Full description
The Senior IT Project Manager will lead planning, coordination, and execution of IT workstreams supporting the Helen Diller Hospital project, a multi-year, large-scale capital initiative. This role will oversee technology program delivery across clinical applications, infrastructure, and end-user systems to ensure alignment with hospital operational readiness and strategic goals. Responsibilities include managing scope, schedule, budget, risks, and dependencies across diverse stakeholder groups; facilitating decision-making between IT, construction, and clinical leadership; and ensuring regulatory, security, and patient safety requirements are met. The Senior IT Project Manager will serve as a primary liaison between IT leadership, project governance, and vendor partners, providing executive-level visibility into progress, issues, and mitigation strategies.
As a Senior IT Project Manager for the Helen Diller Hospital project, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of healthcare delivery. This position is responsible for planning and implementing fully integrated IT solutions to support the new Helen Diller Hospital at Parnassus Heights. The work involves implementing IT services that are future-ready, adaptable to emerging technologies, and capable of supporting smooth transitions over time.
This role requires a deep understanding of institutional, medical center, and systemwide priorities, as well as long-term strategic goals. You will lead and manage complex IT workstreams with broad institutional impact, requiring sophisticated analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and innovative problem-solving.
As a recognized subject matter expert and senior leader in project management, you will influence methods, standards, and best practices across the organization. Your expertise will not only guide the Helen Diller Hospital initiative but will also shape how large-scale IT projects are managed across the campus, medical center, and broader UC system.
The new 15-story, 875,000 gross-square-foot (GSF) hospital will enable UCSF to provide much-needed capacity for additional acute, emergency and intensive care beds, meet the state’s seismic requirements, and provide an optimal healing environment that addresses social, psychological, spiritual, and behavioral components of health in one place. The holistic focus on the needs of patients reflects UCSF’s integrated research, education and care delivery mission at Parnassus Heights. The new hospital will incorporate the latest innovations in technology and equipment for advanced complex care and bridge scientific research discoveries from bench to bedside leading to accelerated innovative treatments and therapies to benefit patients.
UCSF Health is a growing regional health system that includes UCSF Medical Center, the top-ranked hospital in California and among the top five nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report. The new hospital will be embedded within a campus that includes leading clinicians and scientists focused on translating discoveries into treatments and cures. UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center is part of a planned broader revitalization of the Parnassus Heights campus that also will modernize facilities supporting our research and education priorities.
