Project Manager, Industry Partnerships, SHC

Stanford Medicine is one of the world's most innovative health care systems, and it is situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the world's most innovative geographic regions. The potential to co-create technology, products, and services with industry to make magnitude-level changes to patient care and clinical operations has never been greater.

Stanford Medicine is seeking a Project Manager, Industry Partnerships (PM) to support the Director of Industry Partnerships (SHC) in leading our co-creation efforts with industry. The PM will manage a five-part effort to discover the best opportunities for Stanford Health Care (SHC) to invest its time and energy to develop order-of-magnitude improvements in patient care and clinical operations.

The five-phase cycle includes:

• Discovery - gathering opportunities for consideration

• Due Diligence - performing a 360 enterprise stakeholder review to create a balanced scorecard

• Selection - making recommendations to leadership and overseeing contract negotiations

• Pilot - oversight, KPI tracking, and problem mitigation as the pilot project executes in the health care system

• Exit - advise leadership and industry partner on next steps post-pilot

The PM will work with Sr. Executives in the SHC system and Sr. Leaders across Stanford Medicine. The PM will also work with Sr. VPs or Execs of Fortune 500 companies and founders of young start-up companies. Most projects will run inside of SHC, but due to Stanford Medicine's multi-entity structure, the PM will need to manage a decision-making process across multiple boundaries, including the adult hospital, the children's hospital, Stanford University, and the School of Medicine (SoM). As such, the work of the PM and Director will have a broad and significant impact on SHC and SoM. The projects the Intake team will work on will total millions of dollars annually in funding and staff resources.

The PM will take projects from the original concept through final implementation of contained risk. The PM will influence projects which are proposed to senior leaders, but the final selection will be made by Stanford Medicine leadership. The work will comprise 50%-time contribution towards project leadership and 50%-time as an analytic contributor.
