Senior Project Manager

Industry: Healthcare Technology
Location: Washington, DC / Hybrid

About the Company

We are an innovative healthcare technology company using behavioral science, data, and AI to better understand what drives health decisions and improve outcomes.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together healthcare experts, researchers, data scientists, engineers, and product leaders to solve complex problems across healthcare and life sciences.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the end-to-end execution of complex healthcare, data, research, and technology initiatives.
You will sit at the center of cross-functional teams spanning client engagement, research, data science, product, and engineering, ensuring projects move from strategy through execution with clarity, speed, and a high bar for quality.
This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys bringing structure to ambiguity, and can manage multiple sophisticated workstreams while keeping internal teams and external stakeholders aligned.

What You’ll Do

• Own complex projects from initial scoping and planning through execution and delivery.
• Translate strategic objectives into clear project plans, milestones, timelines, deliverables, and ownership.
• Manage multiple concurrent workstreams across research, data, AI, product, and client-facing teams.
• Identify dependencies, risks, and blockers early and drive teams toward resolution.
• Coordinate closely with researchers, data scientists, engineers, product leaders, healthcare experts, and client-facing teams.
• Ensure clear communication around responsibilities, decisions, priorities, and next steps.
• Partner with internal leaders and external healthcare stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support project kickoffs, client meetings, working sessions, presentations, and final delivery.
• Communicate progress, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Develop and improve project-management processes, tools, templates, and operating rhythms as the organization scales.
• Identify opportunities to use AI and automation to improve internal workflows and project execution.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of project or program management experience, ideally within healthcare, healthtech, life sciences, consulting, research, or another data-intensive environment.
• Demonstrated experience owning complex projects from initial scoping through final delivery.
• Strong cross-functional project management skills, including experience working with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
• Strong client and stakeholder-management skills, with experience communicating with senior leaders.
• Ability to take ambiguous, complex problems and create a clear path forward.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong judgment and an ability to anticipate risks before they become blockers.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where processes are still being built.
• Genuine interest in healthcare and the potential for data, technology, and AI to improve health outcomes.

Nice to Have

• Experience within a healthcare or healthtech startup.
• Experience working with healthcare organizations, payers, life sciences companies, or public-health organizations.
• Familiarity with healthcare data, analytics, research, behavioral science, AI, or machine learning.
• Experience working directly with product, engineering, data science, or research teams.
• Experience building project-management processes or operating models from the ground up.

Who Will Thrive Here

We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves turning ambiguity into an executable plan.
• Can think strategically while staying on top of the details.
• Naturally anticipates what needs to happen next.
• Enjoys working with highly technical and multidisciplinary teams.
• Communicates clearly and directly.
• Doesn’t need a perfectly defined playbook to get started.
• Takes ownership and follows through.
• Wants their work to have a meaningful impact on healthcare.
