Implementation Project Manager

The Opportunity: We’re partnering with a growing organization in the PBM and healthcare technology space looking for an Implementation Project Manager who knows how to bring structure to complex software implementations and keep projects moving from kickoff through go-live. This role sits at the center of everything - clients, IT, product, development, operations, vendors, and leadership. You’ll lead both client-facing software implementations and internal technology initiatives, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with the right level of technical and operational rigor. We’re looking for a true project manager - someone who understands how software implementations work, can manage technical dependencies and integrations, and is comfortable translating between business requirements and technical teams. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be technically fluent enough to ask the right questions, identify risks, understand dependencies, and keep technical workstreams moving. If you’re someone who can manage multiple priorities, bring structure to complex implementations, translate between technical and business teams, and keep stakeholders aligned (and calm), this is your kind of role.
