Senior Project Manager

About the Role

We at Innovaccer are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead the execution of AI-enabled healthcare technology initiatives for our customers. This role is ideal for candidates who have operated in fast-paced, client-facing consulting environments and are now looking to own outcomes end-to-end inside a product-led organization.

The Senior Project Manager will translate complex, ambiguous business and technical problems into structured delivery plans, drive cross-functional execution across product, engineering, and data teams, and ensure AI initiatives move from concept and pilot to production and adoption. This role regularly engages senior customer and internal leadership and reports progress through clearly defined OKRs and KPIs.

A Day in the Life

• Lead delivery of AI-driven programs aligned to customer contracts and strategic initiatives.
• Partner with executive stakeholders to define problem statements, success metrics, and delivery scope.
• Translate high-level AI concepts into executable plans with clear milestones, owners, and dependencies.
• Drive execution across cross-functional teams including product, engineering, data science, security, and customer success.
• Create and maintain project, release, and sprint plans; present updates to customer and internal leadership.
• Track execution using tools such as Jira, Smartsheet, and Confluence.
• Develop and maintain consulting-grade delivery artifacts including project charters, roadmaps, governance decks, and executive readouts.
• Proactively identify and manage risks related to data readiness, integration complexity, compliance, and change management.
• Prepare and publish weekly, monthly, and executive governance updates with a focus on outcomes, not activity.
• Manage resource capacity, utilization, and delivery tradeoffs across parallel initiatives.
• Lead customer and internal working sessions; document decisions and drive action items to closure.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, data science, and infrastructure teams to unblock execution.
• Own transition from pilot or build phases into production deployment and steady-state support.
• Track and report KPIs and OKRs tied to delivery health, adoption, and value realization.
• Identify and remove organizational, process, and cultural impediments to delivery.
• Serve as a trusted execution partner and advisor to customers and internal leadership.
