• Experience working with enterprise applications and multiple business domains.
• Proven ability to coordinate internal teams, technical resources, vendors, and outsourced partners.

• Ability to establish and consistently apply repeatable processes across multiple projects.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to operate independently, manage ambiguity, and bring structure to a complex and evolving program.
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Healthcare Administration, Information Technology, or a related field.

Required Experience

• Experience with Workday, Lawson, Blackboard, SIS/LMS, or other enterprise applications.
• Enterprise archiving platforms such as NOGALIS, MediQuant,, Triyam, Trinisys, or Galen.
