Technical Project Manager

Alloy Health is hiring a Technical Project Manager to manage day-to-day execution and sprint delivery for its engineering team. The role translates Product priorities into a predictable delivery cadence by owning backlog health, sprint management, blocker removal, and delivery-risk visibility.

Responsibilities:

• Own and groom the team-level backlog, writing clear user stories and acceptance criteria based on priorities set by Product Management
• Finalize sprint scope, story assignments, and story points, and run sprint ceremonies including planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, in partnership with other team members
• Sequence and re-sequence backlog items within a sprint based on capacity, dependencies, business priorities, and blockers
• Serve as the first point of contact for the engineering team’s day-to-day product questions, including clarifying requirements, edge cases, and acceptance criteria
• Remove engineering blockers, and escalate the ones you cannot clear yourself
• Partner with QA and engineering to make sure stories are release-ready and meet the definition of done
• Track and report sprint-level delivery metrics including velocity, scope changes, and carryover
• Manage the balance between new feature work and technical priorities
• Flag scope, dependency, and timeline risks early, while there is still room to do something about them

Requirements:

• Clear communicator, able to lead team meetings and keep a team on track
• Able to use data to make quick, informed decisions
• You enjoy the operational rigor of agile delivery rather than treating it as overhead
• 2 to 4 years of experience in a program or project management, product operations, engineering, or business operations role
• Strong working knowledge of agile and scrum practices
• Familiarity with project management tools such as Jira and the Atlassian suite, and with AI tools such as Claude in day-to-day work
• Comfortable working closely with engineering. You can follow a technical conversation well enough to spot risk, even without being an engineer
• Excellent organizational skills, including planning sprints against velocity and dependencies
• Prior experience at a growth-stage startup
• Telehealth or healthcare experience
