Position Summary
The goal of this role is to keep the clinical executive team organized, in support of elevating patient experience. The clinical executive team carries a large portfolio that spans quality, risk, revenue integrity, implementation, labor supply, and education. Much of it is tracked informally and measured thinly. The Project Manager (PM) brings structure and insight into that work.
The Clinical PM will work in a cross-functional environment alongside the RCM PM, Technical PM, and Implementation PM to move projects towards key clinical business goals. This position will work closely with the Enterprise Product Manager to support the enterprise portfolio and product ecosystem health.
The Clinical PM also acts as the team coordinator: They arrange meetings, take tasks the team assigns, and keep every project, incident, document, and program visible, owned, dated, and measured.
Key Responsibilities
A. Project Tracking and New Projects
- Maintain the clinical portfolio tracker of all active, on-hold, and backlog projects.
- Follow up with owners between meetings on next steps, due dates, and dependencies; escalate slippage to the team early.
- Work with the Enterprise Product Manager to review project requests on a weekly basis.
- Maintain and report on the RAID log, mitigation processes, and project health.
B. Clinical Programs
- Work with the Enterprise Product Manager to keep a register of every program in place.
- Be informed by responsible parties for recruitment, retention, mentoring, and rotation programs to provide program health reports and support high level project management.
C. Data Analytics and Reporting
- Build and maintain a reporting suite for the clinical team.
- Work with Clinical Informatics on special projects.
- Audit, pull, and prepare the necessary data for the monthly PPC presentation on clinical work. Ensure the clinical deck is board ready.
D. Support to the Clinical Executive Team
- Arrange the weekly clinical executive meeting and any other meetings the team needs.
- Keep shared folders, templates, and the document library organized.
- Route clinical escalations to the appropriate team member immediately.
- Serve as the team's point of contact with other project managers and department leads on clinical projects.
- Provide logistics for the CEQC when it meets: agenda, minutes, and action tracking.
- Where Graphium or RCM data exist, record before-and-after numbers for each initiative (denial rate, charge capture, first-time starts, turnover time) so results can be reported.
Required Qualifications
- Three or more years in healthcare program or project management, quality, risk, credentialing, or clinical operations support, ideally in a physician group or ambulatory surgery setting.
- Demonstrated skill in data analysis and reporting: advanced Excel, plus experience building dashboards (such as Power BI or Tableau). SQL is a plus.
- Ability to explain numbers clearly, including their limits, to physicians and executives.
- Experience running or tracking recruitment, residency or student rotation, or mentoring programs is a plus.
- Experience coordinating across departments and working with other project managers. Revenue cycle familiarity is a plus.
- Experience with incident reporting, performance improvement, or accreditation preparation.
- Strong document control discipline and meticulous record-keeping.
- Fluency with Microsoft 365 and Excel; experience with a project tool such as monday.com is a plus.
- Strong written communication and the judgment to follow up persistently without friction.
- Discretion with confidential clinical and personnel information.

Clinical Project Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical project manager in Texas?
Most clinical project managers in Texas enter the field with a bachelor's degree in a life science, nursing, public health, or healthcare administration and then build experience in clinical research coordination or trial operations. Texas does not require a state-issued license specific to this role, but employers across Houston and Dallas consistently look for candidates holding or pursuing the Project Management Professional credential through PMI, or the Clinical Research Associate certification through ACRP or SOCRA. Starting as a clinical research coordinator or study coordinator at a hospital system or CRO is the most common path into project management in Texas.
How much do clinical project managers make in Texas?
Clinical project managers in Texas earn a median of about $98,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,460 for the lowest 10% to over $162,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical project managers in Texas?
Employers hiring clinical project managers in Texas right now include Medpace, UT Southwestern Medical Center, and SGS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of large integrated health systems, academic medical centers, and medical device manufacturers means demand stays consistent throughout the year rather than spiking seasonally.
Which Texas cities have the most clinical project manager jobs?
Dallas, Texas, and Irving have the most clinical project manager openings in Texas. Houston dominates because of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, which houses dozens of research institutions and hospital systems running active trials. Dallas draws demand from its concentration of major health system headquarters and life sciences companies, while Austin's growing biotech and health tech sector accounts for a rising share of postings.
Are there remote clinical project manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most healthcare roles. About 29% of clinical project manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that much of the work involves coordinating teams, managing timelines, and reviewing documentation rather than conducting procedures on site. Protocol management, vendor oversight, and regulatory submission tasks are the parts of the role most likely to be performed fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a clinical project manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical research coordinator or trial assistant role at one of Texas's large health systems or academic medical centers, such as those within the Texas Medical Center in Houston or UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, both of which regularly hire entry-level research staff. Moving laterally from adjacent roles in healthcare administration, regulatory affairs, or clinical data management is also common. Earning a SOCRA or ACRP certification before applying signals credibility and helps candidates stand out without years of direct project management experience.
