Associate Product Manager — Alcumus
Associate Product Manager — Alcumus
I turn messy, cross-functional workflows into measurable outcomes—pairing hands-on build energy with crisp PRDs, AC, and KPIs. Healthcare IT background; strong with internal tools and CRM/ops integrations.
284 features • +40% velocity • 90%+ friction removed • 884 stories
Role-Match Summary
Alcumus is looking for an Associated Project Manager who is the voice of internal users, documents requirements, and ships enhancements across internal systems (Salesforce/Dynamics/Zuora), including AI/automation opportunities.
I’ve delivered 284 features end-to-end, lifted sprint velocity 40%, and eliminated 90%+ support friction by operationalizing decision logic and self-serve status. I own backlog quality, Acceptance Criteria (AC) / User Acceptance Testing (UAT), KPI dashboards, and cross-team releases—translating frontline pain into shipped outcomes.
Case Highlights
Retail POS iPad Status Tracker
- Problem: Intermittent iPad Wi-Fi drops during transactions with no reliable incident data across rotating retail staff.
- Action: Built a Microsoft Forms tracker; pushed the app icon to all iPads via Jamf; captured device IDs, timestamps, and notes to enable IT log correlation.
- Outcome: Ongoing use with trend analysis; isolated a problem area (American Store network) and created a repeatable reporting pattern for other iPad fleets.

Automated VPN Account Management
- Problem: Scattered VPN requests (tickets, chats, emails) and no audit trail, slowing onboarding and support.
- Action: Centralized intake via a 3-question Microsoft Form; generated strong passwords with a Python utility; added a Power Automate flow to email status/password directly from Excel Online.
- Outcome: Predictable cycle times, fewer escalations, and a lightweight but auditable process that scales to 250+ eligible users.

Simplifying SharePoint Documentation for Internal Support
- Problem: Critical fund info split across 3–6 Excel files per fund on SharePoint, increasing handle time and training burden.
- Action: Consolidated into a single “reference guide” per fund with tabbed structure; reduced clicks and standardized where reps find answers.
- Outcome: Faster answers (reduced hold/handle time), cleaner presentation for clients, and easier, quicker updates by the SharePoint team.

Perspective: Rapid Prototyping
I de-risk ideas with tiny, time-boxed experiments. Example: trained a personal LoRA on local hardware (RTX 3090) using open-source tooling to learn data prep, tagging, and eval loops—then applied those learnings to downstream projects. Result: faster iteration without sending sensitive assets to third parties.

Product Ops & PM Craft
- Backlog & Story Quality (Jira): Kept 2+ sprints “ready” at all times; wrote crisp user stories with measurable AC and attached UAT checklists to drive first-pass acceptance.
- Delivery Flow (Jira): Partnered with Engineering to deliver 884 stories (Jan 2023–Jan 2025) and drove a +40% sprint-velocity lift by improving story sizing, refinement, and goal clarity.
- Execution at Feature Level (Jira): Shipped 284 features end-to-end with definition-of-done including acceptance evidence and stakeholder sign-off.
- Quality & Risk (Jira): Tracked escaped defects and readiness; tightened AC/UAT to raise first-pass acceptance and reduce reopen churn.
- Stakeholder Transparency (HubSpot ↔ Jira): Linked HubSpot ticket requests to Jira so non-Jira users could self-serve status/acceptance evidence, cutting ad-hoc update pings.
- Operational Friction (HubSpot automations): Eliminated 90%+ internal support tickets & cross-team meetings via standardized decision notes (custom code, 30+ dynamic criteria) used by 17 Clinical Documentation Specialists.
Signature Wins
284 features shipped • 884 stories delivered • +40% sprint velocity • 90%+ friction removed • 17 CDS users supported by automated decision notes
30-Second Comp Pitch
