C-BRAIN Senior Technical Product Manager (Remote) - Neurology

About this role

Location Remote, US

 Scheduled Hours 40

Position Summary The C-BRAIN Senior Technical Product Manager is a senior, independent-contributor role responsible for product ownership and technical program management across C-BRAIN's AI tool portfolio. Reporting to the C-BRAIN Chief Technology Officer (CTO), this role owns the day-to-day product and technical operations management functions: product backlog management, milestone tracking, vendor and contractor management, data engineering coordination, DUA management, and technical reporting. The ideal candidate brings both product management discipline and technical program management depth. They should be able to translate user and stakeholder needs into product requirements, manage a backlog in coordination with the CTO, track complex multi-workstream technical programs, and manage high-stakes relationships with external industry partners — pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and technology partners — with the professionalism and judgment to represent C-BRAIN externally without close supervision. Familiarity with data engineering environments — pipelines, ingestion, ETL, and cloud infrastructure — is important given the dedicated data engineering coordination responsibilities. A significant component of this role is external-facing partner program management: coordinating directly with consortium member organizations on data contributions, DUA execution, and technical working groups. Candidates with experience limited to internal administrative functions will not be competitive. C-BRAIN-specific knowledge will be provided; PM fundamentals and partner-management credibility will not.

Data Engineering Oversight & Coordination • Tracks data pipeline development and infrastructure status in coordination with the CTO: monitors progress on data ingestion workflows, ETL processes, and data quality validation systems. • Serves as coordination liaison between data scientists, data engineers, and the C-BRAIN leadership team: schedules technical working sessions, maintains documentation of data architecture decisions, tracks technical dependencies and blockers. • Monitors data engineering deliverables: flags pipeline delays or quality issues to leadership, tracks resolution of technical incidents, and maintains a log of data infrastructure updates. • Supports data engineering resource planning and vendor coordination: assists with contractor onboarding, tracks data infrastructure costs, and coordinates with vendors providing data engineering services.

Data Use Agreement & Member Data Management • Oversees the full DUA lifecycle: defines dataset requirements and specifications with consortium members and the CTO; directs the Technical Operations Coordinator on DUA tracking, delivery monitoring, and compliance documentation; reviews and approves completed DUA packages. • Reviews DUA register status reports from the Technical Operations Coordinator; escalates unresolved delivery delays or compliance gaps to C-BRAIN leadership. • Leads DUA strategy in coordination with WashU Legal: directs the standard terms framework and negotiation of non-standard provisions; coordinates with the Operations Program Leader on cross-program DUA alignment. • Oversees semi-annual DUA compliance reviews, directs the Technical Operations Coordinator on review execution; reviews findings and directs corrective action as needed.

Technical Materials & CTO Working Group Coordination • Prepares the CTO's presentation slides and technical update materials for Steering Committee meetings and other meetings as needed. • Directs CTO-managed working group logistics: provides agenda input and topic direction to the Technical Operations Coordinator; reviews agendas and minutes before distribution; act on open action items. • Flags technical topics requiring Steering Committee awareness or decision to the CTO and Operations Program Leader in advance of each meeting.

Partner, Scientific & Technical Coordination Support • Leads operational coordination for outreach and community engagement activities in partnership with the Technical Operations Coordinator; serves as escalation point for external partner inquiries requiring technical or programmatic judgment. • Manages the C-BRAIN technical program relationship with consortium member organizations: serves as the primary operational contact for pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic partner data contribution programs; coordinates technical onboarding of new data contributors; manages partner expectations on data delivery timelines; and escalates relationship issues to the CTO and Operations Program Leader appropriately. • Directs scientific community engagement coordination: defines working gr
