Altera Digital Health

Project Analyst – Birmingham

About Us

At Altera Digital Health, we're on a mission to make healthcare work better - for clinicians, patients, and the organisations that serve them.

As a leading healthcare IT company, we deliver digital solutions that help NHS trusts, health boards, and care providers across the UK transform the way they work. From electronic patient records to clinical decision support and interoperability, our technology sits at the heart of some of the UK's most critical healthcare environments.

About the Role

Altera Digital Health is looking for a highly efficient, independent, and motivated Project Analyst to join our Professional Services Team. While prior experience in Healthcare IT is a plus, it’s not a requirement - we are looking for someone with a strong growth mindset who thrives under pressure and is eager to develop their career.

We view this role as a high-potential growth position. We are looking for a future PMO Manager successor who can progressively take ownership of key PMO functions and grow into a leadership role, creating capacity for wider team growth. As a Project Analyst, you will independently support the day-to-day operations of our Project Management Office (PMO), working closely with project managers to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with a focus on quality.

Crucially, you will act as an AI Champion. Rather than just a theoretical interest, you will actively drive the practical use of internal AI tools (like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT) to deliver real-world efficiencies, whether that is automating routine status reports, rapidly synthesising large datasets, or identifying smarter ways to run our PMO. By doing so you will spark innovation not just within Professional Services, but across the wider EMEA region. You will also serve as a central connector for EMEA, acting as the vital link between the PMO, Project Managers, CSE, Sales, Commercial, Marketing, and our global PMO counterparts (US/Canada/Aus) to ensure seamless alignment. If you are passionate about learning and contributing to meaningful healthcare projects for the NHS, we’d love to hear from you!
