Job Description: PACS Implementation Project Manager (Canon → Sectra Migration) Overview Our healthcare client is launching an enterprise imaging modernization initiative, transitioning from Canon PACS to Sectra. We are seeking a high-energy, people-centric Project Manager who can drive this implementation with strong functional leadership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to keep teams aligned, informed, and engaged. This role requires a PM who is organized, proactive, and great with people—while still possessing enough technical PACS experience to effectively guide vendors and internal teams. Key Responsibilities Project Leadership & Functional Management • Own the full project lifecycle—from planning and discovery through build, testing, go-live, and stabilization. • Develop and manage detailed project plans, workstreams, timelines, risk mitigation strategies, and status reporting. • Keep cross-functional teams engaged, motivated, and moving forward in a positive, collaborative environment. • Drive decision-making and maintain clear communication with clinical, operational, and IT stakeholders. Stakeholder Engagement & Communication • Facilitate fun, productive, and well-structured meetings with radiology, cardiology, IT, and imaging operations teams. • Serve as the main point of contact for project updates, ensuring executive leaders, clinicians, and technical teams receive clear, actionable information. • Act as the “glue” of the project—building strong relationships, resolving conflicts, and maintaining buy-in throughout the implementation. Vendor & Partner Coordination • Coordinate with Canon and Sectra teams to ensure deliverables, dependencies, and timelines are met. • Collaborate closely with integration teams, imaging analysts, and modality vendors to keep the migration on track. Workflow Optimization • Lead workflow validation sessions and support future-state design for radiology and imaging departments. • Partner with operational leaders to ensure Sectra meets clinical needs and aligns with imaging best practices. Technical Oversight (Light Hands-On) • Support technical planning around integrations, modality connectivity, EMR interfaces, and image/data migration. • Provide functional guidance rather than deep technical configuration—escalating technical items to SMEs appropriately. Go-Live Leadership • Plan and lead go-live readiness, cutover coordination, and command center operations. • Maintain strong morale and an organized structure during the go-live period. Required Experience & Qualifications • 5+ years of project management experience in healthcare IT, including PACS or enterprise imaging implementations. • Strong functional PM skill set with a track record of leading cross-functional teams in high-visibility projects. • Experience with Canon, Sectra, or similar PACS platforms (functional familiarity required; deep configuration experience not necessary). • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills. • Ability to manage multiple workstreams while maintaining a positive and collaborative team culture. • PMP or similar certification preferred. Preferred Attributes • High emotional intelligence and strong interpersonal skills. • Energetic, collaborative, and able to bring structure and positivity to complex projects. • Comfortable navigating both clinical and technical conversations. • Experience working in large health systems or multi-hospital environments.
