate business requirements into program plans, delivery milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Drive end-to-end program management including scope definition, scheduling, dependency management, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communication.
• Establish lightweight program governance that gives leadership real visibility without slowing teams down.
• Identify and manage cross-team dependencies across software development, data engineering, infrastructure, and client delivery teams.
• Work alongside engineering teams building cloud-native platforms, APIs, and healthcare data solutions.
• Evaluate technical approaches critically.
• Facilitate program reviews, technical design discussions, and decision-making forums to remove blockers and drive alignment across teams.
• Coordinate releases and delivery activities across development, QA, DevOps, and operational teams to ensure successful production deployments.
• Continuously improve delivery processes, tooling, and practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of experience in technical program management or software delivery, with a background that includes hands-on engineering.
• Deep understanding of modern software development including cloud-native architectures, microservices, APIs, and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with engineering stacks such as .NET, Java, React, Python, or JavaScript frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage competing priorities across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with Agile delivery frameworks and tools such as Jira, Confluence, or similar program management platforms.

Requirements

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving Agile environment where iteration speed matters and priorities shift quickly.
• Experience in healthcare data, interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, claims data), Federal Government, or other regulated environments.
• Strong ownership mindset.
• Ability to develop solution options when faced with competing constraints and bring recommendations, not just problems.
• Experience working with distributed engineering teams and coordinating delivery across multiple vendors, agencies, or business units.
• PMP, Agile, or Scrum certifications are a plus but not required.
