Job Description

Director of Special Projects

Location: Dallas, Texas (Hybrid)

We are seeking a highly strategic, execution-focused Project Manager to lead enterprise-level transformation initiatives within our healthcare client’s organization. This is a high-visibility role that partners closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations, and Executive teams.

This individual will act as a force multiplier, owning initiatives that materially shape product strategy, operating cadence, and long-term growth. We are looking for a driven, business-minded operator who is focused on outcomes, not just process. This is not a traditional PMO role; it requires someone who can take ownership, push through obstacles, and deliver results.

What You’ll Bring

  • A “take the hill” mentality: proactive, decisive, and execution-driven
  • Strong business acumen with a focus on outcomes over process
  • Ability to lead without authority and build trust across the organization
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity
  • Not required to have a deep technical background: many initiatives are business-focused
  • Familiarity with PMP principles and SDLC (certification not required)

Key Responsibilities:

Program Leadership & Execution

  • Own end-to-end program design, planning, governance, and execution for high-impact initiatives
  • Define success metrics and track progress against strategic objectives, KPIs, and milestones
  • Identify risks, gaps, and dependencies; proactively remove barriers to execution
  • Develop scalable templates, playbooks, and operating procedures to drive consistency and excellence
  • Lead executive-level meetings, steering committees, and decision-making forums
  • Deliver clear, concise executive updates, dashboards, and board-level materials
  • Provide data-driven insights, tradeoffs, and recommendations to support decision-making

Cross-Functional Partnership & Stakeholder Management

  • Act as a connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Finance, and Customer teams.
  • Build trusted relationships and influence without authority to drive alignment and accountability
  • Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments with diplomacy and clarity

Organizational Change & Adoption

  • Lead communication, training, and change management plans to ensure wide organizational adoption of new processes
  • Act as an internal champion for modern product practices, raising the bar on how teams evaluate and deliver product value
  • Identify resistance points and partner with leaders to drive cultural and operational change

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in SaaS program management, product strategy, product operations, business operations, or management consulting
  • Proven track record leading large-scale, cross-functional transformation initiatives
  • Strong understanding of SaaS product development, operating models, and organizational dynamics
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
  • Proficiency with tools such as Excel, BI platforms, Aha!, Jira, or Salesforce
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders and align teams without direct authority

Core Competencies

  • Strategic Thinking & Execution: Translates high-level goals into practical, repeatable execution frameworks
  • Program Leadership: Manages complex, multi-workstream initiatives from planning through delivery
  • Executive Communication: Delivers clear, concise messaging tailored to senior audiences
  • Cross-Functional Influence: Builds alignment across Product, Engineering, and Finance
  • Change Leadership: Drives adoption of new processes and operating models with confidence

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Product Operations, Product Management, Product Strategy, or portfolio governance
  • Background in high-growth, multi-product, or private equity-backed SaaS environments
  • Strong relationship-building skills and ability to influence without authority
  • High ownership mindset with exceptional follow-through and attention to detail
  • Fast learner with intellectual curiosity and a passion for improving product practices
  • Certifications in PMP, Agile, Lean, or related disciplines are a plus
