## Description

You will own the engineering model and technical delivery required to integrate, modernize, and re-implement capability across the broader Express Scripts technology ecosystem so that it operates with New PBM Platform.

The PBS Engineering Managing Director will establish and lead the PBS Engineering organization, overseeing delivery, integrated planning, integration and end-to-end testing, migration, cutover and contingency, and technical support for business operations.

**Core Responsibilities Include**

**Engineering Strategy & Executive Alignment**

- Develop and drive the three- to five-year engineering strategy, roadmap, governance model, and delivery approach for New PBM Platform integration, modernization, and client re-implementation.

- Translate enterprise and executive priorities into clear outcomes, sequencing, investment needs, engineering and organizational capabilities, and execution plans across the PBS engineering organization.

- Advise executive leadership on strategic direction, major delivery and technical decisions, organizational alignment, risk tradeoffs, and readiness for client migration waves.

**Engineering Model, Intake & Technical Operations**

- Define and own the engineering model for the organization, covering code and repository strategy, branching, environments, pipelines, automation, test approach, change control, and release governance across the existing estate.

- Collaborate to establish the path by which work from the Orchestration Hub and the capability build arm reaches a organization including how scope is received, estimated, scheduled, built, tested, and released.

**Integrated Delivery & Modernization**

- Own the integrated execution of federated workstreams that modernize retained ESI capabilities and build the integrations required for those systems to operate with New PBM Platform.

- Establish clear delivery commitments, milestones, dependency management, escalation paths, and performance measures across technology teams that retain their functional reporting lines.

**Client Re-implementation, Migration & Cutover**

- Lead the technical model for transitioning clients from the legacy environment to New PBM Platform through sequenced implementation waves and a single integrated plan.

- Oversee configuration, data conversion and reconciliation, migration tooling, integration and end-to-end testing, cutover planning, contingency procedures, go/no-go readiness, command-center execution, and post-launch stabilization.

**Technology Performance, Risk & Operations**

- Establish standards, governance, scorecards, and executive reporting for delivery health, capacity, dependencies, readiness, quality, risk, issues, and operational performance.

- Drive resolution of complex technical incidents and delivery barriers, using data to shape recommendations, escalation decisions, and corrective action.

**Organization & Talent Leadership**

- Build and lead a scalable engineering organization spanning delivery, integrated planning, integration and end-to-end testing, migration, cutover and contingency, and business operations technical support.

- Recruit, develop, and retain high-caliber engineering talent; establish a strong leadership bench and adaptable capacity model aligned to the client-wave roadmap.

**Critical Leadership Competencies**

- Drives Vision and Purpose: Translates executive strategy into a compelling long-term direction for New PBM Platform integration, modernization, and client transition.

- Strategic Mindset: Anticipates future needs, connects enterprise priorities, and builds a practical multi-year path from current state to target state.

- Delivers Results: Creates accountability across complex, federated work and drives measurable outcomes under demanding timelines.

**Critical Technology Competencies**

- Demonstrated leadership of large-scale engineering organizations across technology transformation, platform implementation, modernization, systems integration, and enterprise migration programs.

- Deep understanding of complex application ecosystems, integration patterns, data conversion, testing, release management, production readiness, and operational support.

- Command of modern engineering practice, including source control and branching strategy, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, environment and test data management, observability, and change and release control.

**Qualifications**

- Bachelor's degree or equivalent related experience required; advanced degree preferred.

- 15+ years of progressively responsible experience in technology, engineering, platform delivery, technology strategy, or large-scale transformation, including significant managerial experience.
