Day - 08 Hour (United States of America)

This is a Stanford Health Care job.

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford Health Care's (SHC) mission is to heal humanity through science and compassion, one patient at a time. As a part of Facilities Services, the Facilities Planning & Design (FPD) Planning team serves to support the mission and core values of the SHC enterprise. The FPD Planning team shapes the SHC environments by creating and managing spaces that empower healing and advance innovation. The FPD Planning team elevates the human experience for patients, providers, and staff by leading thoughtful programming, planning, and design of new spaces, optimizing existing spaces, and facilitating space changes through effective governance, all with the goal of enhancing the delivery of patient care.  

 

FPD Planning is seeking a Senior Program Manager who brings a balance of leadership, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of the healthcare-built environment. This role is an opportunity to manage capital and operational projects from concept through closeout, influence design and construction decisions, and work cross-functionally with leaders, clinicians, and technical teams to deliver projects that have a lasting impact on patient care. 

 

This individual should understand the full lifecycle of healthcare planning and construction projects—from consultant selection, budget development, scope management, and stakeholder coordination to infection control planning, furnishings, and regulatory compliance. In this role, the program manager will also support the development of planning standards, mentor junior program managers, and help evolve the processes that support our rapidly growing health system. 

 

FPD Planning is looking for an individual who can manage complexity with clarity, interpret both architectural drawings and clinical workflows, and bring a high level of professionalism and organization to fast-moving projects. This person should also understand how to communicate with leadership, bring forward data-informed recommendations, and develop presentations that support key governance decisions. 

This role will be hybrid. Regardless, the expectation will be for this person to be able to be on-site any day of the week as needed during work hours. 

 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Lead programming, planning, and design phases across multiple facilities projects 

• Develop scope, program, and budgets in alignment with user and institutional requirements 

• Manage all communications, timelines, and deliverables across stakeholder groups 

• Ensure compliance with health system policies, code requirements, and safety standards 

• Oversee furnishing, equipment, and finish coordination and implementation 

• Maintain complete, auditable project documentation and support reporting needs 

• Provide guidance to junior project managers and serve as a thought partner to FPD leadership 

• Develop test fits and create well thought-out options for review
