About The Position

As a Project Manager, you will lead complex client implementations from kickoff through go-live, serving as the trusted leader responsible for delivery, communication, and client confidence. You bring structure to ambiguity, anticipate risks before they become issues, and drive projects forward with urgency and accountability. Success in this role is less about prior healthcare benefits experience and more about your ability to learn quickly, think critically, communicate effectively, and build trusted relationships. You are naturally curious, exceptionally organized, and continually ask, 'What does the client need next?' and 'How will they receive this message?' You create confidence through preparation, follow-through, and leadership.
