Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.
About the Role
OpenLoopโs mission is to bring care anywhere by powering telehealth solutions at scale. Our Technical Program Management team turns business vision into structured, measurable execution, bringing operational rigor, predictability, and scale to how OpenLoop plans and ships. Weโre hiring a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead high-impact, cross-functional programs that directly support company OKRs and strategic priorities.
This is a senior-level individual contributor role responsible for translating business vision into structured, executable technical programs. You will partner closely with Engineering, Product, and business stakeholders, run Agile delivery across engineering teams, and make sure every initiative is tied to measurable outcomes.
You will help scale the TPM function at OpenLoop by standardizing Agile and practices, defining reporting cadences, and providing delivery metrics that improve how teams plan and ship. You will present in stakeholder and leadership meetings, with C-level visibility and meaningful ownership.
What Youโll Do
Own and drive execution of complex, cross-functional technical initiatives tied directly to company OKRs.
Translate business requirements into clearly defined technical programs and actionable requirements for engineering teams.
Ensure every request from business stakeholders aligns with company objectives and measurable outcomes.
Make prioritization and tradeoff decisions in partnership with Engineering and business leaders, negotiating across scope, timelines, and impact.
Produce status reports and updates tailored to the audience: executive summaries for leadership, detailed delivery views for engineering, and updates for business partners.
Run Agile ceremonies and coordinate delivery across multiple engineering teams, and cross-team planning and dependency management.
Proactively identify risks, manage dependencies, and remove blockers.
Use metrics and retrospective findings to find bottlenecks and improve team efficiency, velocity, and communication.
