Senior Project Manager

Vynca is hiring a Senior Project Manager, Strategic Implementation to lead new-market launches, contract implementations, and other strategic initiatives from planning through go-live. The role will establish a repeatable implementation function, coordinate cross-functional teams, and ensure launches meet operational, regulatory, and payer requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end project management for new market entries, contract implementations or new lines of business, from kickoff through go-live and post-launch stabilization
• Build the project management function and infrastructure for the organization — including governance models, intake processes, status reporting cadences, and playbooks
• Translate signed contracts and new-market business cases into detailed implementation plans with clear milestones, dependencies, owners, and timelines
• Lead cross-functional project teams spanning operations, account management, sales, analytics, marketing, compliance, product, IT, RCM and finance, holding workstream owners accountable without direct authority
• Partner with and influence leaders at all levels of the organization, from front-line managers to the executive team, to align priorities and resolve roadblocks quickly
• Design and implement value-based care program operations, coordinating readiness across teams
• Identify risks and issues early, drive mitigation plans, and escalate proactively to leadership with clear options and recommendations
• Apply Lean and process-improvement principles to continuously simplify and scale implementation processes as the company grows
• Establish and track key implementation metrics (timeline adherence, milestone completion, launch readiness, post-launch performance) and report progress to executive leadership
• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures and change-management plans to support each new market or contract launch
• Ensure all implementation activities comply with applicable healthcare regulations and payer-specific requirements
• Continuously improve the implementation playbook based on lessons learned, building institutional knowledge that makes each subsequent launch faster and lower-risk

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Operations, or a related field
• Minimum of 5-8 years of project management experience, including leading complex, value-based initiatives in a health-tech start-up environment
• Demonstrated experience implementing new markets, new contracts, or new lines of business, ideally within a startup or high-growth environment
• Experience with or strong working knowledge of value-based care and value-based payment program design and operations
• Track record of building processes, structure, and tools from scratch rather than optimizing an existing, mature function
• Exceptional cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and align leaders at all levels of an organization
• Strong executive presence and communication skills, including comfort presenting plans, risks, and results to senior leadership
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities typical of an early-to-growth-stage healthcare company
• PMP certification, required
• At this time we are only considering applicants in the following states:
• California, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah and Washington
• advanced degree a plus, preferred
• Lean, Six Sigma, or other process-improvement certification or working knowledge, preferred
• Knowledge of healthcare compliance requirements, including HIPAA and payer contracting standards, preferred
