Principal Technical Program Manager

About OpenLoop

OpenLoop was co-founded by CEO, Dr. Jon Lensing, and COO, Christian Williams, with the vision to bring care anywhere. Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.

About the Role

OpenLoop’s mission is to bring care anywhere by powering telehealth solutions at scale. Our Technical Program Management team turns business vision into structured, measurable execution, bringing operational rigor, predictability, and scale to how OpenLoop plans and ships. We’re hiring a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead high-impact, cross-functional programs that directly support company OKRs and strategic priorities.

This is a principal-level individual contributor role and one of the most senior TPM positions at OpenLoop. You will help set direction for how OpenLoop plans, prioritizes, and delivers its most complex, multi-team programs, translating business vision into structured, executable technical programs. You will partner closely with Engineering, Product, and business stakeholders, run Agile delivery across engineering teams, and make sure every initiative is tied to measurable outcomes.

You will help lead the build-out of the TPM function at OpenLoop in standardizing Agile and practices, defining reporting cadences, and providing delivery metrics that improve how teams plan and ship. You will act as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, presenting in stakeholder and leadership meetings with C-level visibility and meaningful ownership. You will lead through influence, setting the standard for program leadership and growing the next generation of TPMs at OpenLoop. You will connect engineering and product with the rest of the business so that priorities move forward predictably.

What You’ll Do

• Own and drive execution of complex, cross-functional technical initiatives tied directly to company OKRs.

• Ensure every request from business stakeholders aligns with company objectives and measurable outcomes.

• Make prioritization and tradeoff decisions in partnership with Engineering and business leaders, negotiating across scope, timelines, and impact.

• Produce status reports and updates tailored to the audience: executive summaries for leadership, detailed delivery views for engineering, and updates for business partners.

• Own cross-team planning, dependency management, and delivery cadence across multiple engineering teams.

• Use metrics and retrospective findings to find bottlenecks and improve team efficiency, predictability, cycle time, and delivery health, and communication.

• Set program strategy, consistent operating model cadence engineering and product, including quarterly planning, program reviews, and multi-quarter roadmaps across portfolios of related initiatives, aligned to company OKRs.

• Define the TPM operating model at OpenLoop, including standards for intake, planning, prioritization, reporting, and delivery health.

• Lead organizational change, such as new delivery practices, tooling, or team structures, and bring stakeholders along.

• Lead delivery during high-stakes moments, such as critical launches, client escalations, or incidents, keeping teams focused and stakeholders informed.

• Run a consistent operating cadence across engineering and product, including quarterly planning, program reviews, and launch readiness checks.

• Provide program data on capacity and resourcing to inform headcount planning, architecture reviews, and portfolio discussions.

• Keep TPM documentation and onboarding materials current so the practice runs as a repeatable discipline, not on any one person's knowledge.
