Full Job Description
Project Manager - Transformation Management Office

Help Turn Strategy Into Results

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager - Transformation to join our Transformation Management Office (TMO) and lead complex, high-impact strategic initiatives across the organization.

This is not a traditional project management role focused primarily on schedules, status reports, and task tracking. You will work on some of the organization's most important transformation priorities, partnering with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to take initiatives from strategy and concept through execution, adoption, and measurable results.

The right person is highly organized and analytical, but also knows how to influence, solve problems, navigate ambiguity, and keep teams moving. You will have meaningful ownership, exposure to senior leadership, and the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across a large, multi-site healthcare organization.

What You'll Do

Own Strategic Initiatives From Concept to Results

Take ownership of assigned transformation initiatives from initial planning through implementation and stabilization. Your work does not end at launch. You will help ensure changes are adopted, performance is measured, and intended business outcomes are achieved and sustained.

Lead Complex, Cross-Functional Execution

Drive initiatives involving operational, clinical, technology, and corporate teams. Coordinate workstreams, establish accountability, manage dependencies, anticipate risks, and keep teams focused on key milestones and outcomes.

Build the Roadmap

Translate strategic priorities into clear, actionable workplans. Define activities, milestones, dependencies, owners, sequencing, and resources so teams understand what needs to happen and when.

Use Data to Drive Decisions

Collect, analyze, and interpret data to evaluate initiative performance, identify risks and opportunities, and help leaders make informed decisions. Establish meaningful measures of success and monitor whether initiatives are delivering the expected value.

Create Alignment and Accountability

Partner closely with Initiative Owners, functional leaders, and team members across the organization. Facilitate productive discussions, resolve roadblocks, follow up with owners, and ensure commitments translate into action.

Communicate With Senior Leadership

Develop clear, concise updates and presentations that communicate progress, performance, risks, decisions, and next steps. Support reporting and discussions with senior leadership and the Board as needed.

Bring a Strategic Perspective

Understand how individual initiatives connect to broader organizational priorities. Bring forward insights from the work, identify emerging challenges, and help leaders determine where adjustments may be needed to achieve the desired outcome.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who can operate with a high degree of autonomy and is comfortable taking ownership in an environment where not every answer is known at the outset.

Required Qualifications
  • 4+ years of project or program management experience, preferably supporting strategic, enterprise, or transformation initiatives
  • Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional projects from concept through implementation
  • Experience managing multiple workstreams, dependencies, milestones, risks, and competing priorities
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into insights, recommendations, and action
  • Ability to build project plans, implementation roadmaps, and structured workplans from broad strategic objectives
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, including experience communicating with senior leaders
  • Ability to influence and create accountability across teams without relying on direct authority
  • Proven ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, solve problems, and drive work forward
  • Experience with project management tools such as Smartsheet, Asana, Trello, or similar platforms

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience within a multi-site healthcare or behavioral health organization
  • Experience supporting enterprise transformation, organizational change, or strategic initiatives
  • Management consulting experience or experience working in a consulting-style internal role
  • PMP or other relevant project/program management certification

You'll Be Successful Here If You Are

An owner. You do not wait for someone else to identify the next step. You see what needs to happen and help make it happen.

Analytical. You are comfortable working with data and can distinguish activity from actual results.

Comfortable with complexity. You can bring structure to ambiguous problems, manage multiple moving pieces, and adjust when priorities evolve.

A strong communicator. You can work effectively with people at different levels of the organization and communicate complex information clearly and concisely.

Persistent and accountable. You follow through, ask the right questions, surface risks early, and are comfortable holding others accountable to commitments.

Strategically curious. You want to understand not only what needs to be done, but why it matters and whether the work is producing the intended outcome.

Mission-driven. You believe addiction is a brain disease, not a moral failing, and demonstrate hope, respect, and compassion in your interactions with patients and fellow team members.

Work Environment
  • Hybrid or on-site work environment based on company needs and policies
  • Occasional travel for business meetings, training, or conferences
  • Fast-paced environment with periods of high activity and multiple concurrent priorities
  • Regular collaboration with leaders and teams across the organization

Why This Role Matters

Our Transformation Management Office is responsible for helping move the organization's most important strategic priorities from idea to execution to impact.

As Project Manager - Transformation, you will sit at the center of that work. You will have the opportunity to tackle complex business challenges, work across functions, partner with senior leaders, and help ensure major strategic initiatives deliver the results they were designed to achieve.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complexity, turning strategy into action, and seeing the measurable impact of your work, we'd like to hear from you.
