This is not a traditional project management role. You are a strategic execution leader-someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, mobilize cross-functional teams, and drive initiatives from concept through adoption in a highly matrixed, multi-site environment.
You will own the full lifecycle of key initiatives, ensuring work is clearly defined, effectively executed, and delivers measurable impact.

Organize, Mobilize & Lead Teams - Lead cross-functional teams through coordinated efforts in Operations, Medical, Marketing, Finance, HR, and Technology.
- Establish clear roles, responsibilities, and workflows to ensure alignment and accountability.
- Facilitate all project activities, ensuring teams remain coordinated, engaged, and progressing toward shared outcomes.
- Deliver concise, actionable updates and translate complex work into clear narratives tailored to all levels of the organization. Including anchoring communications in "Why / Why Now / WIIFM" to support engagement and adoption.
Execution & Delivery Excellence - Drive execution with rigor-managing timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables across multiple concurrent initiatives.
- Ensure initiatives are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to intended business outcomes.
- Maintain strong operational discipline through structured workplans, tracking mechanisms, and regular execution cadences.
- Anticipate challenges, mitigate risks, and adjust plans quickly while maintaining momentum and team alignment.
- Define success metrics, track progress against KPIs, and report on outcomes, risks, and trends to ensure initiatives deliver expected results.
Qualifications: - 5-10+ years of experience leading complex, cross-functional programs or projects.
- Proven ability to manage full project lifecycle-from concept through execution and evaluation.
- Experience in multi-site healthcare, retail, or service-based environments preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence without authority
Benefits: - Competitive salary ($100-$130,000 range) and comprehensive benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
