About the job
As Senior Project Manager, Strategic Implementation, you will lead the end-to-end execution of new market launches, new contract implementations, and other high-priority strategic initiatives that fuel Vynca's growth. This is a build role: you will design and implement the frameworks, governance, and tools, standing up a repeatable implementation function. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders across the organization to move initiatives from signed contract to live, revenue-generating operations. Success in this role requires equal parts structure and adaptability: the discipline of formal project management combined with the resourcefulness to operate in a fast-moving healthcare startup.
What you'll do
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.
Your experience and qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Operations, or a related field; advanced degree a plus, preferred.
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.
Lean, Six Sigma, or other process-improvement certification or working knowledge, preferred.
Knowledge of healthcare compliance requirements, including HIPAA and payer contracting standards, preferred.
