Summary

The Vice President, Provider Solutions DDI Delivery is the single accountable executive for delivery outcomes across assigned Provider DDIs and owns end-to-end performance across multiple concurrent Medicaid Provider system implementations. This executive converts approved solutions, architecture, cost models, contracts, and staffing assumptions into executable delivery plans and establishes the governance, financial controls, talent, and cross-functional accountability required to deliver commitments with quality and predictability. The role drives resolution, manages and coordinates escalations, and provides concise executive visibility focused on decisions, owners, deadlines, recovery actions, and measurable outcomes. This leader directly manages a team of project-dedicated senior leaders that manage individual implementations.

Your role in our mission

- Own scope, schedule, cost, quality, contractual commitments, go-live, stabilization, and transition to operations across assigned Provider DDIs.

- Maintain an integrated portfolio view of milestones, dependencies, staffing, risks, decisions, financial performance, and recovery actions; provide reporting that drives executive decisions and resolution.

- Maintain high-quality relationships with client executives and implementation teams, effectively managing the relationship to ensure client needs are met and overall client satisfaction.

- Lead integrated governance across Provider DDIs with clear decision rights, participants, outputs, and escalation paths while preserving implementation-level delivery cadences.

- Enforce stage gates and approved baselines across solution strategy, architecture, scope, cost, staffing, schedule, product gaps, dependencies, and operational readiness before commitments advance.

- Effectively drive transformation of solution delivery practices in accordance with organizational strategies and ensure compliance across projects and project teams.

- Align Product, Engineering, Architecture, Solutioning, Implementation, Customer Experience, Systems, Security, Data and Analytics, Finance, Account leadership, and delivery partners to approved commitments, owners, and dates.

- Pressure-test delivery assumptions, surface constraints early, and require executable recovery plans with accountable owners, deadlines, dependencies, and measurable exit criteria.

- Own delivery economics, including budget, forecast, estimate at completion, labor and non-labor costs, change control, revenue timing, margin, productivity, and resource utilization.

- Keep delivery plans, staffing, forecasts, cost models, pricing assumptions, and contractual commitments aligned to an executable baseline, with impacts and tradeoffs visible before decisions are made.

- Drive DDI optimization through standardization, reusable assets, earlier value creation, environment readiness, automation, AI-enabled delivery, and continuous improvement without weakening quality or governance.

- Build a scalable Provider delivery organization with clear roles, RACIs, capacity and succession plans, performance expectations, and closed-loop adoption of lessons learned.
