Position Description

Join an innovative firm delivering a portfolio of high-impact healthcare environments across the U.S.—from hospitals to complex care networks—shaping spaces where clinical performance, patient outcomes, and operational efficiency converge.

This is not a traditional project management role.

As an Architectural Project Manager, you will operate as a program-level leader, owning delivery performance, driving standardization, and elevating how healthcare design gets done across multiple projects and clients. You will influence not just what gets delivered—but how work happens at scale.

You’ll lead complex healthcare programs while introducing smarter systems, stronger controls, and higher standards of execution. Your work will directly impact patient environments, caregiver experience, and client operational success.

Working alongside architects, engineers, clinicians, and executive healthcare stakeholders, you’ll align multidisciplinary teams around a single goal: deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes—faster, smarter, and with fewer gaps.

This role is ideal for someone who sees inefficiencies and can’t ignore them—who instinctively builds better processes, scales what works, and raises the bar for everyone around them.

Beyond project delivery, you will:

Build alignment across teams and clients
Identify breakdowns and turn them into repeatable solutions
Drive consistency across multi-site programs
Strengthen long-term client trust and strategic partnerships

Position Salary Range*

The expected salary range for this position is $95,000 to $125,000 annually, with performance-based growth tied to impact, not tenure.

Required Qualifications**

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture or related field
15+ years leading complex healthcare design delivery or large-scale program management
Proven experience managing multi-site healthcare programs, systems, or capital portfolios
Deep understanding of healthcare design standards, regulatory frameworks, and compliance environments (FGI, state health authorities, etc.)
Track record of improving operational performance, consistency, and delivery outcomes across multiple projects
Ability to translate ambiguity into clear systems, workflows, and execution plans
Experience across both interior and exterior healthcare architectural documentation
Strong command of project and program tools (Deltek Vantagepoint, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, Adobe)
Ability to influence teams without relying on authority—driving accountability, clarity, and momentum
Exceptional communication skills with clinical leaders, executives, and technical teams
Experience navigating permitting and regulatory processes within healthcare environments

Preferred Qualifications**

Background in healthcare-focused architecture or multidisciplinary design firms
Professional licensure or advanced project/program management certification
Experience driving enterprise-level process improvements or design standardization initiatives
Exposure to health system strategy, capital planning, or campus transformation efforts

Don’t opt out too early:
If you bring strong experience, clear thinking, and a track record of improving how work gets done—even if your background doesn’t match every bullet—we want to hear from you.

Position Responsibilities***

Drive project planning from concept through documentation with clear, enforceable milestones

Identify recurring breakdowns and implement real, lasting solutions—not workarounds
Run structured program reviews to assess performance, identify risk, and align teams quickly
Ensure data integrity and reporting accuracy within Deltek Vantagepoint
Create actionable work plans and resource strategies—not just schedules
Oversee billing, financial tracking, and payment timelines with discipline and accuracy
