- •Job explicitly requires driving adoption of AI/ML, automation, and advanced analytics and transforming the team into an AI-enabled analytics organization.
- •Role expects hands-on delivery experience in data engineering, analytics development and AI/ML solution delivery, plus familiarity with cloud analytics platforms (BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake).
- •Responsibilities emphasize workflow integration: building scalable data infrastructure, partnering with enterprise data teams, and implementing automation to generate measurable business value.
This is a well-signaled, senior manager role at a large, stable healthcare company with clear compensation, benefits, and a defined leadership remit. The job strongly addresses foundational needs (pay, benefits, employment stability) and provides meaningful opportunities for esteem and impactful work (leading transformation, AI/ML adoption, managing budgets and vendors). Team and belonging signals exist (coaching, collaboration, inclusive hiring) but lack operational detail (team size, rituals, onboarding). Self-actualization opportunities are present through challenging, modern technical work, but explicit development structures (budget, career ladders) are not detailed.
- •On-site requirement (Remote Type: on-site) — the posting requires on-site presence which may limit flexibility for candidates expecting hybrid/remote options; no clarification on flexibility or travel expectations is provided.
- •Ambiguous day-to-day and organizational details — the posting lacks specifics on team size, direct reports, reporting line, and concrete first-6-month priorities or success metrics, making it hard for candidates to assess scope and immediate expectations.
- •Potential work intensity during transformation — language such as 'fast-paced environment' and 'lead the transformation' combined with hands-on leadership and operational responsibilities (planning, budgeting, vendors, performance metrics) may imply heavy workload or long hours; explicit boundaries or work-life practices are not described.
- •Clear salary band ($105,100 - $157,605) and bonus eligibility.
- •Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, HSA, 401k, PTO, parental leave).
- •Established employer (50+ years) and enterprise-scale programs (Data City Plan, enterprise governance).
- •Can you describe the current team structure (number of direct reports, roles, and where this team sits in the org chart) and who this position reports to?
- •What are the top three measurable objectives for this role in the first 6–12 months, and how will success be evaluated?
- •Is there flexibility in the on-site requirement (hybrid options, expected in-office cadence), and what are the typical working hours or expectations during peak program phases?
