Technical Project Manager

In a nutshell Title: Technical Project Manager
Location: UK Remote
Days/week: Full Time

The Who, What, Where, When & Why

Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) builds immersive, scenario-based simulations that help clinicians learn safely and deliver better patient care. We are redefining education and training in healthcare and academia with AI-powered immersive simulation.

As the company continues to grow and embark on a series of new strategic partnerships we have a role for an experienced project manager from a software or technology development background to join our Product Department to organise, coordinate and drive forward a variety of projects.

What you will be doing:

You will be managing multiple projects of varying size and complexity across infrastructure, compliance, third-party delivery, and platform development. Some work will be long-running “missions” that continuously improve core components; other projects will have fixed deliverables over weeks or months. Early on, you’ll review our delivery tooling and ways of working (including Jira) and help us improve how we plan, track and communicate delivery as we scale.

You will:

• Act as Scrum Master on our ongoing missions.

• Take projects from scoping and quarterly planning through to clear project plans and Jira epics/stories.

• Lead shorter-term delivery, including coordinating with key clients on fast-turnaround integration projects.

• Drive delivery in a fast-paced, changeable environment.

• Coordinate across teams to ensure ownership is clear and nothing falls through the gaps.

• Ensure compliance work is scoped, planned and delivered on time, including coordinating annual penetration testing and remediation tracking with third parties.

• Work closely with the Head of Product, Heads of Engineering, Product Owners and delivery teams to make dependencies visible and understood.

• Provide regular written and verbal status updates to our Product Board.

• Maintain clear visibility of risks, decisions and escalations.

• Proactively troubleshoot delivery issues and remove blockers.

• Use AI and automation tools sensibly to improve reporting, ticket hygiene and ways of working (in line with OMS security and data handling expectations).

Who you are:

• You are an experienced and pro-active project manager with the skills to coordinate and drive forward multiple projects.

• You know how to jump in, build context quickly and navigate in a busy development environment with a large variety of projects going on

• With many of our projects having an R&D element you are able to cope with a changing product landscape.

• You are able to communicate confidently and clearly about complex problems and get to the heart of challenging problems.

• You are an organiser and a planner. You also understand that much of our work is cutting edge and you know how to run projects with high degrees of uncertainty.

• You realise that our team members are individuals with different contributions to make and you know how to use this knowledge to deliver the best outcomes for our projects.

• You are adept at balancing the short, medium and long term needs of our business and understanding the trade-offs that need to be made in any growing technology based business.

• You have a keen desire to understand the product you are helping to build in great detail and to use that understanding to help deliver on the projects.

Required skills:

• Fully competent with Atlassian products like: Jira and Confluence

• Understanding of Cloud Hosting and Infrastructure

• Experience of acting in a Scrum Master capacity in an Agile working environment

• Significant experience delivering projects in software/technology development environments (typically ~8–12+ years, though we hire on capability and evidence of impact rather than years alone). You don’t need to code, but you do need strong technical fluency and the ability to ramp up quickly in a complex environment.

Bonus points for any of the following:

• Experience of the Healthcare sector

• Experience with products making use of LLMs

• Experience with products making use of Virtual Reality or Games development

You will not enjoy this role if:

• You prefer work where priorities stay stable week to week and plans rarely change.

• You want complete requirements and certainty before starting delivery.

• You prefer single-project focus rather than juggling multiple parallel workstreams and frequent context-switching.

• You want a role where someone else does the prioritisation triage and you “just run the plan”.

• You dislike being the person who drives clarity: surfacing risks early, pushing decisions through, and escalating when needed.

• You’re not comfortable owning delivery mechanics end-to-end (plans, dependencies, Jira hygiene, and stakeholder updates).

• You don’t enjoy proactively removing blockers through persistent communication across teams and external partners.

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role with a lot of autonomy and a fast learning curve.
