• Ability to travel up to 80% as required.
• Must be eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred; 10–15 years of relevant program management experience accepted in lieu of degree.
• Certified Scrum Master (Scrum Alliance), Agile Project Management (IC Agile), or Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI).
• Healthcare IT experience strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting Scaled Agile frameworks across large health system environments.
• Strong executive communication skills across IT and business leadership audiences.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Sharp, strategic program leader with the ability to manage large, complex initiatives from inception through completion.
• Equally strong in Agile and traditional project management — knows when to apply which approach.
• Motivating coach who can guide Scrum teams while keeping program-level accountability intact.
• Comfortable operating in a complex, iterative environment with shifting priorities and intersecting goals.
• Brings structure, transparency, and continuous improvement to every program they lead.
