Summary

Elevance Health is building a modern enterprise execution engine that translates strategy into measurable outcomes faster, more predictably, and with disciplined risk management. This role leads the Strategic Portfolio Office (SPO) and the broader enterprise technology execution capability as a transformation operator: establishing the operating model, portfolio discipline, execution governance, and leadership cadence required to scale AI, automation, data, platform, and enterprise technology initiatives without adding bureaucracy.

In a matrixed environment where delivery is distributed across business and technology teams, this leader creates enterprise-level visibility, decision cadence, executive communication, and accountability so investments translate into outcomes and leaders can make faster tradeoffs with confidence.

This is not a traditional PMO role. It is a modern execution leadership role requiring:

• strong technical fluency
• AI and platform execution credibility
• high-level investment and portfolio discipline
• exceptional executive communication
• the ability to build CEO-, CIO-, and Board-ready materials that translate complex delivery realities into clear business decisions.
