Support the development of business cases by collaborating with business leaders, finance teams, and technology partners.
Drive execution of complex cross-departmental programs from initiation through completion.
Develop and maintain critical path schedules, business milestones, and program roadmaps.
Manage program budgets and financial tracking, ensuring expenses align with approved funding and business objectives.
Identify resource needs, support staffing efforts, and continuously evaluate program resource requirements.
Monitor program performance and provide regular updates to executive leadership, governance committees, and portfolio management teams.
Facilitate executive steering committee meetings and prepare executive-level presentations and status reports.
Coordinate activities across business readiness, communications, process design, technology delivery, training, and operational readiness teams.
Manage risks, issues, dependencies, and escalations while driving timely decision-making and resolution.
Hold project teams and stakeholders accountable for deliverables, commitments, and timelines.
Support Product Managers, Product Owners, and business readiness teams in aligning expectations and achieving program outcomes.
Participate in Agile planning and delivery activities to ensure cross-functional alignment.
Lead and mentor project managers while providing guidance through complex project challenges.
Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders, business leaders, technology teams, and external vendors.
Foster collaboration across cross-functional teams consisting of business, technology, operational, and executive stakeholders.
Successfully operate in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities and ambiguous requirements.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
8+ years of related professional experience
3+ years of experience leading complex, cross-departmental programs and managing teams of project managers in the Healthcare payer industry
