About The Position

Empower Community Care is seeking a dedicated, operations-focused Project Manager to drive infrastructure development, planning discipline, and cross-functional coordination within the EBP (evidence-based practice) division. This role involves classic project management fundamentals such as planning, scheduling, risk management, budget and resource tracking, and performance reporting, alongside hands-on operational work. This includes consolidating workflows, managing organizational transitions, designing and documenting scalable practices, and managing the development of new products and resources within Empower’s clinical models. A key aspect of this role is partnering with leadership, including the C-suite, to translate strategic priorities into operational plans and drive their execution. Fluency with automation and AI tools is a foundational requirement for this role, expected to be applied across various operational tasks. Success requires close collaboration with Clinical, Finance, Technology, HR, and Sales & Marketing teams to ensure operational changes are clinically sound, financially sustainable, well-positioned, and competently executed. The role also serves as a resource for general process improvement and automation.

Working proficiency with automation and AI-enabled tools, and demonstrated ability to apply them to streamline processes, reporting, and daily operational work.
Strong organizational, planning, and process-documentation skills.
Comfort working across ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives.
Budget and financial-model literacy.
Clear written and verbal communication with both internal teams and external partners.
Experience presenting to senior leadership and executives.
Able to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple concurrent priorities and shifting between hands-on execution, higher-level process design, and executive-facing strategic planning.
Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check.
Must maintain strict confidentiality and comply with Empower’s internal data governance and confidentiality policies.
