This role will partner across business, product, engineering, architecture, finance, portfolio, and delivery teams to translate business priorities into technology roadmap implications, investment themes, capability needs, scorecards, leadership decision points, and measurable outcomes.
The ideal candidate brings experience working across large-scale, multi-year technology portfolios of $350M+ with multiple initiatives, platforms, products, stakeholders, and cross-functional dependencies. You must be able to operate at a strategic level, synthesize complex information, influence senior stakeholders, and turn ambiguity into clear recommendations and action.

• Support annual and quarterly planning by developing strategic inputs, roadmap alignment insights, investment framing, scorecard themes, value narratives, and leadership-ready recommendations.
• Facilitate cross-functional strategy-to-execution discussions that clarify priorities, frame tradeoffs, resolve ambiguity, align stakeholders, and convert strategic direction into actionable plans.
• Translate portfolio, roadmap, financial, OKR, delivery, and technology health information into concise insights that help leaders understand what is working, what is at risk, what decisions are needed, and where focus should shift.
• Monitor external market trends, emerging technologies, healthcare technology shifts, digital capability trends, and internal performance signals to inform technology strategy and investment recommendations.
• Drive follow-through on strategic decisions by ensuring leadership decisions are translated into clear actions, owners, milestones, scorecard measures, and execution checkpoints.
Key Deliverables • Technology strategy narrative that clearly communicates priorities, direction, risks, and expected outcomes.
• Integrated business-to-technology roadmap view connecting business priorities, product roadmaps, technology capabilities, modernization work, investment timing, and major dependencies.
• Investment alignment view showing how funded work maps to enterprise goals, business priorities, OKRs, roadmap priorities, technology strategy, and measurable outcomes.
• Technology strategy scorecard covering roadmap progress, investment health, modernization progress, delivery confidence, technology risk, value realization, and key leadership decision points.
• Quarterly strategy-to-execution readout for senior leadership.
• Executive decision packages for major roadmap, investment, sequencing, modernization, prioritization, or tradeoff decisions.
• Strategic tradeoff memos that clarify options, risks, value, financial impact, timing, dependencies, and recommended path forward.
• 360-degree organizational health view across strategy, investments, roadmap, execution, risks, dependencies, technology health, capacity, and outcomes.
• Capability gap assessment identifying where business ambition, technology readiness, funding, capacity, or execution plans are misaligned.
