Senior Project Manager – Healthcare Construction
Creature | Birmingham, AL
Location: Birmingham, AL
Reports to: Director of Project Management
Employment Type: Full-time, salaried
Compensation: Competitive salary + performance-based bonus + benefits
About Creature
Creature is a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) company built to eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional construction. We align design, preconstruction, field operations, and self-perform trades into one system so projects move faster, cleaner, and with greater reliability.
Purpose of the Role
Own the health of Creature's healthcare project portfolio — not any single job, but the program of jobs and the people running them. This role exists so clients across the healthcare portfolio get the same discipline and access no matter which PM is assigned, and so PMs get developed into that level of ownership instead of left to find it alone.
Core Accountability
Own total program performance — safety, schedule, quality, financial outcomes, and client standing — across every project in Creature's healthcare portfolio, while developing the PMs who run those projects into leaders who don't need this seat standing over them.
Key Accountabilities
- Program Execution & Portfolio Leadership
Lead delivery across every active healthcare project without running any one of them directly. Hold each PM accountable for their own schedule, scope, and execution, and catch the portfolio-level pattern — the risk repeating across three jobs that looks like noise on any single one — before it becomes a program problem.
- Program-Level Financial Ownership
Own gross margin and forecasting in aggregate across the healthcare program. Each PM owns their project's numbers directly; this seat owns the roll-up, protects margin decisions that cross project lines — shared crews, shared subs, shared risk — and flags portfolio drift before it shows up in a single monthly report.
- Client Relationship & Contract Authority
Serve as the senior point of accountability for Creature's healthcare client relationships. PMs run the day-to-day; this seat is who the client calls when something needs to move faster than one project's chain of command, and the person who ensures every contract in the program actually protects the margin it was written to protect.
- PM Development & Bench Building
Lead, coach, and hold accountable every PM assigned to the healthcare program. Build a bench of PMs capable of running a healthcare client relationship and contract independently — this accountability, more than any other, is what separates this seat from a PM carrying a heavier project load.
