About The Position

The Project Manager is responsible for leading projects across our EMR and clinical applications ecosystem. You’ll coordinate work between clinical operations, IT, Data, Revenue Cycle, and external vendors to implement, improve, and standardize systems that support clinicians and back-office teams.

Minimum 3–5 years of project management experience
Strong knowledge of project management methodologies, tools, and best practices.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience leading EMR/EHR projects
Familiarity with healthcare regulations and concepts (HIPAA, PHI, clinical documentation, revenue cycle basics).
Experience with integrations between EMR/clinical systems and other business applications.
Experience with data mapping between systems and comfort reviewing data dictionaries / file layouts.
Ability to write or interpret basic SQL queries (e.g., to validate records, counts, or simple joins) is a plus.
Project management certification (e.g., PMP, CAPM, CSM, PMI-ACP) is a plus, not a requirement.
