About The Position
The Enterprise Mandates Delivery team implements large, cross-functional mandates with significant technology impacts arising from federal, state, county, and BCBSA requirements. The Project Manager, Principal is a senior individual contributor who reports to the Senior Director. Approximately 50% of the role is dedicated to directly leading a complex enterprise regulatory mandate, with the remainder supporting team governance and operations, including data validation, reporting, process and tool improvements, risk escalation, knowledge sharing, business continuity planning, and consistent use of Planview, Archer, and SharePoint. The role leads highly complex, enterprise-wide projects and programs with cross-functional, technology, financial, and regulatory impacts. It provides strategic alignment across projects and programs, manages delivery from initiation through completion, and promotes continuous improvement. The position leads through influence and subject-matter expertise rather than direct people management, while supporting project managers and cross-functional partners. The role partners with Business, IT, Compliance, Legal, Finance, and other stakeholders to deliver regulatory commitments and mandated deadlines. It also oversees portfolio governance and executive reporting, advances Archer as a mandate-tracking and reporting tool, maintains delivery procedures and controls, strengthens audit readiness and business continuity, and coaches team members on delivery practices.
