📋 Description

• Orchestrate alignment and own integrated execution across the full lifecycle: intake shaping → pilot validation → adoption readiness → enterprise implementation handoff • Define and enforce readiness standards that determine whether a solution is truly scale-ready • Maintain disciplined defect and risk management to prevent post-launch instability and recurring “fix-forward” cycles • Convert validated solutions into complete, implementation-ready handoff packages • Act as the technical arbiter when scope, feasibility, sequencing, or quality trade-offs must be resolved • Partner with engineering and enterprise delivery teams to align on backlog readiness, technical reviews, environments, UAT planning, release sequencing, and cutover readiness • Establish closed-loop feedback from pilots, adoption signals, and scaled outcomes to continuously improve execution standards and playbooks • Strengthen execution maturity over time by institutionalizing repeatable, disciplined pilot-to-scale practices across the organization.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree required from 4-year college or university; technical degree strongly preferred (Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent) • 8+ years’ experience driving complex technical delivery, platform implementation, workflow execution, or cross-functional technology programs in matrixed environments within pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare, or similarly structured industries • Demonstrated ability to drive execution through ambiguity with strong sequencing, dependency management, and decision discipline • Strong technical fluency across modern digital workflows, integrations, automation, and AI-enabled experiences • Proven experience defining and enforcing quality standards (acceptance criteria, testing expectations, release readiness, operational guardrails) • Excellent stakeholder leadership and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical complexity into clear execution decisions.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health, life and disability benefits • 401(k) with company contribution and match • Generous time off package including vacation, personal days, holidays and other leaves • Performance-based cash incentive • Eligibility for annual equity awards
