Senior Program Manager

The Role — Senior Program Manager (Patient Services Operations)

The Patient Services Operations (PSO) team is central to Blink’s ability to deliver affordable medications and a best-in-class patient experience at scale. As the business grows in client complexity, product surface area, and operational volume, disciplined cross-functional execution is increasingly critical. The Program Management function within PSO ensures high-impact initiatives translate into operationally sound, scalable execution. The team drives structured planning, stakeholder alignment, risk management, and governance across client onboarding, product launches, go-to-market initiatives, and scaling efforts. Program Management serves as the connective tissue across Operations, Product, Engineering, Growth, and other internal partners—ensuring strategic priorities are delivered with clarity, accountability, and operational rigor.

The Senior Program Manager, Patient Services Operations will lead complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, serving as the single-threaded owner for operational readiness and execution. This role ensures launches are delivered on time, stakeholders remain aligned, risks are proactively mitigated, and durable operational frameworks are built to support scale. Success in this role requires a seasoned, hands-on execution leader with strong systems thinking—able to create clarity in ambiguity, connect cross-functional interdependencies, anticipate downstream impacts, and drive alignment without authority while embedding repeatable program management standards across PSO and partner teams.

This will be an on-site position based within our Pittsburgh, PA office.
