Diverge Health is a healthcare company focused on improving access and outcomes for Medicaid patients through partnerships with primary care providers. The Integration Project Manager will coordinate and execute a multi-phase merger integration, managing workstreams, change management, executive communications, risks, milestones, and roadmap planning.
Responsibilities
- Orient quickly to the existing plan, workstream owners, and stakeholders, and drive pre-close milestones to completion alongside our Chief of Staff, who leads this effort
- Build detailed 2026 execution plans across all workstreams and maintain them as a living document, with clear ownership, tracked milestones, and updates as priorities and complexity shift
- Track status across workstreams and facilitate workgroup meetings, proactively surfacing risks and blockers, driving decisions, and documenting outcomes to keep stakeholders aligned and accountable
- Build and execute a change management strategy across both organizations
- Deliver crisp, executive-ready updates and materials for steering committee and leadership reviews, reducing burden on leadership rather than adding to it
- Operate at both altitudes, setting direction at the program level while rolling up your sleeves to execute directly when a task needs it
- Partner with leadership team members to shape the 2027 roadmap, spotting gaps in readiness and coordination as the integration matures
Skills
- PMP certification or equivalent project management credential
- 3+ years of project management experience, including multiple (2+) end-to-end M&A integrations
- Proficiency in modern project management tooling, including Aha!, Microsoft Project, and SharePoint
- Comfort with high-availability expectations, including responsiveness during evenings and weekends for escalations
- Healthcare industry experience, particularly in value-based care, technology-enablement clinical services companies, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), or managed care organizations
- Listen first, orient quickly, and earn trust through follow-through
- Stay steady in ambiguity, turning unclear situations into clear next steps
- Hold yourself accountable to outcomes, knowing that this integration has real stakes for real people
- Bring people through change with empathy and clarity, understanding that how the work gets done matters as much as whether it gets done
- Operate effectively with close initial oversight during a ramp period, receiving that structure as an investment in shared success rather than a signal of distrust
- A strong representative of both organizations' mission, vision, and values in every interaction, every meeting, and every hard conversation throughout this integration
- At this time, we are unable to support hiring in Alaska and Hawaii due to our primary operations being based in the Eastern and Central time zones*
- Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future
- Consulting background or experience working in a consulting-adjacent environment
- Systems thinking, with genuine comfort with complexity, interdependencies, and operating without complete information
- Experience bridging technology strategy and operational execution, including partnering closely with technology leaders to align product and systems decisions with broader integration goals
- Chicago-based with availability for regular in-person presence preferred
