• System‑wide capacity management and patient throughput improvements

• Maintain PMO governance while navigating dynamic, fast‑paced environments
• Provide clear, concise reporting and communication to senior stakeholders

Tools & Technologies (Nice to Have)

• Healthcare capacity and command center platforms
• Operator and scheduling systems
• AI-enabled patient access tools
• Project and workflow management platforms (e.g., ServiceNow or similar)

What We’re Looking For

• A “doer” who can execute as effectively as they plan
• Someone who can confidently communicate across both technical and operational audiences
• A leader who is comfortable operating in a fast‑moving, less structured (“build as you go”) environment
• Experience rooted in health system operations or enterprise PMO functions (not purely IT‑focused roles)

Why Join

This is an opportunity to shape and deliver transformation initiatives that directly impact patient access, operational efficiency, and healthcare delivery at scale. You’ll work on high‑visibility programs with meaningful organizational impact.
