Implementation Project Manager

ABOUT LATENT

Latent is the enterprise pharmacy intelligence platform. Our clinical AI streamlines prior authorizations, appeals, and 340B compliance, so patients start therapy faster and care teams spend less time on paperwork.

We raised an $80M Series A led by Spark Capital and Transformation Capital, with General Catalyst, McKesson Ventures, Conviction, and Y Combinator. 60+ health systems run on Latent, including Yale New Haven, Mount Sinai, UCSF, and Ochsner. We move fast, operate with high ownership, and build products that directly improve patient care.

THE ROLE

The Implementation Project Manager is responsible for leading end-to-end onboarding and deployment projects for health systems adopting Latent’s platform. You’ll drive timelines, coordination, communication, and successful activation across clinical, IT, integration, and operational stakeholders.

This role requires exceptional organization, customer-facing presence, and the ability to operate in the dynamic environment of a high-growth healthcare SaaS startup. You will ensure customers go live efficiently, achieve measurable value quickly, and are set up for long-term success.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

PROJECT LEADERSHIP & CUSTOMER DELIVERY

• Lead full-cycle implementation projects – from kickoff through go-live and stabilization – across a portfolio of health system customers.

• Build and manage detailed project plans, timelines, milestones, and risk logs.

• Facilitate cross-functional meetings with customer IT, clinical operations, and technical teams (e.g., data integration, SSO, EHR workflows).

• Serve as the primary project point of contact, ensuring exceptional communication and alignment across all parties.

TECHNICAL COORDINATION

• Coordinate collection and validation of required technical inputs (integration specifications, data feeds, configuration requirements).

• Partner with Latent engineering, product, and clinical teams to ensure smooth handoffs and timely execution.

• Understand and translate technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders (and vice versa).

• Monitor progress of integrations (e.g., Epic, Cerner, Meditech) and escalate blockers proactively.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

• Own project documentation, including requirements tracking, decisions, status updates, risk mitigation plans, and post-go-live handoff materials.

• Build repeatable processes and contribute to the evolution of Latent’s implementation playbooks and best practices.

• Track and report project KPIs (e.g., activation timelines, milestone adherence, customer readiness).

• Ensure clean transition to Support teams post-implementation.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP & CHANGE MANAGEMENT

• Build trusted relationships with clinical and operational leaders at customer sites.

• Guide customers through workflow adoption, training readiness, and change-management planning.

• Ensure customer stakeholders understand project expectations, responsibilities, and timelines.

• Drive customer accountability to keep projects on track and on time.
