What You'll Be Doing:
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Project Manager, Strategic Initiatives to lead the day-to-day execution, coordination, and rollout of multiple AI agents and human-AI workflows across the enterprise. Reporting to the Director, Strategic Initiatives (AI Transformation), this role turns transformation strategy into disciplined delivery: building and maintaining integrated plans, driving cross-functional workstreams, managing risks and dependencies, and ensuring each AI-enabled workflow moves from pilot to production with the training, controls, and measurement needed to sustain it. The successful candidate will be an organized, hands-on project leader who thrives in ambiguity, communicates crisply across technical and operational audiences, and keeps complex, parallel implementations on schedule.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead day-to-day execution of AI-enabled workflow implementations, managing project plans, deliverables, and dependencies across multiple parallel initiatives.
Partner cross-functionally to lead the operationalization of AI agents and human-AI operating models, ensuring a sequenced rollout plan with appropriate stage gates, go/no-go criteria, and monitoring and oversight.
Lead change management strategy and execution, ensuring end-user readiness and adoption activities, including standard operating procedures, job aids, training sessions, and communications.
Define and track AI agent implementation performance, adoption, operational outcomes, and key success metrics; provide leadership reporting and recommendations for continuous improvement.
Manage project risks, issues, dependencies, and decisions, escalating concerns and recommending mitigation strategies to keep initiatives on track.
Facilitate project meetings, status reviews, and working sessions; drive accountability for action items, decisions, and deliverables across stakeholders.
Collaborate with legal, compliance, and the business to ensure projects adhere to governance, compliance, privacy, security, and responsible AI requirements.
Capture lessons learned and drive continuous process improvement across future AI agent implementations.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, Healthcare Administration, or related field.
5-7+ years of project management experience.
Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional, technology-enabled implementations and process improvement initiatives.
Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
Proficiency with project management tools and methodologies (Agile, waterfall, or hybrid), including planning, risk and issue management, and status reporting.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear documentation and present status, risks, and recommendations to both operational and technical audiences.
Experience defining and tracking KPIs to monitor delivery progress, adoption, and business outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications:
Project management certification (PMP, CAPM, Agile, SAFe, or equivalent).
Change management training or certification (Prosci, CCMP, or equivalent).
Experience supporting implementations of generative AI, machine learning, automation, or intelligent workflow solutions.
Healthcare, payer, provider, utilization management, or regulated industry experience preferred.
Experience with process mapping, workflow design, or operational process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent).
Why Join Us?
Opportunity to drive impactful AI initiatives in a rapidly evolving industry.
Collaborative environment with cross-functional teams, including data science, product, engineering, and operations.
Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth.
