Technology Strategy and Delivery Lead

X by 2 is a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare and insurance. For over 25 years, we've helped companies across the US with system modernization, data and analytics, and more recently Applied AI. We deliver from strategy through implementation with an architecture-first approach, and we're agile, collaborative, and committed to being a catalyst for our clients' growth.

Our Technology Strategy & Delivery Leads, known internally as Project Quarterbacks, do far more than manage projects. They call the plays, drive the team, and deliver the win. Quarterbacks are hands‑on leaders and experienced technologists who thrive in the space between vision and execution. They take true accountability for outcomes, roll up their sleeves, and earn trust by leading from the front.
