Project Implementation Manager

  • Location: Tampa, Florida
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #381

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a growing organization in the PBM and healthcare technology space looking for a Project Implementation Manager who knows how to bring structure to complexity and keep things moving.

This role sits at the center of everything, clients, internal teams, vendors, and leadership. You’ll lead both client-facing implementations and internal initiatives, making sure projects land on time, within scope, and without unnecessary chaos.

If you’re someone who can juggle multiple priorities, translate between technical and business teams, and keep stakeholders aligned (and calm), this is your kind of role.


What You’ll Do

Project Leadership & Delivery

  • Own projects from kickoff through completion, ensuring timelines, scope, and quality stay on track
  • Build and manage detailed project plans covering scope, resources, risks, and dependencies
  • Lead client implementations and internal initiatives with equal confidence

Client & PBM Implementation Execution

  • Drive conversations around benefit design, formulary setup, BIN/PCN configuration, pharmacy networks, prior authorization workflows, and data integrations
  • Lead UAT coordination, go-live readiness, and post-implementation reviews
  • Serve as a steady, knowledgeable point of contact for clients throughout the lifecycle

Communication & Stakeholder Management

  • Run effective meetings, from kickoff to status calls, with clear documentation and follow-through
  • Manage expectations, navigate escalations, and communicate updates with transparency and professionalism
  • Prepare executive-level reporting, including status updates and decision support materials

Operational Excellence

  • Track project health, risks, and blockers across multiple workstreams
  • Partner with internal teams, vendors, and third parties to keep everything aligned
  • Continuously improve processes, templates, and workflows to make delivery more efficient and scalable

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Information Systems, or a related field
  • 3–5+ years of project management experience, including client-facing software implementations
  • Direct experience in the PBM space is essential
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment
  • Strong understanding of PBM operations, claims adjudication, formulary management, benefit design, BIN/PCN, eligibility, and integrations

What Sets You Apart

  • You’re equal parts operator and communicator
  • You can keep projects moving without creating friction
  • You’re comfortable navigating both technical detail and executive-level conversations
  • You bring structure, but you’re not rigid, you adapt when things inevitably shift

Why This Role

This is one of those roles where you’re not just managing timelines, you’re shaping how clients experience the business. Done well, your work creates clarity, confidence, and long-term partnerships.
