Position Information
Position Overview
The Technical Program Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering technical programs that span multiple product teams, shared platforms, and partners. This role works closely with product owners, product managers, and engineering leaders to identify dependencies early, keep shared work moving, and give leadership a clear, reliable picture of delivery, backed by operational data and analytics. The Technical Program Manager also partners with the Product Director on operational initiatives that strengthen how the product organization plans, aligns, and shares knowledge.
Qualified candidates will have 3 or more years of program management, product management, or technical project management experience, working SQL skills, strong communication and facilitation skills, and a demonstrated ability to coordinate work across teams they do not directly manage. Experience in healthcare technology or a regulated industry is preferred but not required. This role is hybrid, based in Nashville, TN, or remote within the US, with minimal travel (less than 10%) for onsite meetings.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for adhering to all HealthStream security policies, procedures, and assigned training.
Program Delivery & Dependencies
- Own integrated program plans, milestones, and dependency maps for initiatives that span multiple product teams, shared platforms, and partner groups
- Identify cross-team and technical dependencies early, including shared services, platform constraints, and sequencing conflicts, and work them to resolution before they become delays
- Track delivery commitments from internal teams and external development partners, and escalate early when commitments are at risk, and drive issues to resolution
- Coordinate release readiness across product, engineering, implementation, and training
Program Data & Analytics
- Pull delivery data from Azure DevOps and other systems into clear status views that leaders can trust
- Write queries against Snowflake to answer operational questions about delivery, capacity, and portfolio health, and turn the results into analysis leaders can act on
- Build and maintain operational analytics and dashboards that show program progress, risk, and cross-team dependencies
- Give leadership and executive sponsors regular, decision-ready reporting on what changed, what is at risk, and is needed in prioritized action items
Operations & AI
- Use AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot to draft status reports, summarize meetings, triage backlogs, and prepare decision materials
- Find repetitive operational work and simplify or automate it using AI-assisted workflows, low-code tools, or existing platforms, partnering with Product operations on cadences, ADO hygiene, and team communications
- Support operational initiatives led by Product leadership, such as building shared knowledge bases and program documentation
Communication & Alignment
- Partner with product owners and product managers across the portfolio to understand their roadmaps, surface where their work intersects, and align on shared priorities and sequencing
- Plan and facilitate recurring syncs and alignment sessions that move teams to decisions, and keep decisions and action items documented
- Present program status, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to audiences from engineers to executives
- Build trust and influence with teams you do not manage by being the person with the clearest picture of the program and an attitude of service-leadership
Requirements
- 3 or more years of experience in program management, product management, technical project management, or a similar role on software products
- Hands-on, everyday use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar), with examples of how they made you or your team faster
- Technical fluency with APIs, system architecture, and shared platforms, enough to follow engineering discussions, understand how one team’s technical decisions affect others, and spot delivery risk
- Working SQL, with experience writing queries in Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse
- Experience with Agile delivery frameworks and tools such as Azure DevOps or Jira
- Experience coordinating work across multiple teams you do not directly manage, including teams with competing priorities
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication and strong facilitation skills, including presenting to large or senior audiences
Qualifications
- Experience on programs involving platform modernization, shared services, or bringing multiple applications onto a common platform
- Experience building prototypes, internal tools, automations, or AI-assisted workflows that teams adopted
- Experience building dashboards or operational analytics in Sigma, or in similar BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau
- Experience working with an external development or vendor partner
- Background in healthcare, SaaS, or another regulated industry
- Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field
Compensation
- The salary range for this position is $89,637 - $120,000. Salary will be determined by the candidate’s level of experience and qualifications. Compensation will be commensurate with skills, relevant experience, and performance in similar roles.

Technical Manager Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a technical manager in Tennessee?
Most technical managers in Tennessee move into the role from a senior individual-contributor position in engineering, IT, or operations after building domain expertise and taking on informal leadership responsibilities. Tennessee does not require a state-issued license specifically for the title, but employers in regulated sectors such as healthcare technology or civil engineering may expect a Professional Engineer registration through the Tennessee State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors or relevant industry certifications alongside a relevant bachelor's or master's degree.
Which companies hire technical managers in Tennessee?
Employers hiring technical managers in Tennessee right now include Oracle, Starbucks, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's dense mix of healthcare systems, automotive and defense manufacturers, and logistics companies means consistent year-round demand for technical managers with both operational and people-leadership experience.
Which Tennessee cities have the most technical manager jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Brentwood account for the largest share of technical manager openings in Tennessee. Nashville drives volume through its healthcare technology corridor and corporate headquarters concentration, Memphis adds distribution and logistics demand anchored by FedEx and its supplier network, and Chattanooga benefits from automotive manufacturing around Volkswagen and a growing advanced-manufacturing base that needs hands-on technical leadership.
Are there remote technical manager jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, though the share is more limited than in purely analytical or software roles, since many technical manager positions involve direct oversight of equipment, facilities, or on-site teams. About 57% of technical manager openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with the remote options concentrating most heavily in IT program management and software engineering leadership rather than manufacturing or field operations roles.
How can I get hired as a technical manager in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is to first secure a senior technical individual-contributor role, then volunteer for lead responsibilities on a project or small team. Large Tennessee employers such as HCA Healthcare, Nissan's Smyrna plant, and Tennessee Valley Authority run internal development programs and post team-lead or associate manager openings that do not require prior management titles. A PMP certification or a graduate certificate from the University of Tennessee or Vanderbilt University strengthens a candidacy, as does lateral movement from roles such as senior engineer, IT systems analyst, or quality assurance lead.
Where can I find and apply to technical manager jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to technical manager jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to employers hiring in the state right now. Search the listings for roles that match your specialization and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
