Our client is an innovation team working on development of new products and ideas within a  major US Healthcare System, currently hiring a full time, permanent Principal Technical Program Manager, who will work remotely from Canada.

The role is with their highly innovative product development and incubation team – building next gen tools to ensure patients have convenient and easy health care access anywhere, any time.
