Responsibilities

Execution & Tactical Planning: Translate organizational objectives into detailed project workplans, including clear sequencing, dependencies, resource allocation, and risk mitigation strategies.
PMO Leadership: Lead high-stakes transformational initiatives. You must be able to go "two layers deep" into any problem to ensure execution matches the intended strategy.
Account Recovery (Go-To-Green): Own the "Go-To-Green" (GTG) process for at-risk clients. Establish a rigorous cadence for monitoring metrics and intervening with actionable recovery plans.
Collaborative Architecture: Partner with cross-functional teams to build scalable solutions that improve efficiency, ensuring these solutions are "sticky" and well-integrated into daily operations.
Stakeholder Influence: Navigate complex people dynamics—particularly with physicians and senior leadership—to negotiate and drive change management.
