r1rcm; United States; On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

R1 is seeking a Senior Manager to lead PhareOS implementations, guiding health systems from scoping to go-live. You will manage multi-workstream deployments, align product, engineering and data teams, and serve as the primary client contact.

The role blends project leadership with technical oversight of data integrations and risk management. You will engage IT leadership, coordinate across teams, and shape our deployment playbooks while balancing client-facing work with internal delivery.

Qualifications

• 7+ years leading multi-workstream healthcare technology implementations involving complex data integrations and change management.
• Experience managing executive-level relationships within health systems.
• Experience with healthcare data and revenue cycle workflows.
• Technical depth to oversee complex data integrations and make informed decisions without hands-on work.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage audiences from client executives to working-level team members.
• Ability to get up to speed quickly and lead your own workstreams within the first few months.
• Preferred: PMP or similar project management certification.
• Preferred: experience with HL7v2, FHIR and other common healthcare data types.

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple PhareOS implementations concurrently, from kickoff through go-live, building and overseeing project plans that span technical, operational and client-facing activities.
• Own the relationship with client IT leadership, understanding how health system IT organizations operate, make decisions and set priorities, and using that insight to build trust and sustain engagement.
• Serve as a confident, capable and empathetic representative of R1 at every level of the client organization, anticipating questions and concerns and communicating proactively, in writing and in person.
• Run project meetings and drive decisions, clarifying who is responsible for what, by when, and which items require escalation.
• Oversee technical implementation progress, particularly data onboarding, coordinating with our technical delivery teams so client data lands on schedule while staying close enough to the details to make decisions when input is required.
• Proactively identify project and technical risks and mobilize the right resources to address them before they materialize.
• Coordinate product, engineering, operations and capability teams in support of go-lives, ensuring the extended project team presents as one team to the client and feeding implementation learnings back to internal teams.
• Shape best practices in our deployments; where precedent does not exist, use sound judgment to choose a path, execute, and codify it into a repeatable implementation playbook.
