Program & Execution Management

  • Revalidate delivery estimates at key lifecycle milestones
  • Track delivery metrics and performance against baseline plans
  • Ensure readiness for major milestones (design, build, testing, go‑live, stabilization)
  • Resolve or escalate delivery issues impacting patient safety, timelines, or cost

Clinical & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Partner closely with clinical leaders, informatics leads, and operational stakeholders
  • Ensure CIS solutions align with clinical workflows and care delivery models
  • Act as a primary escalation point for delivery and integration challenges
  • Support executive‑level reporting and governance forums

Vendor & Integration Management

  • Coordinate delivery across CIS vendors (Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, etc.)
  • Oversee integration between CIS platforms and ancillary systems (lab, pharmacy, imaging, revenue cycle)
  • Ensure vendor deliverables align with contractual and clinical requirements

Quality, Risk & Compliance

  • Participate in delivery quality reviews and remediation activities
  • Identify risks to clinical operations or patient safety and ensure mitigation plans are in place

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • Proven leadership of large‑scale CIS / EHR implementations or transformations

  • Experience with one or more major CIS platforms (Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, MEDITECH, Altera)

  • Strong stakeholder management skills across clinical, technical, and executive audiences

  • Background in healthcare delivery, clinical informatics, or large public‑sector programs preferred

  • A high school diploma or GED is required for this position

  • English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with stakeholders across Canada, US and other countries across our Global footprint where English is the common language. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking stakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.
