Job Description

GDIT is looking for an EHR Service Line Implementation Lead who will be responsible for planning, managing, and delivering enterprise‑level Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation efforts across the Federal Health Division .

This role leads multi‑site, multi‑discipline teams to execute readiness, deployment, activation, and sustainment of federal EHR modernization initiatives. The position ensures standardized processes, operational excellence, and alignment with federal health program requirements.

This role is remote with some travel to customer sites.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development, execution, and continuous improvement of the EHR Service Line implementation framework, including standardized workflows, governance, and deployment models.
• Drive full lifecycle EHR implementation activities: readiness, site activation, cutover planning, hypercare, training coordination, validation, and transition to operations.
• Manage cross‑functional teams—technical, clinical, integration, PMO, training, cybersecurity—to ensure aligned, compliant, and high‑quality delivery.
• Partner with federal customers (IHS, HHS, VA, DoW) and technology partners to ensure program alignment, stakeholder engagement, and effective execution.
• Oversee risk, issue, and dependency management across a portfolio of deployments.
• Establish and report implementation metrics, measure readiness, and ensure adherence to gating criteria.
• Ensure all implementations align with federal standards, including RMF, NIST, ATO pathways, and contract‑specific requirements.
• Support resource planning, workforce scaling, and operational coordination within the EHR Service Line.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors and 10+ years leading EHR implementation efforts in federal environments (IHS, VA/DoW, HHS, CMS or related).
• Experience managing large, multi‑site deployments across technical and clinical workflows.
• Strong understanding of EHR platforms (Oracle Health/Cerner preferred; Epic or RPMS modernization experience also valued).
• Demonstrated ability to engage senior federal stakeholders and navigate complex federal contracting environments.
• Expertise in federal IT standards, including RMF, NIST SP 800‑53, data security, and ATO requirements.

• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting IHS PATH or other large‑scale federal health EHR modernization programs.
• PMP, SAFe, ITIL, or health IT certifications.
• Background in workflow optimization, interoperability, or clinical informatics.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and cross‑team coordination skills.
