Candid Health is looking for a Technical Program Manager - Implementation to serve as the connective tissue between our Engineering, Product, and Operations teams. This is a high-impact role designed for someone who thrives on organization and can navigate the complexities of a fast-growing platform.
You will be responsible for taking high-level business objectives and breaking them down into technical milestones, ensuring that our EPD (Engineering, Product, Design) teams are aligned with our Operations and Implementation goals. You’ll be the person who ensures that as our product grows more complex, our ability to deliver it to customers remains seamless.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Program Orchestration: Lead the planning and execution of large-scale initiatives. You will create the roadmaps, define the milestones, and track progress across multiple teams to ensure on-time delivery.
- Bridge Operations & EPD: Act as the primary point of contact for Operations teams. You will translate customer implementation needs into technical requirements and manage the rollout of new features to stakeholders.
- Master Cross-Functional Integration: You will map and manage the complex interdependencies between our core infrastructure and customer-facing workflows. By identifying technical and operational bottlenecks early, you ensure that platform updates and large-scale implementations move forward without friction or surprises.
- Risk Mitigation: Anticipate bottlenecks and technical risks before they become "fires." You’ll facilitate trade-off organic discussions between speed of delivery and technical debt.
- Visibility & Communication: Provide clear, concise updates to leadership on program health, resource allocation, and core KPIs.
Who You Are
- Experienced Program Leader: You have 5+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or a similar role.
- Technically Fluent: You don't need to be an engineer, but you are comfortable in technical environments. You understand how APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure work together and can follow technical discussions with ease.
- Expert Communicator: You excel at taking a complex technical update and distilling it into a clear status report for non-technical stakeholders.
- Operational Mindset: You have a bias toward action. You enjoy building the "system for the work" so that everyone else can do their jobs effectively.
- Collaborative & Resilient: You are a natural relationship builder who can influence teams without having direct authority over them. You stay calm under pressure and help teams navigate shifting priorities.
Qualifications
- Proven track record of managing cross-functional projects from inception to launch.
- Proficiency with project management tools (Jira, Linear, Asana etc.) and documentation software (Confluence, Notion).
- Experience in a fast-paced SaaS environment is a major plus.
- Strong analytical skills; you use data to drive decisions and measure project success.
Pay Transparency
The estimated starting annual salary range for this position is $165,000 to $209,000 USD; commensurate with experience. The listed range is a guideline from Pave data, and the actual base salary may be modified based on factors including job-related skills, experience/qualifications, interview performance, market data, etc. Total compensation for this position may also include equity, sales incentives (for sales roles), and employee benefits. Given Candid Health’s funding and size, we heavily value the potential upside from equity in our compensation package. Further note that Candid Health has minimal hierarchy and titles, but has broad ranges of experience represented within roles.
Please note: we are looking for employees to join our in-person culture at one of our offices (Denver, New York, or San Francisco). Our weekly schedule is 4 days in-office and 1 day working remotely.

Search Nonprofit Jobs in CaliforniaNonprofit H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Which nonprofit organizations in California sponsor H-1B visas?
California's largest nonprofit H-1B visa sponsors include Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Stanford Health Care, UCSF Medical Center, and major university systems like UC Berkeley and UCLA. Nonprofits affiliated with hospitals, research institutions, and social service organizations have well-established sponsorship programs. Smaller advocacy and community nonprofits do sponsor, but less consistently than large healthcare and education institutions.
Which cities in California have the most nonprofit H-1B sponsorship jobs?
San Francisco and the broader Bay Area lead in nonprofit H-1B activity, driven by major hospital networks, research universities, and technology-adjacent nonprofits. Los Angeles follows closely, with large healthcare systems, educational institutions, and social service organizations filing substantial H-1B volumes. Sacramento and San Diego also have active nonprofit sponsorship, particularly in public health, research, and community services sectors.
What types of nonprofit roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in California?
Roles that qualify must meet the H-1B specialty occupation standard, requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field directly related to the position. In California nonprofits, this commonly includes physicians, researchers, software engineers at nonprofit tech organizations, clinical social workers with specialized credentials, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and program managers in public health or international development. General administrative roles typically do not qualify.
How do I find nonprofit H-1B sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and filters jobs by visa sponsorship type, state, and industry, making it straightforward to browse verified nonprofit H-1B opportunities in California. Beyond job boards, reviewing DOL LCA disclosure data for California nonprofit employers helps identify which organizations have filed H-1B petitions historically. Targeting large hospital networks, UC system campuses, and established social service organizations increases your chances of finding active sponsors.
Are there any California-specific considerations for nonprofit H-1B sponsorship?
California does not impose state-level restrictions on H-1B employment, but its nonprofit sector has distinct characteristics worth understanding. California's prevailing wage requirements under the H-1B align with federal DOL standards, and wages in high-cost metros like San Francisco typically reflect Wage Level III or IV designations. Nonprofits with cap-exempt status, such as those affiliated with universities or qualifying research organizations, can file H-1B petitions year-round without waiting for the annual lottery.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B nonprofit jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
