Position Overview:
We are seeking a visionary Vice President of Data Strategy to lead our enterprise data strategy and accelerate our growth as an AI-first healthcare organization. This executive will own the end-to-end data lifecycle-from infrastructure and governance to advanced analytics, machine learning, and generative AI-and translate that foundation into measurable clinical, operational, and financial outcomes.
The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist, technologist, and builder: someone who has scaled modern data platforms, deployed production AI systems, and navigated the unique complexity of healthcare data. You will partner with product, engineering, clinical, and commercial leadership to ensure data and AI are competitive differentiators, not back-office functions.
Location: This is a hybrid role with 1 day a week in our Atlanta or Philadelphia office.
