AVP, Enterprise Transformation & Integration

Overview: Inovalon is a leading cloud-based data and analytics platform serving the healthcare industry. As the company continues to scale, including through M&A activity and enterprise-wide transformation, this role has been created to build and lead the function that connects strategy to execution. The AVP, Enterprise Transformation and Integration will own program delivery and integration leadership for the highest-stakes initiatives across the enterprise - including M&A integration, cost optimization, and large-scale business transformation. This role launches as an individual contributor, with 1-2 direct reports expected to be added as the function matures.

This is not a PMO governance role. It is an enterprise execution role for a leader who can personally drive complex, high-stakes programs - from large-scale organizational transformation through to post-merger integration across Day 1, stabilization, and value capture. The right candidate has operated in ambiguous, high-velocity environments - whether in management consulting, corporate development, or an in-house transformation function - and has the executive presence to partner credibly with the C-suite while the organization is under pressure.

Duties and Responsibilities:

M&A Integration & Pre-Close Readiness

• Own the end-to-end M&A integration lifecycle: pre-close readiness assessments, Day 1 operating playbook design, cross-functional workstream governance, and post-close performance tracking through value capture

• Serve as program director on the highest-complexity, highest-visibility initiatives; provide direct program leadership and hands-on delivery accountability, not just oversight or governance
• Build and maintain the program delivery infrastructure: intake and prioritization frameworks, cross-functional workstream governance, dependency management, and risk escalation cadences
• Develop executive-ready program reporting for CEO and Board audiences: initiative status, interdependencies, risk posture, and progress against milestones

Executive Advisory & Strategic Thought Partnership

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the SVP, Head of Business Performance and other senior executives on transformation strategy, resource prioritization, and enterprise initiative sequencing
• Prepare strategic program updates for the Board and C-suite; own the narrative, not just the slides
• Represent the transformation function in M&A diligence processes assess target operational readiness, identify integration risks, and model integration costs and synergies for deal teams
• Contribute to the annual strategic planning process: program portfolio construction, initiative ROI modelling, and resource allocation recommendations

Other Responsibilities

• People leadership experience: has hired, developed, and managed a team of program managers or analysts
• Exposure to private equity-backed or high-growth transformation environments where speed, rigor, and resource discipline are simultaneously required
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree from a top-tier program strongly preferred
