Vice President, Health IT Strategy & Transformation; Remote

This is an outstanding opportunity to shape strategic direction and mission outcomes for programs that directly affect Veterans and their beneficiaries. You will work collaboratively with VA account senior leadership, delivery team members, subject matter experts, clients, vendors, and teaming partners - serving as a strategic advisor, enterprise transformation lead, and ambassador for GovCIO's advisory and technology offerings at the C-level.

Strategic Advisory & Enterprise Transformation Leadership

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior federal health IT executives, translating clinical and mission needs into actionable, enterprise-wide modernization and delivery strategy.
• Lead enterprise-level transformation efforts - aligning operating model, governance, workforce, and technology change across the full breadth of the account.

Delivery & Operations Leadership

• Lead a team of seasoned program and client delivery professionals supporting GovCIO's VA account, spanning IT service management, business-process optimization, digital services, cybersecurity, infrastructure/cloud, and production support.
