Vice President It Grc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

VICE PRESIDENT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
East West Region
Position Summary
The Vice President, Information Technology - East West Region is the senior technology leader accountable for IT operations, service delivery, and acquisition integration across the East West Region. Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, this executive serves as a trusted operational partner and right hand to the CIO, with responsibility for regional infrastructure, telecommunications, applications, support services, financial management, vendors, and technology risk.
This is a hands-on executive operator role. The Vice President will set direction and build a durable operating model while remaining close enough to the work to personally engage in major incidents, vendor escalations, integration decisions, and complex cutovers. The role must balance speed, service, cost, compliance, and continuity in a geographically distributed home health and hospice environment where technology performance can directly affect clinicians and patient care.
The Vice President directly leads the Director of IT Services and Customer Support and is accountable for the effectiveness of the broader regional team, including EMR management and support, Tier 1 general support, employee onboarding and offboarding, and systems administration. The role collaborates closely with East West Region leadership, the CIO, and the Chief Executive Officer.
