Clinical Program Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical program manager in Colorado?
Most clinical program managers in Colorado hold a clinical license, commonly a registered nurse license issued by the Colorado Board of Nursing, a licensed clinical social worker credential from the Colorado State Board of Social Work Examiners, or a licensed professional counselor credential from the Colorado State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. Employers typically expect a bachelor's degree in a clinical or health administration field, several years of direct patient care or program coordination experience, and familiarity with Colorado's behavioral health and value-based care delivery models.
How much do clinical program managers make in Colorado?
Clinical program managers in Colorado earn a median of about $152,730 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $89,900 for the lowest 10% to over $289,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical program managers in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring clinical program managers in Colorado include Lockheed Martin, University of Colorado, and DaVita, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's large integrated health systems and managed care organizations generate the most consistent openings, particularly in the Denver metro and Front Range corridor.
Which Colorado cities have the most clinical program manager jobs?
Denver, Littleton, and Englewood have the most clinical program manager openings in Colorado. Denver's concentration of hospital systems, managed care headquarters, and behavioral health networks drives the bulk of postings, while Aurora's medical campus anchored by the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado sustains steady demand, and Colorado Springs draws openings from Centura Health and military-affiliated healthcare networks.
Are there remote clinical program manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely administrative roles because clinical program managers often oversee care delivery that requires on-site coordination. About 83% of clinical program manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting a meaningful but minority share of the market. The functions most likely to be performed remotely include utilization review, population health analytics, and care management for telehealth programs.
How can I get hired as a clinical program manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a care coordinator or case manager role first, which many Colorado health systems use as a direct pipeline into program management. Intermountain Health and UCHealth both run new-graduate nurse residency and care transitions programs in Colorado that build the clinical and operational skills employers expect. Earning a case management certification or completing a project management credential strengthens a candidate's profile considerably. From a care coordinator position, lateral moves into quality improvement specialist or clinical educator roles at the same organization are common stepping stones toward a program manager title.
Where can I find and apply to clinical program manager jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to clinical program manager jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings. Search for roles that match your clinical background, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
