Senior Project Manager, Home Hospital, Ariadne Labs

Ariadne Labs is a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Our goal is to drive scalable solutions for better care at critical moments in people's lives everywhere. Better care means better health outcomes, lower costs, and more actual caring. Critical means solving health systems failures that have major impact, typically touching people by the millions. Ariadne Labs currently has research programs in the areas of childbirth, surgery, palliative care, home hospital, and primary health care.
Ariadne's Home Hospital Program is a diverse portfolio of projects focusing on driving advanced care to the home. The team's largest focus is on acute care at home, or the provision of hospital-level care at home as a substitute for the traditional hospital. The team recently completed a multi-site randomized controlled trial of rural home hospital and a national early adopters accelerator to promote home hospital knowledge products. The team is currently working on the design and implementation of a novel pathway to treat acutely ill patients with psychiatric conditions at home, an international fellowship, a home-based drone program, and mobile advanced rural care program. The goal of the team will be to execute the above projects and grow its portfolio in several strategic areas through grant and user funding.
The Home Hospital team is seeking Senior Project Managers to support and lead the launch of new national, multisite research projects that will advance the innovation and implementation of novel advanced home-based interventions. The Senior Project Manager (SPM) will be responsible for managing the day-to-day affairs of a large multisite research project, internal and external relationship management, ensuring reporting requirements for subcontractors and to funders is accurate and timely, and that staffing of the project is optimized. The SPM will be responsible for the work to be delivered on time, on scope, and on budget while maintaining high quality standards. They will also ensure that their project is integrated and consistent with the work of the Home Hospital Program, provide support to team members, and updates to Ariadne's leadership on project progress and health.
In partnership with the Assistant Director of Project Management of the Home Hospital Program, the SPM provides both strategic and day-to-day guidance and support to members of the Home Hospital team on their designated project related to the design and implementation of novel advanced home hospital interventions. The SPM is responsible for acting as a thought partner to the project leadership in order to ensure project health and delivery. The role is a bridging function to ensure internal and external team perspectives are considered and integrated into the project approach, while also prioritizing speed and quality. The role must also consider where appropriate flexibility in the approach is required to address feasibility, as well as to mitigate and manage project risk.
Senior Project Managers are considered senior representatives of Ariadne Labs, its mission and its values, both internally and externally. This position requires an individual who is skilled at working collaboratively within Ariadne's matrix organization to draw in the right expertise at the right time to support the work of the project. This position requires an ability to develop and maintain senior level external relationships through in-person and remote communication. The SPM will report directly to the Assistant Director of Project Management.
