ABOUT THE POSITION

The Senior Director, Project Management directly manages a team of Project Managers and owns the client facing project management function. This role requires management, development and growth of a team of project managers that support our consulting and managed services projects. In addition, this role is accountable for development and execution of our client-facing project operating model, including delivery standards, implementation tools, staffing approach and performance management. This role is vital in helping ensure effective financial reporting, project budgeting, project forecasting, and at a more aggregate level utilization management. The Senior Director partners closely with Finance, Field Operations, and Client Services Leaders, with frequent interaction with Visante’s senior leadership, to strengthen our operational execution, where client satisfaction and on-budget financial performance is key. This role primarily supports contracted projects and is expected to operate as an architect behind the scenes—equipping Project Managers to lead proactively, own outcomes, deliver to contractual standards and manage financial performance.

Our team and organization is rapidly growing, and we seek an innovative leader, brining a strong track record of building world-class project delivery and project management teams and operations who will enhance Visante’s Project Management team by redefining accountabilities, elevating expectations, and building a delivery function that drives measurable client outcomes and financial accountability.

This role requires substantive collaboration and partnership with our client facing executive sponsors, Client Success executives, service leaders, consultants and field services teams, plus strong working relationships with finance, human resources and our other support functions.

Principle Duties and Responsibilities

• Builds Visante’s PM team from administrative coordination to proactive delivery leadership that drives client outcomes and financial accountability.
• Defines what ‘great delivery’ means at Visante and equips Project Managers to lead workstreams, anticipate needs, and influence cross-functional contributors to achieve client outcomes.
• Owns utilization management and project budget performance expectations for the PM team; establishes the routines, controls, and behaviors that improve forecast accuracy, burn transparency, and corrective action.
• Creates clear portfolio-level visibility (status, risks, dependencies, financial signals) and ensures risks are surfaced early with options and recommendations for leadership decisions.
• Establishes and enforces delivery standards, templates, and governance that are lightweight enough for speed but strong enough to drive consistency, accountability, and repeatable results.
• Redesigns PM staffing and role expectations to support a sustainable skill mix; ensures PM capacity is used for high-value delivery leadership while administrative work is minimized or reallocated.
• Owns project management tools and platforms (e.g., Monday.com, NetSuite project setup, Teams/SharePoint practices) and leads platform changes when needed to improve efficiency and decision-quality.
• Develops a high-performing PM team through hiring, coaching, clear performance standards, and decisive action when expectations are not met.
• Partners as a peer with Finance, Solution Leaders, Field Operations, and Client Success to align delivery execution with business objectives; drives shared accountability for outcomes and financial performance.
• Leads change across the PMO and adjacent stakeholders to embed new expectations, routines, and delivery behaviors; ensures changes are adopted and sustained, not just documented.

Required : Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, Health Administration, or a related field. In lieu of Bachelor’s degree, 6 years of relevant experience.

Preferred: Advanced degree (MBA, MHA, or similar).

Experience

Required: 10+ years of project/program/delivery leadership experience within consulting, professional services, managed services, or healthcare-related environments. 5+ years of direct people leadership experience managing Project Managers, including setting expectations, performance management, and team builds.
