About the Role
The Senior Director, Enterprise Architecture – PBM Modernization & Transformation is a senior technology executive responsible for defining and executing the architectural vision, modernization strategy, and target-state technology roadmap for the Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) organization. This leader will spearhead the transformation of the PBM technology ecosystem, evolving legacy, monolithic platforms and point-to-point integrations into a modern, scalable, domain-driven architecture that enhances business agility, operational efficiency, and innovation. The role provides strategic leadership across application modernization, platform rationalization, cloud adoption, integration modernization, data enablement, engineering transformation, and AI-driven innovation initiatives. Partnering closely with executive leaders across business, product, operations, engineering, and technology, the Senior Director will establish the architectural foundation required to simplify the PBM landscape, reduce technical debt, improve speed-to-market, and enable the next generation of digital healthcare capabilities. AI will serve as a critical accelerator in this transformation journey. This leader will champion the adoption of AI-enabled software development practices to improve engineering productivity, code quality, and delivery velocity while driving the integration of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and intelligent automation into core business processes. These capabilities will improve operational efficiency, enhance decision-making, and elevate client, pharmacy, provider, and member experiences. The Senior Director will lead a team of enterprise architects, establish architecture governance and technology standards, and oversee technology strategy across critical PBM domains, including claims processing, benefit administration, pricing, rebates, formulary management, clinical programs, pharmacy networks, and digital experience platforms. This role offers a unique opportunity to lead one of the organization's most significant modernization and transformation efforts while shaping the future of PBM technology, digital healthcare innovation, and AI-driven business capabilities.
