Technical Program Manager

Who We Are

Elixr Labs is a global tech company at the forefront of AI-led digital transformation across Health-Tech, GovTech, and Edutech. We help organizations innovate, boost efficiency, and scale through AI-accelerated IT solutions and custom digital products. Our flagship offerings—Banyan (a CC&C solution) and Healthverse (a virtual second-opinion expert)—enhance care delivery and outcomes. We also deliver tailored AI-powered services for hospitals, governments, and educational institutions. Headquartered in Trivandrum, India, with a growing global footprint, we co-create future-ready digital infrastructure with CXOs and institutions, delivering sustainable, people-first innovation.

What You'll Do

We are looking for a Techno Program Manager (TPM) to work closely with the CEO and leadership team to track, drive, and deliver multiple IT initiatives and product developments. This role requires a strong mix of technical understanding, program governance, execution rigor, and stakeholder management.

The TPM will act as the single point of accountability to ensure initiatives move from idea to delivery with clear timelines, dependencies, risks, and outcomes.

What You Will Work On

Program & Initiative Management

· Own end-to-end tracking of multiple concurrent IT initiatives and products driven by the CEO.

· Break down high-level ideas into clear programs, milestones, deliverables, and timelines.

· Establish and maintain program plans, roadmaps, and execution dashboards.

· Ensure alignment between business objectives, technology choices, and delivery outcomes.

Technical & Product Oversight

· Work closely with architects, developers, QA, DevOps, and vendors to track technical progress.

· Review and understand architecture, design decisions, and technical risks (not coding, but informed oversight).

· Ensure adherence to engineering best practices, security, scalability, and quality standards.

· Track MVPs, PoCs, and iterative releases for products.

Governance & Reporting

· Set up program governance frameworks (status reviews, risk tracking, decision logs).

· Track dependencies, risks, issues, and mitigation plans across initiatives.

· Provide weekly/bi-weekly executive-ready updates to the CEO with clear insights, not just status.

· Drive a sense of urgency and accountability across teams.

Stakeholder & Communication Management

• Act as a bridge between CEO, business stakeholders, and technical teams.
  
• Facilitate decision-making by presenting options, trade-offs, and impact analysis.
  
• Coordinate across multiple internal teams and external partners.
  

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Introduce lightweight but effective program management processes and tools.
  
• Promote data-driven tracking using KPIs and OKRs.
  
• Help move the organization from people dependency to process dependency where applicable.
