Job Description

 OVERVIEW

Releady is partnering with a healthcare technology client that builds and runs the technology platforms for one of the largest nonprofit health plans in the United States, to hire a Senior Manager to lead the delivery of its commercial and growth programs. This leader will own a dedicated pillar within an enterprise Complex Programs & Mandates organization, which runs the initiatives that are too complex, too cross-platform, or too high-stakes for any single platform team to own alone.

The role leads a team of Technical Delivery Leads, runs governance directly with health plan and technology executives, and ensures that every program in the portfolio is chartered, sequenced, and delivered with predictable, decision-ready reporting.
