Senior Technical Project Manager (US Based - Remote)

Orchid Software Solutions is hiring a Senior Technical Project Manager to lead delivery and own the product backlog for its IDRE pod. The role coordinates engineers, business and operations teams, and the client while translating regulatory and client requirements into sequenced work and maintaining sprint plans and multi-sprint roadmaps.

Responsibilities:

• Own delivery for the IDRE pod. Plan and run sprints, track scope, timelines and risks, and keep releases predictable
• Translate requirements into work. Break complex regulatory, operational and client requirements into well-scoped tickets with clear acceptance criteria
• Own the backlog and refinement. Keep the backlog prioritized and refined ahead of each sprint, so engineers start with zero ambiguity
• Plan beyond the sprint. Build and maintain a multi-sprint roadmap with the Tech Lead and business stakeholders, and make trade-offs visible
• Manage the client relationship. Be a primary point of contact for Capital Bridge: run status updates and demos, gather feedback, and manage expectations
• Triage and protect focus. Triage incoming issues and requests before they reach engineers, and escalate what is truly urgent
• Partner with engineering. Work with the Tech Lead on sequencing and what is realistic. The Tech Lead owns technical scope; you own the plan and the flow of work
• Facilitate, don't dictate. Run ceremonies that leave room for the team, and let engineers pull their own work to build ownership
• Document decisions. Keep decision logs, requirements and process documentation current in Jira and Confluence

Requirements:

• Based in the United States and authorized to work in the US (required for compliance)
• [6+] years as a Project Manager, Technical Project Manager or Product Owner on software teams, including hands-on backlog ownership
• Track record running Agile/Scrum delivery for a distributed engineering team across time zones (US and Latin America)
• Strong requirements work: you turn messy business inputs into clear user stories and acceptance criteria
• Client-facing experience: you have owned status reporting, demos and expectation management with an external client
• Fluent with Jira and Confluence, including cleaning up and organizing a complex backlog
• Clear, concise written and spoken English, and comfort pushing back with facts
• Candidates must reside in the United States and be authorized to work in the US without current or future visa sponsorship
• Healthcare payments, insurance claims, No Surprises Act / IDR, or another regulated domain (fintech, legal, government)
• Experience with government or CMS-facing systems and compliance requirements
• Technical background (engineering or CS) to discuss trade-offs credibly with senior engineers
• Comfort with data: SQL or reporting basics to answer your own delivery and client questions
• Scrum or PM certification (PSM, CSM, CSPO, PMP)
