[Hiring] Director of PMO @Ellit Groups

Role Description

This is a remote position.

As Director of PMO, you'll lead enterprise healthcare clients in building, optimizing, and maturing their Project Management Offices — from initial assessment through full operational maturity. You'll maintain 50–60% billable utilization, operate with a high level of autonomy, and balance delivery, team leadership, and growth contribution without requiring direction.

You'll bring deep Epic platform expertise, having successfully led 3+ full-cycle Epic implementations (planning through post-go-live stabilization), and guide clients through complex system implementations and optimization efforts. You deliver consistently, anticipate risks proactively, and maintain strong client satisfaction and trust across engagements.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Delivery & PMO Execution (50–60% Billable)
  • Lead Epic implementations end-to-end — from project initiation through go-live and stabilization — with a minimum of three (3) full Epic implementations successfully delivered.
  • Drive new technology implementations (EHR, Revenue Cycle, ancillary systems) with PMO-level rigor: governance design, RAID tracking, milestone management, and go-live readiness.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite and IT leadership — providing strategic guidance on program execution, project prioritization, and decision-making across complex stakeholder landscapes.
  • Own portfolio-wide planning, reporting cadences, and executive steering committee preparation.
  • Coach and develop client-side project managers and team leads — building internal client capability that outlasts the engagement.
  • Apply PMP-level frameworks: governance models, risk/issue management, change control, resource planning, and quality assurance.
  • Operate effectively across diverse healthcare environments: academic medical centers, community hospitals, integrated delivery networks, physician groups, and payers.
• Business Development & Relationship Building
  • Build authentic, long-term relationships with healthcare IT leaders — CIOs, CMIOs, VPs of IT, and operational executives — through exceptional delivery.
  • Stay engaged with client stakeholders between active engagements: check in, share insights, and follow up on delivered outcomes.
  • Identify expansion and follow-on opportunities naturally surfaced through delivery work; communicate those signals to VP leadership clearly and promptly.
  • Support RFP responses, pitch materials, and pursuit decks with domain expertise and delivery proof points.
  • Engage meaningfully at industry events: HIMSS, Becker's Healthcare, Epic UGM, Oracle Health Summit, and PMI chapter events.
  • Maintain an active, authentic LinkedIn presence reflecting genuine healthcare IT expertise.
  • Log contacts, conversations, and opportunity signals in Salesforce consistently.
• Internal Contribution (Non-Billable Hours)
  • Contribute to RFP responses — writing sections, reviewing submissions, and providing the practitioner voice that resonates with prospects.
  • Help build and refine PMO practice frameworks, delivery templates, and quality standards.
  • Lead internal knowledge-sharing sessions and training initiatives.
  • Support talent acquisition by interviewing candidates and assessing PM competency.
  • Partner with the VP of PMO on practice strategy, service line evolution, and team development.
