ROLE OVERVIEW

COMPENSATION: $132,000 - $160,000/annually in addition to a competitive bonus plan

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead end-to-end program management across assigned EHR migration workstreams, with a focus on integrations, data migration and archival, and system configurations

• Coordinate cross-functional teams including Engineering, Practice Operations, Clinical Leadership, Revenue Cycle Management, Product Management, and Data, while managing third-party vendor relationships and accountability

• Build and maintain detailed project plans, milestone tracking, RAID logs, charters, and status reporting frameworks appropriate for a waterfall program with phased waves

• Own the granular execution detail that migrations require — tracking data export requests, mapping progress, vendor deliverables, and handoff status at every stage

• Partner with engineering and architecture teams to translate technical requirements into executable project plans and ensure alignment across workstreams

• Develop and maintain executive-level communications that clearly reflect program status, risks, issues, and mitigation strategies

• Establish and manage project governance structures and drive accountability across all stakeholders throughout the program lifecycle

• Identify risks and dependencies proactively, develop mitigation plans, and escalate issues with clear recommendations

• Act as a strategic partner to internal teams, keeping the focus on outcomes and ensuring the program stays on track against LifeStance's 2030 growth agenda

• Direct experience with EHR migration workstreams including integrations, data migration and archival, and system configurations; candidates with Athena Health experience will be prioritized

• Proven ability to work directly alongside technical teams — architects, data engineers, and integrations engineers — and manage complex, multi-vendor programs to completion

• Strong command of waterfall program governance, including phased delivery models, milestone-based tracking, RAID log management, and executive reporting

• Experience with project management tooling including Smartsheet, Monday.com, or equivalent platforms

• Exceptional ability to manage detail and execution across parallel workstreams without losing sight of the broader program timeline and dependencies
