The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research organization at the University of Washington. Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Cost Effectiveness and Efficiency; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations.
IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.
IHME has an outstanding opportunity for a Temporary Project Manager to join the Financial Planning and Operations team (FPO). This position will communicate across teams about data and critical resource-related information, manage that data, ensure its timeliness and quality, and the tools and processes we have to do so. These include developing and implementing new tools, re-designing certain processes, and managing changes in workflow between teams. FPO requires additional capacity from someone with a dedicated focus to achieve this in a timely and high-impact fashion. This individual will play a key role in driving the organization's success by focusing on three core areas: improving existing processes and tools, standardizing practices, and solving complex problems. Projects will include but are not limited to: a. adapting and testing new project management software to meet team needs; b. modifying and expanding ticketing systems to improve workflow; c. generating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to take into account evolving organizational needs and revise SOPs based on feedback from the SOP audience. This is a 12-month term-limited appointment from date of hire.
