About the Role

The Project Director serves as a strategic leader responsible for the end-to-end delivery of large-scale Federal Employee Program (FEP) initiatives across all business units. This role acts as a dual Project Manager, bridging the gap between product strategy execution and project lifecycle implementation. You will identify key stakeholders, build networks of contacts, and drive change to achieve specific project goals.

In this position, you will partner with FEP IT, product, and delivery teams to translate strategic priorities into integrated delivery plans.

You will influence the organization at all levels, providing decision-ready insights to enable effective executive governance. Additionally, you will coach and mentor project team members on methodology and best practices, ensuring business readiness from training and communications through cutover planning and operational stability.

How We Work

Elevance Health operates a Hybrid Workforce Strategy. This role requires associates to be in-office three days per week to foster collaboration and connectivity, while maintaining flexibility to support productivity and work-life balance. This approach combines structured office engagement with the autonomy of virtual work. Candidates must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of our Costa Mesa, CA, or Chicago, IL locations, unless an accommodation is granted as required by law. Alternate locations may be considered if they fall within a commuting distance from an office.
