Project Management Office Leader Valley Vital Care • Corporate • Full-Time, Salaried, Exempt Sr. Manager / Director / VP, by level
Overview
We are seeking an experienced and strategic Project Management Office Leader to join the Valley Vital Care team. This vital role owns the integration and program-delivery engine for Valley Vital Care's acquisition strategy, serving as the central integrator across Corporate Development, Finance, IT, HR, and Clinical. The ideal candidate will be accountable for integration timeline, synergy realization, governance and reporting, risk management, and the maturity of the integration playbook itself.
Valley Vital Care is an infusion pharmacy headquartered in Waynesboro, VA, servicing all of Virginia and West Virginia. We operate locations in Winchester, Strasburg, Midlothian, Waynesboro, Lynchburg, and Roanoke, Virginia, as well as Charleston, West Virginia. Our therapies include biologic therapy for chronic conditions, long- and short-term antibiotic therapies for self-administration, TPN, and enteral feedings.
This is a hands-on, centrally based corporate role for an experienced program leader who thrives in PE-backed, growth-stage environments. The PMO is measured on the levers that produce the financial outcome of an acquisition—integration on-time delivery, synergy capture, Day 1 readiness, governance discipline, and risk closure—while functional leaders retain ownership of their domain standards. The PMO is the single named accountable person for whether an integration lands on plan.
Duties
- Own the master integration plan for every acquisition: map every workstream, sequence activities, identify dependencies, and establish the governance structure that runs the deal from signing through stabilization.
- Own the integration operating rhythm: workstream stand-ups, weekly integration steering reviews, and monthly value-capture reviews with the executive team.
- Drive Day 1 readiness across every function—payroll, systems access, customer and referrer communications, legal entity changes, supplier notifications—all coordinated to a single close date.
- Translate the synergies underwritten in the deal model into a tracked, owned, time-bound capture plan; partner with Finance to validate baselines and confirm realization.
- Maintain the single source of truth for synergy status across the portfolio—target, in-flight, and realized—and own the variance explanation when capture trails plan.
- Manage Transitional Services Agreement (TSA) exits on time and without disruption; TSA costs erode margin quickly if exits slip.
- Own the integration budget and the variance explanation for one-time integration costs against the deal model.
- Own the integration governance model: decision rights, escalation paths, steering cadence, and the rule that no workstream proceeds off-plan without governance sign-off.
- Maintain the portfolio dashboard the executive team and PE sponsor use—status, milestones, synergy capture, and risk—in one consistent format reviewed on a fixed rhythm.
- Own the integration risk and issue (RAID) log; drive mitigation to closure rather than logging risks and watching them age.
- Coordinate Finance, IT, HR, Clinical, and the field at the workstream level to remove friction at the handoffs, where most integration value is lost.
- Drive 95%+ adherence to the standardized integration playbook while flagging where the playbook itself is the bottleneck.
- Serve as the single point of contact for acquired-company leadership regarding integration timeline, decisions, and escalation.
- Partner with HR on change management for acquired employees: communications, retention of key talent through the transition, and cultural integration.
- Build bench strength and an internal pipeline; identify and develop the next layer of integration project managers.
- Own the M&A integration playbook as a living asset: every deal makes it better, and the next deal is easier because of it.
- Run a structured post-integration review after each deal; document what worked, retire what did not, and feed the lessons back into the playbook.
- Deliver a 90-day portfolio and process assessment to the COO; maintain and review the integration playbook quarterly.
Skills
- Progressive program or project management leadership with experience owning multi-workstream programs end to end.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in PE-backed, growth-stage, or comparable high-tempo environments.
- Direct M&A integration, IMO, or post-merger integration experience.
- Track record of program improvement using structured methods (Lean, Six Sigma, PMI, or equivalent operating system experience).
- Comfort with program and financial data: portfolio dashboards, synergy models, and basic financial statements.
- Strong cross-functional integration skills across Finance, IT, HR, Clinical, and field operations.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with executive teams, PE sponsors, and acquired-company leadership.
- Knowledge of change management principles and the ability to drive cultural integration through transitions.

- Bachelor's degree – Required; advanced degree (MBA, MHA) or PMP/PgMP certification – Preferred
- 5+ years of progressive program or project management leadership – Required
- 2+ years owning multi-workstream programs end to end – Required
- Direct M&A integration, IMO, or post-merger integration experience – Strongly Preferred
- Healthcare, multi-site, or specialty-pharmacy platform experience – Preferred

Working Conditions
- Centrally based with travel ~25–40% to target and acquired sites, concentrated around diligence, Day 1, and the 100-day window
- Occasional travel to the PE sponsor and other corporate sites
