Senior Program Manager, Healthcare Implementation

Why You’ll Actually Care

District Partners is leading the search for a PE-backed, rapidly growing healthcare technology organization helping some of the country’s most complex healthcare organizations improve how care is delivered, managed, and measured.

As the company expands across large health systems, provider organizations, and other institutional healthcare environments, it needs a hands-on program leader who understands how these organizations operate and can personally drive complex implementations forward.

You’ll work closely with the CTO and senior leadership, gain significant exposure to healthcare executives, and help establish the structure needed to support continued growth.

The Role

This is a newly created senior individual contributor role focused on complex, client-facing healthcare technology implementations that can span a year or longer.

You will own the detailed plan, coordinate daily execution, resolve issues, and keep internal and client teams accountable. That means building and maintaining workplans, running working sessions, tracking deliverables, and following through with owners to keep implementation moving.

You should be comfortable leading an executive steering discussion and then working directly with implementation, technical, and client teams to address the details behind it. There are no direct reports initially, so success requires influence, sound judgment, and a willingness to do the work yourself.

What You’ll Be Owning

• Personally manage complex healthcare technology implementations from initial planning through delivery.
• Build and maintain detailed workplans covering milestones, deliverables, owners, deadlines, and dependencies across multiple workstreams.
• Run implementation meetings and client working sessions, document decisions and action items, and follow through on commitments.
• Coordinate Product, Engineering, Implementation, and customer teams to clarify requirements, resolve blockers, and keep delivery on track.
• Maintain risk, issue, and decision logs, addressing problems directly and escalating with clear recommendations when needed.
• Manage scope changes, assess their impact on timelines and resources, and align stakeholders on realistic delivery commitments.
• Lead executive steering discussions and provide the CTO, senior leadership, and client stakeholders with concise, accurate implementation updates.
• Develop practical implementation processes, templates, and reporting that improve consistency as the organization scales.

What You Bring to the Table

• Significant experience personally managing complex, client-facing healthcare technology implementations or technology-enabled transformation programs.
• Recent ownership of day-to-day delivery, including detailed project plans, dependency management, issue resolution, and client follow-through.
• Substantial experience working within or directly supporting health systems, hospitals, IDNs, ACOs, large provider organizations, health plans, or organizations delivering enterprise technology into these environments.
• A strong understanding of healthcare’s clinical, operational, technology, data, regulatory, and organizational complexity.
• Demonstrated success coordinating multiple workstreams and driving technical and organizational dependencies through completion.
• The ability to move between detailed implementation discussions and executive updates, with the credibility to engage clinical, operational, technology, and business leaders.
• Confidence holding teams accountable, challenging unrealistic expectations, managing scope, and delivering difficult messages while maintaining strong client relationships.
• A practical approach to creating structure in a fast-moving environment, including building and maintaining the tools and documentation yourself.
• Experience with healthcare data, EHR environments and integrations, clinical workflows, population health, value-based care, care management, HIPAA, PHI, or related healthcare technology environments is highly valuable.
