Make a difference.

As a Project Manager you will:

Employ expert level skills in project planning (scope and schedule), resource management (people, technology, budget), risk management, documentation, stakeholder management (boards, commissions, health professionals, health associations, Results Washington, executive leadership team, HELMS project team, and internal division partners), quality improvement/control, reporting results and project closure.

Option 2: A bachelor’s degree or higher; AND two (2) or more years of professional experience in project management, which includes experience managing complex projects involving multiple staff and stakeholders/interested parties.

AND (for BOTH of the above options) demonstrated experience in the following:

Risk management, organizational development and/or strategic planning. Managing projects related to high profile public policy issues. Demonstrated experience using both theoretical and practical aspects of project management. Using project management methodologies, techniques, and tools. Utilizing project management software, such as Microsoft Project.

Each credentialing application is unique to the profession, with many requiring input and buy-in from external stakeholders (boards and commissions), making the work of this project complex. The project is politically sensitive with many external stakeholders sharing an interest in its success. Improving credentialing timeframes means more providers in Washington’s healthcare system to provide safe patient care for the 7.7 million residents of our state.
