• Define and own the multi-year interoperability vision, strategy, roadmap, and measurable objectives, connecting data exchange capabilities to clinical quality, operational efficiency, and data reliability.
• Lead interoperability compliance efforts across an evolving regulatory landscape, including CMS interoperability and prior authorization requirements, while preparing the organization for future regulatory developments.
• Build, lead, and scale multidisciplinary data exchange operations, including clinical data acquisition, integration operations, and telephony.
• Create alignment across Clinical, Operations, Engineering, Data, Legal, Compliance, and other stakeholder groups, resolving systemic barriers that limit effective data exchange.

• Establish strategic priorities and drive execution from roadmap development through measurable operational and business outcomes.
• Own budgeting and financial planning for the interoperability function and use data-driven analysis to guide investments and priorities.

• Deep expertise in healthcare interoperability, including FHIR, HL7, C-CDA, health information exchange, EHR connectivity, and the integration of clinical, claims, and pharmacy data.
• Proven experience delivering major regulatory and compliance initiatives, ideally involving FHIR/API-based healthcare interoperability programs and CMS interoperability requirements.
• Strong understanding of the regulatory environment, including CMS interoperability rules, ASTP/ONC, TEFCA, and information-blocking requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to align diverse stakeholder groups around a common strategy, synthesize competing priorities, communicate decisions clearly, and drive organizational execution.
• Experience negotiating and managing multi-million-dollar vendor relationships, evaluating vendor ecosystems, and developing commercially and operationally sound partnership strategies.
• Experience representing an organization externally with healthcare providers, regulators, industry groups, or other influential partners.
• Track record of creating and executing multi-year strategic roadmaps while maintaining sufficient attention to operational details and measurable results.
