About the jobAs Senior Project Manager, Strategic Implementation, you will lead the end-to-end execution of new market launches, new contract implementations, and other high-priority strategic initiatives that fuel Vynca's growth. This is a build role: you will design and implement the frameworks, governance, and tools, standing up a repeatable implementation function. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders across the organization to move initiatives from signed contract to live, revenue-generating operations. Success in this role requires equal parts structure and adaptability: the discipline of formal project management combined with the resourcefulness to operate in a fast-moving healthcare startup.
What you'll do- Own end-to-end project management for new market entries, contract implementations or new lines of business, from kickoff through go-live and post-launch stabilization.
- Build the project management function and infrastructure for the organization - including governance models, intake processes, status reporting cadences, and playbooks.
- Translate signed contracts and new-market business cases into detailed implementation plans with clear milestones, dependencies, owners, and timelines.
- Lead cross-functional project teams spanning operations, account management, sales, analytics, marketing, compliance, product, IT, RCM and finance, holding workstream owners accountable without direct authority.
- Partner with and influence leaders at all levels of the organization, from front-line managers to the executive team, to align priorities and resolve roadblocks quickly.
- Design and implement value-based care program operations, coordinating readiness across teams.
- Identify risks and issues early, drive mitigation plans, and escalate proactively to leadership with clear options and recommendations.
- Apply Lean and process-improvement principles to continuously simplify and scale implementation processes as the company grows.
- Establish and track key implementation metrics (timeline adherence, milestone completion, launch readiness, post-launch performance) and report progress to executive leadership.
- Develop and maintain standard operating procedures and change-management plans to support each new market or contract launch.
- Ensure all implementation activities comply with applicable healthcare regulations and payer-specific requirements.
- Continuously improve the implementation playbook based on lessons learned, building institutional knowledge that makes each subsequent launch faster and lower-risk.
Your experience and qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Operations, or a related field; advanced degree a plus, preferred.
- Minimum of 5-8 years of project management experience, including leading complex, value-based initiatives in a health-tech start-up environment.
- Demonstrated experience implementing new markets, new contracts, or new lines of business, ideally within a startup or high-growth environment.
- Experience with or strong working knowledge of value-based care and value-based payment program design and operations.
- Track record of building processes, structure, and tools from scratch rather than optimizing an existing, mature function.
- Exceptional cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and align leaders at all levels of an organization.
- Strong executive presence and communication skills, including comfort presenting plans, risks, and results to senior leadership.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities typical of an early-to-growth-stage healthcare company.
- PMP certification, required.
- Lean, Six Sigma, or other process-improvement certification or working knowledge, preferred.
- Knowledge of healthcare compliance requirements, including HIPAA and payer contracting standards, preferred.
