Job Summary
Equally rewarding and demanding, this is a non-traditional position where the scope of knowledge and responsibility required exceed typical Senior Project Manager roles. Enthusiasm for learning, problem solving, entrepreneurship, and a self-starter personality are key traits for success at Precision Health. Our Senior Project Managers work with researchers, technical teams, and clinical champions to define, organize, manage, and facilitate the deployment of AI projects into Michigan Medicine. The ability to think analytically, problem solve, work as part of a close-knit team, and a strong interest in getting work done is required of anyone taking on this role.
Our Senior Project Managers are responsible for the day-to-day ownership of our project portfolio at all stages of the product life cycle. Our Project Managers run their projects as a business - managing resource effort, delivery schedules, internal governance committees, technical teams and clinical partners on a daily basis. Because of their expertise, our Senior Project Managers are the 'go to' people for all questions pertaining to their projects and associated research.
