COPE Health Solutions is seeking a Project Manager to lead planning, coordination, and delivery efforts across multiple agile teams building web-based healthcare applications. This role requires a balance of agile project leadership and compliance focus, especially driving initiatives related to regulatory and security certifications such as HiTrust.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role in a fast-moving, mission-driven organization.

Position Description:

• Coordinate and facilitate agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, standups, retrospectives) across one or more engineering teams.
• Own the project delivery lifecycle, ensuring timelines, scope, and quality are met across product and compliance initiatives.
• Maintain visibility of project status through clear documentation, reporting, and risk management.
• Collaborate with technical leads and product managers to define and prioritize work aligned with business goals.
• Track and manage cross-functional dependencies and communicate changes proactively.
• Drive execution and coordination of certification and audit processes, especially HiTrust, in collaboration with security, DevOps, and compliance teams.
• Develop and maintain project plans, tracking progress of control implementation and evidence collection for compliance efforts.
• Support and manage documentation for internal processes and policy alignment related to certification frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2).
• Champion continuous improvement and promote best practices in agile delivery and project governance.
• Work with the Engineering Manager to report on KPIs for the engineering organization.

Required Qualifications:

• Undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, computer engineering, informatics, management information systems or STEM discipline strongly preferred

• 4+ years of experience as a Project Manager or Scrum Master working with agile software teams.
• Proven experience delivering projects in a highly regulated industry such as healthcare, finance, or government.
• Familiarity with one or more certification frameworks such as HiTrust, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST.
• Experience working in agile environments (Scrum or Kanban), ideally with distributed or remote teams.
• Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple parallel efforts.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — both technical and non-technical.
• Comfortable working with technical documentation, compliance evidence, and cross-department coordination

Preferred:

• Experience with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (preferably Azure).
• Knowledge of healthcare data standards (e.g., HL7, FHIR, X12).
• Exposure to identity and access management (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO).
• Experience mentoring or line-managing other engineers.
• Hand on experience leveraging AI tools to improve efficiencies in the engineering process.
• Experience with .Net APIs a definite advantage.
