As an Implementation Manager, you’ll help turn new hospital partnerships into fully operational specialty pharmacy programs. You’ll work across clinical, operational, and executive teams to bring these programs to life—driving real impact on patient care.
This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you’ll own key pieces of complex implementations, solve problems in real time, and help shape how programs are built from the ground up.
What You’ll Do
Drive key workstreams within large-scale implementation projects
Partner with hospital leaders and cross-functional teams to execute program launches
Build project plans, track progress, and keep teams aligned
Facilitate meetings and push decisions forward
Evaluate workflows and help design more efficient processes
Support system implementations and coordinate across IT, operations, and clinical teams
Why This Role Stands Out
Real ownership over impactful workstreams
Exposure to strategy, operations, and leadership
Fast-paced, consulting-style environment
Opportunity to help build programs that improve patient access to care
What You Bring
2–5 years in consulting, healthcare operations, or project-based roles
Strong project management and problem-solving skills
Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
Ability to influence stakeholders and drive outcomes
