Description du poste

ForHealth Consulting seeks a strategic, collaborative, and transformational executive to serve as its next Deputy Chief Information Officer (DCIO). This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of technology, digital transformation, and innovation for the healthcare consulting and clinical operations division of UMass Chan Medical School, leveraging technology, data, and emerging capabilities to improve outcomes for healthcare, public health, and human services organizations serving vulnerable populations across the country.

ForHealth Consulting is a nationally recognized healthcare consulting and operational services organization within UMass Chan Medical School. Through its work with government agencies, healthcare organizations, and human services programs, ForHealth helps improve access, quality, efficiency, and outcomes for some of the nation’s most vulnerable populations. The organization delivers a broad portfolio of consulting, operational, clinical, and technology-enabled services that support public health, Medicaid, behavioral health, care management, and healthcare delivery programs. As ForHealth continues to evolve its technology capabilities and expand its impact, the Deputy Chief Information Officer will play a critical leadership role in advancing the organization’s digital vision and technology strategy.

A key priority for the DCIO will be leading the modernization of a complex technology environment that includes approximately 75 custom-developed applications supporting diverse client and operational needs. The DCIO will establish and strengthen governance processes, align technology investments with organizational priorities, and advance the transition from siloed, monolithic applications to a scalable and flexible composable architecture. This executive will also play a critical role in redesigning how technology initiatives are prioritized, organized, and delivered across the enterprise, bringing greater consistency, accountability, and agility to technology execution.

The successful candidate will be an accomplished technology executive with a demonstrated track record of leading enterprise transformation, digital modernization, and organizational change within complex healthcare, public sector, consulting, or mission-driven environments. The ideal candidate will bring both strategic vision and operational excellence and will be recognized as a trusted partner who is collaborative, accountable, and focused on delivering results. This leader will possess exceptional communication skills, the ability to translate technology opportunities into business value, and the leadership capabilities necessary to build high‑performing teams and strong stakeholder relationships across a diverse and matrixed organization. Experience supporting client‑facing initiatives, business development activities, and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, analytics, and digital innovation, will be highly valued.

This role does not require relocation to Worcester, Massachusetts; however, the selected candidate must reside within a reasonable commuting distance and be available for regular in‑person meetings, events, and leadership activities.

The base compensation range for this role is $250,000-$300,000 annually. Individual compensation will be determined by the selected candidate's qualifications, previous work experience, and/or education. Please note that the pay range does not include any applicable incentive compensation programs.
