• Apply formal stage-gate governance, ensuring entry/exit criteria, readiness reviews, approvals, and quality checks are completed before advancing phases.
• Enforce disciplined change control, including scope, schedule, and cost impacts, with documented approvals.
• Own and actively manage RAID logs, ensuring risks and issues are clearly articulated, mitigated, and escalated when appropriate.
• Coordinate delivery across multiple workstreams, vendors, and functional teams.
• Partner directly with state clients, ecosystem vendors, and internal leaders to plan, prioritize, and deliver system changes.
• Serve as the primary point of communication for project status—providing clear, accurate, and transparent updates to stakeholders at all levels.
• Assign and manage resources; mentor team members; and act as an escalation point for delivery challenges.
• Monitor delivery performance against contractual commitments, SLAs, budgets, and regulatory timelines.
• Adhere to all PMO and program governance standards, processes, and procedures.
• Support capacity planning and workload balancing across projects, defects, and operational work.
• Collaborate with peer project managers to align resources, dependencies, and priorities across the program.
• Escalate delivery, resourcing, or system risks with clear options, impacts, and recommendations.
What we're looking for

• 10+ years of progressive project management experience, including leadership of large, complex, multi-vendor software delivery initiatives.
• Demonstrated mastery of waterfall project delivery, including stage-gated governance, formal change control, and end-to-end SDLC execution (required).
• Proven ability to build and maintain critical-path schedules and manage teams to those schedules.
• Demonstrated success delivering projects on time and on budget in high-pressure, client-facing environments.
• Experience managing work within client/vendor delivery models.
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Project (required); MS Project Online (MSPO) experience preferred.
• Strong experience managing RAID, change control, and executive-level status reporting.
• Experience delivering Medicaid, MMIS, or other public-sector healthcare systems.
• Experience working with state agencies and navigating regulatory-driven delivery environments.
