Purpose Statement/Position Summary: The Strategic Research Initiatives team is seeking a Project Manager to support the execution of Research Operations strategic initiatives. This role will help advance key priorities by combining strategic project management, governance support, and reporting and analytics transformation. The ideal candidate will bring a balanced skill set—pairing structured project delivery with a hands-on, operational mindset—and the ability to translate business needs into actionable, data-driven insights. This position plays a critical role in driving the adoption of new processes, tools, and reporting capabilities while collaborating closely with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

The Project Manager is responsible for leading project execution to ensure high-quality, timely, and cost-effective results.

This role also supports HR-related initiatives, handling sensitive information with discretion to help shape and implement effective management policies.

Minimum Qualifications/Work Experience:

• 5+ years of progressive experience required; project management experience in health care preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to determine key business issues and develop appropriate action plans from multi disciplinary perspectives.

• Demonstrated ability to conduct and interpret quantitative and qualitative analyses.

• The majority of work will be conducted remotely and involves significant screen time for virtual meetings. At times, in-person participation will be necessary to lead meetings and support project delivery.

• This position requires a highly motivated, self-directed individual who can work independently while collaborating with and receiving guidance from the Strategic Research Initiatives Manager.

• Candidates must be based in California and able to travel to the Los Angeles campus for up to four meetings per month.

Preferred:
