[Hiring] Technical Project Manager, Data @LucyRx

Role Description

LucyRx is seeking a Technical Project Manager to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to our data engineering organization. This role exists to ensure that work flows smoothly: from intake and requirements through scoping, prioritization, execution, and delivery.

You will be the connective tissue between business stakeholders who need data and the engineers who build it. You understand enough about data and technology to ask the right questions, push back on vague requirements, and protect the team from scope creep.

Role and Responsibilities

• Intake and Requirements:
  • Own the intake process for data engineering requests across the organization.
  • Partner with business stakeholders to gather and define requirements.
  • Translate business needs into well-defined technical requirements.
  • Maintain a clear, prioritized view of incoming requests.
• Scoping and Estimation:
  • Facilitate scoping and estimation sessions with engineering leads.
  • Identify dependencies, risks, and assumptions early.
  • Maintain realistic delivery timelines.
• Delivery and Execution:
  • Own the day-to-day delivery cadence for active data engineering work.
  • Track progress against commitments and identify variance early.
  • Remove blockers to ensure engineers can focus on building.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date project documentation.
• Prioritization and Backlog Management:
  • Maintain and groom the data engineering backlog.
  • Facilitate prioritization conversations.
  • Ensure the team knows what they are working on and why it matters.
• Stakeholder Communication:
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for stakeholders.
  • Set and manage expectations on delivery timelines.
  • Build strong working relationships across teams.
  • Prepare and present project status updates for leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of project management experience, with at least 3 years managing technical data or engineering projects.
• Demonstrated experience working with data engineering, analytics, or BI teams.
• Strong understanding of data concepts: pipelines, ETL/ELT, data warehousing, and reporting workflows.
• Proficiency with Agile, Scrum, or Kanban delivery frameworks.
• Experience with project and backlog management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, or similar.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.

Preferences

• Experience managing projects involving Oracle databases, cloud data platforms, or data migration initiatives.
• Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as dbt, Fivetran, Airflow, or Tableau.
• Healthcare, PBM, managed care, or other regulated industry experience.
• PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or equivalent certification.
• Experience working with mixed teams of FTE and contractors.
• Exposure to HIPAA compliance requirements in a technical project context.
