Senior Project Manager - Healthcare

Creature•Birmingham, AL

4d•Onsite

About The Position

Creature is a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) company built to eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional construction. We align design, preconstruction, field operations, and self-perform trades into one system so projects move faster, cleaner, and with greater reliability. The purpose of this role is to own the health of Creature's healthcare project portfolio — not any single job, but the program of jobs and the people running them. This role exists so clients across the healthcare portfolio get the same discipline and access no matter which PM is assigned, and so PMs get developed into that level of ownership instead of left to find it alone.

Requirements

8+ years of project management experience in construction, with direct experience delivering healthcare projects (ground-up, renovation, or both)
Demonstrated experience mentoring, coaching, or formally leading other project managers — not just running a bigger project alone
Deep understanding of healthcare-specific compliance: ICRA, AHCA (or state equivalent), infection control coordination
Strong financial acumen — comfortable owning forecasting and margin performance across a portfolio, not just a single job
Proficiency with Procore, PowerBI, and Excel

Nice To Haves

Experience in a self-perform or vertically integrated design-build environment
Experience managing a portfolio or multiple concurrent projects tied to a shared client relationship
CHC or equivalent healthcare construction credential

Responsibilities

Lead delivery across every active healthcare project without running any one of them directly.
Hold each PM accountable for their own schedule, scope, and execution, and catch the portfolio-level pattern — the risk repeating across three jobs that looks like noise on any single one — before it becomes a program problem.
Own gross margin and forecasting in aggregate across the healthcare program.
Serve as the senior point of accountability for Creature's healthcare client relationships.
Ensure every contract in the program actually protects the margin it was written to protect.
Lead, coach, and hold accountable every PM assigned to the healthcare program.
Build a bench of PMs capable of running a healthcare client relationship and contract independently.
Drive proactive risk management and compliance — safety, ICRA, schedule — across the healthcare portfolio.
Serve as the connective tissue between Design, Precon, and Field for healthcare work, and surface systemic issues to the Director of Project Management before they surface as a client complaint.
