About The Position

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes. Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients. Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise. Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future. As the Senior Project Manager for the Ancillary Portfolio, you will be a key project leader responsible for driving a portfolio of critical initiatives to completion within a large-scale Oracle Health (Cerner) Millennium EHR implementation. In this role, you will be accountable for the entire project lifecycle—from planning and execution to risk management and stakeholder communication—for all assigned projects. You will ensure that clinical and ancillary projects are delivered on time, within scope, and in alignment with program objectives managing multiple projects concurrently, spanning various clinical and ancillary domains (e.g., Lab, Radiology, Pharmacy, Core Clinical). You will be responsible for developing detailed project schedules, facilitating cross-functional teams, and providing clear, concise status updates to executive leadership.
