Reporting to the VP, Technology Delivery, the Director is accountable for implementation and operational execution across core services, runtime, data services, shared components, and product capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Translate the New PBM Platform roadmap, architecture, and product priorities into executable engineering plans for the assigned domain.
• Lead design, development, integration, release, and production-readiness activities with clear commitments and measurable outcomes.
• Ensure solutions meet functional, performance, scalability, reliability, recovery, security, privacy, and compliance expectations.
• Prove that delivered capability holds at production volumes, covering load, soak, throughput, latency, and recovery, and produce the supporting evidence before capability is accepted.
• Drive disciplined engineering practices, design reviews, code quality, documentation, and technical decision-making.
• Balance near-term delivery with long-term sustainability, reuse, maintainability, and reduction of technical debt.
• Partner with Product Management and Product Architecture to own the engineering half of the specification, confirming requirements are clear, complete, testable, and buildable before work enters a sprint.
• Partner with Platform Architecture and shared engineering teams to apply common patterns, standards, and reusable services.
• Coordinate dependencies across product domains, platform teams, enterprise integrations, and the teams integrating, modernizing, and re-implementing the existing PBM systems.
• Contribute engineering insight to roadmap decisions, sequencing, capacity planning, and investment tradeoffs.
• Ensure assigned capabilities can operate at required enterprise scale without unnecessary client-specific rebuilding.
• Establish metrics for delivery predictability, throughput, quality, reliability, technical health, and operational performance.
• Partner with Build Quality and Test Architecture leaders to meet the program quality bar and produce required readiness evidence.
• Ensure observability, support models, runbooks, incident response, resilience, and recovery capabilities are built into delivered solutions.
• Lead resolution of critical technical issues, production risks, and cross-team engineering barriers.
• Manage the engineering resources that carry production support for delivered capability, including sustaining and on-call coverage, defect and incident workload, and the balance between support demand and new delivery commitments.
• Drive continuous improvement in automation, developer productivity, release practices, and operational excellence.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing organization of engineers and technical professionals.
• Establish clear roles, accountability, objectives, feedback, and development plans across the team.
• Recruit and retain talent with the technical depth and learning agility required to scale the New PBM Platform.
• Create an inclusive, collaborative, and outcomes-focused engineering culture.
• Manage employees, contractors, vendor resources, capacity, and budget within the assigned function.
• Drives Vision and Purpose: Connects the role’s work to the broader PBM transformation objectives and communicates a clear path forward.
• Delivers Results: Creates accountability, removes barriers, and drives measurable outcomes under demanding timelines.
• Manages Complexity: Synthesizes complex and sometimes conflicting information to establish practical solutions.
• Decision Quality: Makes sound, timely decisions using technical, delivery, risk, and business considerations.
• Collaborates: Builds effective partnerships across engineering, architecture, product, delivery, and business teams.
• Communicates Effectively: Provides clear, concise, and audience-appropriate communications, recommendations, and escalations.
• Manages Ambiguity: Establishes direction and momentum where requirements, solutions, or
