• Develop and manage detailed IT schedules, milestones, decision deadlines, dependencies, and action items.
• Coordinate IT activities with construction, facilities, clinical operations, vendors, and technology teams.
• Drive timely decisions and escalate schedule, budget, procurement, and deployment risks.
• Support technology planning, selection, procurement, delivery, storage, staging, installation, testing, and deployment.
• Track IT equipment and infrastructure including network equipment, WLAN/LAN, peripherals, telecom and communications systems, low-voltage and technology systems, and other hospital IT equipment.
• Coordinate equipment quantities, procurement dates, delivery schedules, storage requirements, installation sequencing, and activation.
• Maintain project documentation, dashboards, decision logs, risk registers, and executive-level reporting in partnership with the IT Field Project Manager.
• Help ensure IT systems and equipment are ready to support hospital activation and opening.
• Serve as a trusted client-facing partner, communicating clearly with hospital IT leaders, project teams, vendors, and construction stakeholders while driving follow-up, decisions, and accountability.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex project information into clear executive updates, presentations, action items, and decision points.
• Proficient with Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Teams, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 platforms used for project coordination and reporting.
• Experience using project scheduling and tracking tools such as Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Primavera P6, or similar platforms to manage milestones, dependencies, deadlines, and overall project progress.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of IT project management, PMO, technology consulting, or related experience.
• Experience supporting healthcare, hospital construction, major capital projects, or complex technology deployments strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of enterprise IT infrastructure, networking, wireless, low-voltage systems, and end-user technology.
• Strong scheduling, organization, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to work across IT, construction, clinical, facilities, procurement, and vendor teams.
• Comfortable driving decisions and holding multiple stakeholders accountable to project deadlines.
• PMP or similar project management certification preferred but not required.

This role is ideal for someone who understands how to translate a hospital construction schedule into the IT decisions, procurement activities, and deployment milestones required to open successfully.
