A human services client is seeking a Senior Project Manager to support complex, cross-program initiatives within the Secretary’s Office and related DHS program areas. This position is focused on program implementation, stakeholder coordination, operational readiness, and governance. It is not an IT systems project manager role.
The Senior Project Manager will lead multi-workstream initiatives from planning through launch and stabilization.
This role requires someone who can quickly understand policy and operational requirements, translate them into actionable workplans, coordinate across multiple teams, track decisions and risks, and ensure timely completion of milestones.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage complex cross-program initiatives involving DHS program offices, executive leadership, county partners, providers, managed care organizations, and other stakeholders.
Develop and maintain detailed project plans, including scope, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, owners, and timelines.
Facilitate workgroups, governance meetings, and stakeholder discussions, including preparing agendas, meeting materials, decision points, and follow-up action items.
Build a strong understanding of program requirements, policy intent, operational workflows, and compliance needs.
Translate program and policy requirements into practical tasks, timelines, readiness activities, and implementation plans.
Create and maintain project governance artifacts, including RACI matrices, RAID logs, action trackers, decision logs, status reports, and change control documentation.
Identify risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies early, and drive mitigation plans with accountable owners.
Support Medicaid, CMS-facing, managed care, waiver, or health and human services initiatives as needed.
Coordinate communications planning, stakeholder mapping, training readiness, launch planning, and stabilization activities.
Ensure project documentation is complete, accurate, and stakeholder-ready, including decisions, rationale, approvals, and downstream impacts.
Work independently with minimal oversight while maintaining momentum across competing priorities.
Coach and support junior project managers when needed and help strengthen project governance practices.
