CCPI advances VHA as a center for the development of data-driven, value-based health care solutions that transform and improve Veteran care while reducing cost and administrative burden, and leads legislatively directed pilot initiatives. This role will serve as the Task Order (TO) Project Manager, the primary Contractor point of contact with SPD/CCPI and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), supporting a portfolio of up to six concurrent pilots and associated CCPI program management activities, working closely with the contract-aligned Program Director, workstream leads, and Government leadership to ensure task order requirements are executed consistently and in accordance with VA standards and enterprise objectives.

In this role, the Project Manager collaborates with the Program Director, Pilot Project Manager, Stakeholder Engagement & Communications Specialist, and Technical Writer/Editor to ensure coordinated execution across the SPD/CCPI portfolio and supports development of executive-ready briefing materials for SES leadership, governance bodies, and Congressional reporting.
