Job description

Title: EPIC Project Manager
Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid - 3 days a week onsite)
Job Type: Contract
 
This is essentially a large-scale healthcare transformation and relocation program, where Epic expertise is mandatory and project management is the primary function.

Must-Have Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of Project Management experience.
  • 5+ years of Healthcare IT experience.
  • Proven Epic implementation, optimization, or migration experience.
  • Significant experience with:
    • Epic Beaker (for Lab PM role)
    • Epic Willow (for Pharmacy PM role)
  • Experience leading enterprise-wide technology initiatives.
  • Budget, resource, risk, and vendor management experience.
  • Executive stakeholder management experience.
  • Strong change management and operational readiness experience.
  • Experience managing cross-functional technical and operational teams.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications:
  • PMP Certification.

  • Experience with healthcare infrastructure, networking, disaster recovery, and systems migrations.

  • Equipment and automation migration.
  • Workflow redesign and operational readiness.
  • Regulatory and compliance coordination.
  • Vendor and stakeholder management.
