At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger - helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time. The Executive Director, Enterprise Data Platform Product & Operations provides strategic leadership for the product management, product operations, agile practices, and organizational execution of CVS Health’s Enterprise Data Platform (EDP), and for the product function that builds the technical components supporting enterprise data and AI governance operations and compliance. The role partners closely with engineering, architecture, data governance, analytics, AI, and business leaders to translate enterprise data strategy into scalable platform capabilities and experiences, designed for the full range of platform users, from report and dashboard consumers to highly technical engineers and data scientists. The role combines enterprise product leadership, product operations leadership, portfolio and roadmap management, agile practice leadership, organizational transformation, and people leadership to improve the experience and effectiveness of the enterprise data platform. Success in this role requires a mindset for how to productize a platform: treating shared components, and tooling as products with defined users, intentional user experience, clear value propositions, service expectations, and lifecycle management. The platform serves very different personas, and the role must ensure each persona has an experience built for how they work. In parallel, the role leads the product function for data and AI governance, building the technical components that enable governance operations and compliance to run at enterprise scale.

• Proven ability to influence and align senior executives and cross-functional leaders without relying solely on direct organizational authority.
• Experience translating complex technical capabilities into customer, business, and executive-level outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and lead through significant organizational and technological change.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with enterprise data platforms, cloud platforms, data engineering, analytics, governance, or AI/ML ecosystems.
• Experience leading product development for governance, risk, or compliance technology, such as data catalog and metadata, data quality, lineage, access control, or AI model risk and oversight tooling.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform and modern cloud data architectures.
