The Operations Project Manager works closely with clinical, operations, IT, and vendor stakeholders to move initiatives from intake all the way through close. You'll be responsible for managing scope, schedule, budget, risk, and change, while keeping leaders in the loop through clear, concise reporting. This is a hands-on role with a good amount of administrative and coordination responsibility, including maintaining project documentation, plans, trackers, schedules, and dashboards; organizing meetings and follow ups; and helping build out the standards, templates, tools, and reporting practices for a growing PMO. By applying structured project management discipline (PMI/PMBOK), this role helps ensure initiatives launch on time and with expected quality/ROI across multiple sites and deliver measurable operational and patient-care outcomes.</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
