Project Manager – Administration

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a Project Manager, Administration in Los Angeles, CA.

Overview:
In this role, the Project Manager is responsible for the successful analysis, initiation, planning, execution, and closeout of programs and projects as assigned by the Director, PMO or their designee. The Project Manager will oversee the IS PMO’s most complex projects, which will likely involve a diverse set of components, including healthcare processes, clinical applications & interfaces, business/administrative applications & interfaces, enabling/supporting technology, and infrastructure (e.g., hardware, devices, telecom, storage solutions).

Responsibilities will require the PM to indirectly supervise other employees, thereby making the ability to lead through influence vs. direct authority a critical skill for the PM to demonstrate. This role will also require direct oversight of contract/vendor labor in project situations where a component of the project work is outsourced to a third party.

The successful Project Manager must be proficient in managing the complexities associated with large, enterprise-wide strategic initiatives, and be able to communicate effectively with executive-level personnel, verbally and in writing. The successful PM will exhibit strong project planning abilities – and have robust prior experience justifying and planning projects, to include defining and baselining project scopes (via charters, scope statements, work breakdown structures, statements of work), schedules, budgets and resource allocations. They will also exhibit strong project execution & closeout abilities and be comfortable assuming – and course correcting – in flight projects.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 10+ years of total post-collegiate relevant professional experience
• 5+ years of project management experience leading projects, including requesting/securing approval to start projects through project closeout
• Experience with all phases of project management, with demonstrated success across a variety of project types (e.g., process redesign, business transformation, construction, research, infrastructure, clinical applications, business applications, products, data governance & management)
• Proficiency of both theoretical and practical aspects of project management including tools and techniques (e.g., project planning, risk/issue management, governance, cost/benefit analysis, project change controls)
• Ability to facilitate working sessions with large, cross-functional teams (business, clinical, technical)
