Requirements - At least five years of project management experience leading complex, cross-functional work. - A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. - A record of independently delivering high-impact projects with competing priorities and executive visibility. - Strong judgment, organization, and follow-through, including the ability to bring structure to changing or ambiguous situations. - Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn complex information into actionable plans for technical and non-technical audiences. - Skill in stakeholder management and influencing teams and senior leaders without direct authority. - Experience with project management platforms such as Asana, Smartsheet, ClickUp, monday.com, or similar tools; comfort with modern collaboration and AI tools.
Nice to have - Experience in healthcare, health technology, SaaS, or another fast-paced environment. - PMP or an equivalent project management certification.
