Healthcare Project Manager-Remote

Pinnacle Method Consulting's mission is to help job seekers reach their career peak by accessing top-tier opportunities. We are not a staffing firm or agency. Pinnacle Method does not hire for these roles—we systematically source and verify them from premier employers.

About the Role

This role will provide project management services to both the N.C. Health Information Authority (NCHIEA) and the Government Data Analytics Center (GDAC) and will support the oversight of the technical implementation vendor, all in close collaboration with NC Medicaid. Without this role, project scope, schedule, and budget risks will materialize due to the lack of strong project management and coordination across multiple stakeholders, all to meet the federally mandated deadline of January 1, 2027.
