Routinely communicate updates, challenges, and progress to senior management and key stakeholders.
Build trusted relationships across internal teams, client organizations, and vendor partners.

Deployment Lifecycle Management

Manage all phases of EHR deployment: pre‑deployment planning, go‑live readiness, and post‑deployment optimization.
Maintain and organize deployment artifacts, such as lessons learned logs, action trackers, and issue registers.
Review vendor deliverables for accuracy, completeness, and downstream impact on deployment activities.

Analysis, Documentation & Decision Support

Support preparation of deliverables, including data analysis, slide decks, written reports, and other materials that inform leadership decisions.
Develop guidelines, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and principles used across deployment activities.
Acquire deep knowledge of client processes, workflows, and organizational practices to guide deployment execution.

What you need:
