In pursuit of massively increasing access to healthcare across the globe, we are building a new healthcare system from the ground up. There are thousands of hard problems to solve, and the potential to make world-changing impact.
In this role you’ll be responsible for project managing the implementation of infrastructure that eventually delivers healthcare to billions. You’ll have to balance an ability to hit cost, quality, and timeline goals with an ability to build processes and tools to scale your work.
You Will

• Solve really hard problems with clear framing, a deep understanding of the data, creative options, a clear recommendation, and prioritization conversations with cross-functional stakeholders and senior leaders.
• Identify and implement scalable processes and tools to automate yourself out of the execution work. (Bonus points if you build/iterate simple software tools in JavaScript, Python, and/or SQL.)
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to implement recommendations.
• Project manage internal and external “resources” to hit cost, quality, and timeline goals for construction, manufacturing, maintenance and supply chain projects. Roll up your sleeves to help solve any problem that comes up.

You Are

• A Trusted Partner - Teammates want to be in the trenches with you.
• Impact-Driven - You want to leave the world better than you found it, so you believe there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed in photos. (Although we concede those are cute.)
• An Owner - You act like an owner, not an employee. You take initiative. Nothing is too big or too small for you to lend a hand.
• Scrappy - You hustle and you roll up your sleeves to get stuff done.
• Detail-Oriented - You are exceptionally well organized and thorough.
• A Problem Solver - You love breaking down highly complex problems into their component parts, communicating insights, and implementing high ROI (return on investment) solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Excellent communication skills
• Open to working in operations roles outside of real estate and construction. (Note: the first problems you’ll solve are in the built environment but you have to be interested in solving operational problems in other areas of Forward throughout your tenure.)
• Bachelor’s degree
• Proficient in GSheets or Excel
• 3+ years of experience solving difficult problems and implementing complex projects
• Proficient with project management software

Preferred Qualifications

• Supply chain or logistics experience
• Proven ability to project manage in complex environments:
• Construction or manufacturing experience
• Startup experience where you had to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with constantly changing priorities
