At iA® (Innovation Associates®), we are at the forefront of transforming how pharmacies manage prescription fulfillment. With over 30 years of experience and innovation, iA is advancing pharmacy automation with solutions such as the NEXiA® Enterprise Software Suite, enabling pharmacists to focus more on patient care while improving operational efficiency.

We’re looking for passionate and driven individuals like YOU to help shape the future of healthcare. Join us and be part of a team that's changing the way pharmacy works—for the better.

Your Role & Its Purpose:

As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll own research and development (R&D) deliverables for customer-facing projects, helping iA Unleash the Full Potential of Pharmacy. You’ll partner with technical teams, the Project Management Office (PMO), Customer Support, Implementation, and other cross-functional stakeholders to ensure customer projects and support requests are received, prioritized within R&D, and delivered. From intake through completion, you’ll manage deliverables and status across active work, represent R&D to the stakeholders relying on that work, and keep them informed of progress, timelines, and risks.

You’ll also establish and maintain the process for bringing new work into R&D, with clear criteria for assessing, sequencing, and escalating requests. Planning ahead is central to this role: you’ll track upcoming projects and customer commitments and engage customer-facing partner teams well before key dates to identify timelines, deliverables, and risks early. The work is recurring, but project scope varies across multiple concurrent priorities.

To succeed, you’ll bring experience managing recurring projects in a technical environment, strong organizational and critical-thinking skills, and a collaborative approach. You’ll combine ownership, follow-through, and clear communication with the independence to lead without formal authority and build lasting project management processes from the ground up in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.

How You’ll Contribute:

• Proactively track upcoming projects, customer commitments, and known milestones — partnering with PMO and other teams well ahead of key dates to surface timelines, deliverables, and risks before they become urgent
• Define, implement, and continuously operate an intake and triage process for this work, including clear criteria for prioritization, turnaround expectations, and escalation paths
• Represent R&D to the stakeholders, including external customers on occasion, and teams who generate this work, acting as the primary point of contact for status, timelines, and expectations
• Negotiate how and when incoming work is absorbed into the standard development cycle, working with the TPM and technical teams in balancing it against already-committed plans and capacity
• Own end-to-end delivery of accepted work items — tracking progress and completion, and proactively communicating status and managing expectations with stakeholders and leadership throughout
• Maintain a current, accurate view of all in-flight work in this category — its status, risk, and owner — and provide regular reporting to program and functional leadership
• Anticipate recurring or upcoming demand where possible, and proactively negotiate capacity or sequencing ahead of known future events
• Build trust and influence across engineering, product, and business stakeholders to gain alignment on prioritization and turnaround expectations without formal authority
• Identify patterns across recurring work and drive process improvements that reduce volume, variability, or disruption over time
• Define and monitor intake SLAs and other performance metrics for this workstream, and use them to guide prioritization and continuous improvement
• Exercise sound judgment and escalate appropriately when incoming work introduces risk to already-committed plans
• Apply AI tools to streamline day-to-day work such as status reporting, documentation, and triage where appropriate

What You Bring to the Table:

• 5+ years managing recurring, ad hoc, or demand-driven work in a fast-paced technology environment
• Demonstrated experience establishing new intake, triage, or demand-management processes from the ground up in an ambiguous or unstructured environment
• Experience acting as a single point of accountability for delivery and status across multiple concurrent projects or workstreams
• Proven ability to lead without formal authority, building trust and alignment across cross-functional stakeholders
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with experience managing many concurrent, competing, and variable-priority items at once
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience communicating status and managing expectations with business and customer-facing stakeholders
• Comfortable partnering with technical teams to understand feasibility, dependencies, and risk, without requiring deep hands-on technical expertise
• BA/BS or equivalent experience required
• High degree of independence, ownership, and follow-through; comfortable operating with limited direction

Even Better If You Bring:

• Experience in demand management, intake management, or portfolio/PMO functions
• Experience defining and monitoring intake SLAs, escalation paths, or similar operational performance metrics
• PMP, PMI-ACP, or CSM certification
• Experience with case/issue tracking or work-intake tools
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps or equivalent software program management tools
• Demonstrated ability to design lightweight, scalable intake and triage processes
