The Lead Director
- Cloud and Platform Engineering is responsible for shaping and executing the multi-cloud platform engineering strategy for Health
100 and PCW across Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure. Drawing on a foundation of hands‑on engineering experience, this leader sets the technical direction and multi‑year roadmap for cloud platforms while building the organization, engineering practices, and operating model required to deliver at enterprise scale.

The role provides leadership across cloud architecture, platform engineering, automation, and production readiness, ensuring strategy translates into engineered capabilities that are scalable, resilient, secure, observable, and cost effective. This leader will navigate complex technical and business trade‑offs, set engineering priorities, and drive modernization while maintaining accountability for execution and measurable outcomes.

Success requires strong partnerships across Platform Engineering, Dev Ops/Operations, Production SRE, Network, Cybersecurity, Identity, Data, Enterprise Architecture, and Application Engineering. The leader will develop technical talent, establish clear ownership and engineering standards, and influence senior technology leaders on cloud strategy, architecture, investment, and modernization priorities.

• Own the multi-cloud platform engineering strategy and roadmap for Health
  100 and PCW across GCP, AWS, and Azure.
• Translate business priorities, application demand, resiliency requirements, and enterprise standards into sequenced engineering initiatives, balancing near-term delivery with platform modernization, technical debt reduction, and capability development.
• Establish measurable outcomes and provide executive-level visibility into roadmap progress, platform adoption, reliability, delivery predictability, automation, cost efficiency, risks, trade-offs, and investment requirements.

• Lead the architecture, engineering, implementation, and lifecycle management of enterprise cloud platforms across GCP, AWS, and Azure.
• Drive engineering of cloud foundations, networking, identity, security, Kubernetes, data services, shared services, and observability, using reusable reference architectures and engineering patterns to accelerate application onboarding.
• Ensure architecture incorporates availability, multi-region resiliency, disaster recovery, scalability, performance, maintainability, security, and cost requirements from the outset.
• Lead technical design and engineering reviews through production readiness, determining where cloud-native services or enterprise technologies such as Palo Alto Networks, F5, and Infoblox best meet business and technical requirements.

• Convert architecture and roadmap priorities into executable delivery plans and drive delivery across internal engineering teams, cloud providers, and strategic partners, actively managing dependencies, blockers, and technical risk.
• Ensure engineering produces deployable infrastructure, tested automation, documentation, support models, and measurable service outcomes, not architecture artifacts alone.
