About Thalamus

Our mission is to help the right doctors practice at the right hospitals to treat the right patients. We leverage a passion for technology, medical education, equity, and data-driven research to optimize physician recruitment, starting with the medical residency recruitment process.

Our philosophy is that the opportunity to practice medicine in an ideal environment should be accessible to all, and ample medical research has shown that this results in patients getting better healthcare outcomes overall. We built a comprehensive interview management platform, backed by evidence-based research, to innovate, streamline, and optimize the residency recruitment process.

 

Thalamus is hiring a Technical Program Manager to support our engineering organization. As the first member of our PMO, you’ll be designing and building the framework to streamline processes, documentation, collaboration, and communications across Thalamus’s Engineering, Product, Customer Experience, and Operations organizations. Your efforts will allow us to continue delivering a seamless, world-class product and experience that empowers med students, residents, fellows, and physicians to be in the driver's seat for their careers, and that allows programs and hospitals to optimally match candidates to their needs.

You will:

  • Design standardized, scalable, repeatable, and predictable framework, tools, and processes for initiation, tracking, governance, review (feedback, escalation, iteration), and delivery of programs and projects, balancing the historical precedence of our engineering org with industry best practices

  • Partner with key stakeholders, including our engineering, product, customer experience, and operations teams, to understand their respective expectations and work-styles, and build communications strategies to ensure all stakeholders are updated on project progress and deliverables

  • Prepare detailed program / project plans for quarterly release management – from ideation, to business justification, to risk identification and mitigation, to execution

  • Partner with leadership to define key metrics for process, product, and customer, and create a detailed tracking dashboard to communicate this data in real-time, asynchronously

 

You should have:

  • At least 8-10 years of technical program management experience in a product-driven company

  • Ability to work on Eastern or Central Time zones (or can begin work at 7am Pacific)

  • Prior success in cross-functional program management within a multi-product engineering org

  • Technical depth, with the ability to translate technical terms into business terms for non-technical stakeholders

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a good balance of business sensibility and empathy for the demands of tactical execution

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate business cases, succinctly explain data to stakeholders, and calmly direct debate and smooth conflict during periods of high stress

 

Bonus:

  • Health tech or GME industry experience

  • BA in a business, economics, or technical field

 

The salary range for this position is $185,000 - $200,000 and a grant of stock options. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and geographic location.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
