This position is a senior leader in the Technology organization. As such, it requires someone who can bring the experience of leading a major enterprise successfully through such digital transformations as migration to cloud infrastructures, enabling and transitioning to microservices, efficiency and scale through automation and SRE practices, and setting the strategy and vision for modern data management and analytics.

The AVP will be responsible for designing, developing, executing, and setting the strategy for Humana's Cloud infrastructure capability. This leader will provide executive leadership to a team of 80 FTEs and 50 contractors while creating and executing a plan to scale the team efficiently to support Humana's growth in healthcare services. He/she will also provide thought leadership, strategic vision, modern engineering architecture and development of enterprise wide engineering patterns and standards for Humana technology.
