This role requires you to be in the office on Tuesday & Thursday.

TouchPoint, Support Services, provides customer focused support services. As specialists, we perform services including healthcare housekeeping, management in laundry processing, patient transportation, and food service. TouchPoint is a compilation of the most committed and talented individuals working in the industry today. Our dedication to quality, exceptional customer service, and unequivocal results allows us to provide the best outcomes to our clients.

The Manager, Strategic Projects & Innovation is a key execution and change management role within TouchPoint, reporting directly to the Senior Vice President of Strategy, Operations & Analytics. This position plays a critical role in operationalizing enterprise strategy by leading cross-functional initiatives that span technology deployments, new business transitions, operational transformation, and special projects.

This role is not a traditional project manager position focused solely on timelines and task tracking. It is designed for a data-driven operator who can manage ambiguity, connect strategy to execution, and drive progress across teams that do not report directly to them.

The Manager partners closely with senior leaders, national teams, and field operators to ensure initiatives are implemented effectively, adopted in operations, and deliver measurable operational and financial outcomes.

This position is part of a newly established, forward-thinking team focused on national transformation in a rapidly growing business sector. You’ll serve as a catalyst for continuous improvement, driving initiatives that enhance both the client and team member experience while delivering measurable financial and operational outcomes.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need a deep understanding of operational execution, service delivery, and change management. You’ll project manage the implementation of key platforms such as Task Up (digital task management) and Elevra (Integrated hospitality technology) to meet evolving needs. Your ability to blend data-driven insights with practical application will empower teams to perform at their best and scale best practices across the country.

You’ll also play a key role in driving the adoption of operational data tools, ensuring they meet real business needs and fuel smarter decision-making.
