Why Children’s Health?

At Children's Health, our mission is to Make Life Better for Children, and we recognize that their health plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.

Through our cutting-edge treatments and affiliation with UT Southwestern, we strive to deliver an extraordinary patient and family experience, ensuring that every moment, big or small, contributes to their overall well-being.

Our dedication to promoting children's health extends beyond our organization and encompasses the broader community. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of children and contribute to a brighter and healthier future for all.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS TO OUR MISSION

Children's Health is building its new Dallas pediatric campus — one of the most significant capital investments in our history and a landmark moment for pediatric care in North Texas. The NPC Planning team is now building the core project management team that will carry this campus from construction through full facility activation and patient-facing go-live.

As Senior Project Manager, you will be embedded in that team - owning departmental activation schedules, managing cross-functional dependencies, and serving as a trusted partner to department leaders across the organization. This is a high-visibility, mission-critical role with direct impact on how Children's Health serves patients and families for decades to come.

● Identify and manage cross-departmental dependencies, coordinating with peer PMs to ensure alignment

● Proactively identify risks and develop mitigation strategies before they affect timeline or budget

● Support and implement change management strategies to drive staff readiness and organizational adoption

● Leverage healthcare facility experience to anticipate challenges and bring proven approaches to the team
