About Care Advantage:
Care Advantage is a leading home health organization recognized for delivering high-quality, compassionate care to the communities we serve.

As part of our continued growth, we are undergoing a full-scale digital transformation, investing heavily in modern data infrastructure and artificial intelligence to drive better patient outcomes, operational efficiency, financial performance, and workforce empowerment.

This is not a maintenance role — this is a build, transform, and lead mandate. The Director of AI & Data will serve as the enterprise owner of our AI and data ecosystem, responsible for:

• Setting strategy and governance
• Driving execution and adoption
• Delivering measurable business outcomes

You will partner directly with executive leadership and act as a force multiplier across the organization, transforming raw data into actionable insights and AI-powered capabilities. This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in high-ownership, high-visibility environments where they can shape the future — not just operate within it.

• Own and administer the organization's AI productivity stack (LLMs, automation tools, copilots)
• Identify, prioritize, and deploy high-impact AI use cases (clinical, financial, HR, operations)
• Develop governance frameworks for responsible AI usage, data privacy, and HIPAA compliance
• Lead pilot-to-production lifecycle for emerging technologies
• Partner with business leaders to define success metrics and adoption KPIs

You will fully own the enterprise data platform, ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and aligned to business needs.

• Cloud data warehouse ownership (architecture, performance, cost optimization)
• ETL/ELT pipeline orchestration, monitoring, and expansion
• Data modeling, transformation, and integration across systems
• Data lifecycle management and technical documentation

• Near real-time access to trusted data
• Reduced data latency and improved data accuracy
• Scalable architecture supporting growth and acquisitions

You will lead the transformation from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven decisioning.

• Own enterprise BI tools, dashboards, and reporting standards
• Deliver critical reporting for Finance & Revenue Cycle, Operations, and Value-Based Care programs

• 7–10+ years in data engineering, analytics, or BI leadership roles
• 3+ years in formal people leadership roles
• Proven experience owning cloud data platforms (Snowflake strongly preferred)
• ETL/ELT orchestration tools (Matillion, ADF, Fivetran, or similar)
• BI platforms (Tableau, Power BI, Looker)
• Experience delivering end-to-end data or AI initiatives with measurable impact

• Experience implementing AI tools or LLM-based solutions at scale
• Healthcare, home health, or regulated data environment experience
• Knowledge of revenue cycle data, value-based care reporting, and multi-system data ecosystems

Master's degree in Data Science, Analytics, Computer Science, or related field.

• AI adoption rates and business impact
• Data platform uptime, performance, and cost efficiency
• Reduction in manual reporting processes
• Data quality and governance compliance
• Stakeholder satisfaction and adoption of analytics tools

ICARE Values:
Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Excellence. Leaders are expected to embody these principles daily and foster ownership, collaboration, and innovation across the organization.
