- Lead the integrated delivery operating model and execution cadence, driving accountability, follow-through, and alignment across functional, technical, data, testing, PMO, vendor, client, architecture, and operational workstreams.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture, engineering, domain leads, and delivery managers to validate solution design, confirm technical feasibility, and keep execution aligned with architecture standards and solution intent.
- Manage cross-workstream dependencies, handoffs, blockers, sequencing conflicts, delivery tradeoffs, critical path activities, and commitment risks with clear recommendations and recovery options.
- Drive closure of cross-workstream risks, issues, assumptions, actions, decisions, change requests, and other governance items that affect integrated delivery outcomes.
- Own readiness execution across SIT, UAT, operational readiness, integration validation, deployment preparation, and go-live readiness, ensuring required evidence, deliverables, and team preparedness are in place.
- Partner with PMO to maintain delivery rigor, schedule compliance, delivery health assessments, action tracking, governance preparation, financial visibility, and executive-ready reporting.
- Partner with and advise the Engagement Lead on delivery strategy, program-wide execution, client communications, executive escalations, and recovery actions for at-risk workstreams or milestones.
- Influence stakeholders and gain alignment on scope, objectives, schedules, budgets, dependencies, readiness criteria, decision points, and other critical program commitments.
- Lead resource planning, staffing alignment, and coaching of delivery resources to resolve technical, operational, and execution challenges and achieve program goals.
- Translate technical delivery risks, architecture impacts, integration concerns, and readiness gaps to clear business implications, decision options, and executive-level recommendations.
- Develop and deliver governance materials, executive updates, and presentations that support delivery decisions, client confidence, proposal efforts, and future business opportunities.
What we're looking for- Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience; degree in business, information technology, engineering, healthcare administration, or related field preferred.
- Seven or more years of progressive program management, principal project management, or solution delivery leadership experience in large-scale implementation environments.
- Experience leading complex Provider, Medicaid Enterprise, healthcare, or highly regulated delivery programs across multiple workstreams, vendors, and client stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to manage integrated plans, dependencies, RAID, change control, governance, readiness gates, executive reporting, and delivery health for complex programs.
- Strong understanding of enterprise architecture, solution design, system integration, integration testing, deployment planning, and operational readiness.
- Proven ability to influence executive stakeholders, client leaders, vendors, and internal delivery teams, including leadership of delivery recovery, escalation, tradeoff, and readiness decisions.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical topics into business implications and executive-level recommendations.
Success in this role looks like- Provider DDI workstreams execute with clear ownership, synchronized plans, and minimal delivery friction.
- Risks, dependencies, decisions, readiness status, and integration health are visible, actively managed, and clearly communicated.
- The solution is delivered as designed, tested, operationally ready, and aligned with architecture and contractual commitments.
- Clients and internal stakeholders have confidence in delivery execution, issue resolution, executive communication, and go-live readiness.
