Health Information Specialist I

Required

• A staff-level program manager to run the operating model between Datavant's security organization and Engineering. Security teams spanning compliance, IT assurance, identity and access management, security operations, and product security all need work from engineering and platform teams across every business vertical. This role owns the quarterly cycle that turns those needs into a planned, prioritized engineering backlog, and holds security leaders and engineering managers alike accountable for their timelines from intake through delivery.
• Your focus is coordination and accountability: making sure the right inputs arrive on time, and that committed work lands on engineering teams, moves, and gets closed out. This isn't a check-the-box PMO role. We're looking for someone who builds a cycle that runs better every quarter, not someone who sends more reminders.
• A track record of owning a recurring, cross-team planning or delivery cycle at organizational scale. You've run it through multiple iterations and made each one measurably better than the last.
• Demonstrated ability to hold people accountable without formal authority, on both sides of a handoff, including leaders more senior than you. You're persistent and direct, comfortable escalating, and you keep relationships intact while doing it.
• Experience bringing structure to a recurring forum or process that had lost focus. You've given a meeting a clear purpose, defined inputs and outputs, and made it something people showed up for because it was useful.
• Experience coordinating work across a large number of teams and multiple business units at the same time, while keeping the details straight.
• Fluency in how engineering teams plan and work: sprints, backlogs, capacity, and quarterly planning. Engineering managers see you as someone who makes their lives easier, not harder.
• Strong Jira (or equivalent) skills, including workflows, issue hierarchies, JQL, and dashboards. You build the tracking and reporting yourself rather than waiting for someone else to.
• Clear, concise written communication. You can write an ask that gets a usable answer the first time, and a status update a CISO can absorb in two minutes.
• Comfort operating with little guidance across an enterprise-wide scope, including when deadlines compress and priorities compete.
• The judgment to tell whether a stall is a process problem, a people problem, or a priority conflict that needs a leadership decision, and to handle each accordingly.
• What Helps You Stand Out
