A Brief Overview

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford Medicine is a world class healthcare system whose mission is to heal humanity through science and compassion, one patient at a time. The Planning, Design + Construction ("PD+C") department plays a key role to help Stanford Medicine accomplish this mission by managing and delivering capital projects from new clinics and renovations of existing clinics to new state-of-the-art hospital renovations and expansions on time, on budget and on schedule.

Stanford Medicine's Planning Design + Construction department supports three hospital entities; Stanford Healthcare (SHC), Lucile Packard Children's Health (LPCH) and SHC-ValleyCare (VC); two medical foundations; University Healthcare Alliance (UHA) and Packard Children's Health Alliance (PCHA), a blood center network and several ancillary entities and relationships operating in the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding markets. This mix includes a Level One trauma center, a high acuity Children's Hospital, and two state-of-the-art cancer centers, as well as a full complement of health services and service lines, spread out across seven million square feet of facilities, five primary hubs and over 100 smaller locations. The larger Stanford Academic Medical Center includes the Stanford University School of Medicine, with renown research and teaching faculties. The Stanford Medicine environment is fast-paced and tech-savvy - a collaborative culture focusing on goals, metrics and continuous innovation.

Stanford Medicine's PD+C Capital Projects range from minor upgrades to complex projects working with critical infrastructure that must co-exist in an operational "24/7" healing environment. Projects last from months to multiple years. Budgets range from a few thousand dollars to one billion dollars. Over the next five to seven years the capital outlay is expected to be approximately four billion dollars.

The recently developed Executive Director of Design and Construction role is a senior leadership position that plans, oversees, integrates and inspires the work and strategic direction of PD+C's Capital Project Directors and Construction Directors and their respective teams, partners and peers.

Working closely with the Vice President of Planning, Design & Construction, the Executive Director of Design and Construction will oversee the core business of PD+C -- translating long range planning into project execution and timely delivery by guiding the project through design and construction teams to successful and sustainable outcomes.

The ideal Executive Director candidate will be an experienced "hands-on" manager accustomed to leading dynamic and diverse technical teams, with a proven track record managing engineering and architectural projects in sophisticated medical environments. This individual will be skillful at interacting with the organizations' leaders (C-Suites and respective service line and support function Vice Presidents), Faculty, and staff in a responsive, diplomatic, patient, and collaborative manner, without losing sight of budget, scope and schedule objectives while navigating a dynamic world.
