A global market-leading healthcare technology business in Edinburgh is looking for an Implementation Project Manager initially on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with a great chance of it converting to a permanent role. The organisation is trusted by hospitals and healthcare providers and has a reputation for delivering AI-driven solutions that streamline healthcare operations and provide clinicians with smarter insights. With a record-breaking quarter recently behind them, this is an exciting opportunity to work with a company that is both innovative and highly respected.
This is an end-to-end project role with genuine ownership. You'll lead complex, client-facing software implementations for healthcare providers, seeing projects through from initiation to handover, and ensuring solutions are delivered efficiently, adopted successfully, and generate real value.
About the Company
This organisation was one of the first in its field to bring AI into real-world healthcare environments not as a gimmick, but as practical technology embedded directly into existing systems. Their platform enables clinicians to access multiple advanced applications through a single, integrated environment, removing the friction of disconnected tools and helping teams work smarter under increasing time pressure.
Rather than replacing healthcare professionals, their technology is designed to support them, reducing workload, accelerating workflows, and enabling faster, better-informed decisions. The business is experiencing high client demand and has a bright future roadmap, continuing to strengthen its position as a trusted partner to healthcare organisations globally.
The company still has a start-up feel with an innovative and collaborative environment. The culture is second to none, with very positive workplace metrics (well above average), reflecting how well it treats and supports its people.
The Role
You will coordinate across internal teams, external partners, and healthcare clients to deliver high-quality software implementations. You will manage scope, timelines, and resources, proactively identify and mitigate risks, and ensure a smooth transition to operational teams. Projects are primarily delivered using Waterfall methodology, so a structured, methodical approach is essential.
Key Responsibilities
** Lead end-to-end client implementation projects, managing scope, timelines, and resources to ensure successful delivery.
** Act as the primary point of contact for clients, partners, and internal teams, facilitating communication and collaboration.
** Proactively identify and manage risks and issues, implementing mitigation strategies and escalating when necessary.
** Maintain detailed project plans, track milestones, and report on project progress, ensuring alignment with contractual commitments.
** Coordinate training and enablement activities to support client adoption and operational readiness.
** Contribute to continuous improvement by sharing lessons learned and best practices across the team.
About You
** Proven experience delivering client-facing software projects from end-to-end - essential
** Strong stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills, engaging technical and non-technical audiences alike
** Excellent planning, organisational, and risk management capabilities, with high attention to detail
** Familiarity with structured project delivery methodologies, primarily Waterfall, and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Smartsheet, Asana)
** Background in healthcare technology, healthcare environments, and professional certifications such as PMP or CSM are a plus
** Strong commercial acumen, understanding the business and client impact of project decisions
** Enthusiastic, energetic, and proactive, taking ownership to drive projects forward while maintaining a collaborative approach
