We’re looking for a talented Technical Programme Manager to join Isla’s Delivery team. In this client-facing role, you’ll lead NHS implementation projects, manage onboarding, and build strong relationships with users to ensure they get the most out of the Isla platform. You’ll work closely with customers to resolve issues, support renewals, and guide adoption - helping our technology have real impact in complex healthcare environments.
As you grow in the role, you’ll develop expertise in our platform and influence its future direction to meet the needs of our NHS partners. If you’re ambitious, motivated, and enjoy building strong relationships while driving meaningful outcomes, this is a great role for you.
Who We Are
Isla Health is a venture-backed health-tech startup, supporting our partners across the UK, EU and internationally beyond this. We have built a new category of healthcare technology which we refer to as the Digital Pathway Platform (DPP). Founded in 2019, we now support 25% of NHS Trusts and see 2 million submissions on the platform every year.
As a company we are all laser focused on enabling a scalable model of care which empowers healthcare staff and improves patient outcomes. The DPP supports this by setting up digital pathways which are remote-first and asynchronous. As pathways harness sophisticated automation, clinical algorithms and intelligent cohorting, patients always take the optimised route through their pathway, thereby delivering a step change in clinical productivity.
The Team
As we build the Delivery team you will be working closely with all aspects of the business, from Sales right through to Product and Engineering. You will be reporting directly to our Director of Delivery to ensure you're developing professionally, are happy and motivated as well as being exposed to the wider business & health context that we are working in. The people around you will be high performing and will expect a lot from you.
