AVP, Engineering (Apps & Solutions)
About the role
Position Summary
League is seeking an AVP, Engineering to join the Apps & Solutions engineering organization — a leader who brings deep technical credibility, strong delivery instincts, and the people leadership skills to build and sustain high-performing teams. Reporting directly to the VP, Engineering (Apps & Solutions), this role is the connective tissue between technical execution and enterprise delivery: you own the architecture and quality of member-facing applications, drive implementation excellence across your squads, and show up as a trusted engineering partner to League's most strategic clients.
This is not a platform role. You will be building and leading teams that deliver directly to end members; consumer health experiences that are fast, reliable, personalized, and clinically meaningful. You bring hands-on architectural judgment, a genuine bias for delivery, and the ability to represent engineering with conviction in executive and client-facing settings.
AI fluency is a core expectation of this role, not a bonus. You lead by example; integrating AI into your own engineering workflow, driving adoption across your teams, and building the culture and practices that make AI-native delivery a daily operational reality.
Why This Role, Why Now?
League is at an inflection point — executing a delivery transformation while scaling our most strategic enterprise accounts. This AVP role is a critical hire: you'll own the engineering execution that makes our delivery commitments real.
In this role you will:
Team Scope
- Direct reports: 3–5 Engineering Managers. Indirect reports: 25–35 engineers across web, mobile, and integration squads.
Technical & Architectural Leadership
- Own the technical direction for member-facing applications — define and enforce architectural standards, patterns, and guardrails across your squads; make trade-off calls with speed, quality, and scalability in mind
- Drive architectural reviews and decisions — lead design reviews for major features and platform integrations; ensure technical choices align with League’s roadmap, client commitments, and long-term platform health
- Maintain hands-on technical credibility — engage directly with engineers on architecture, code quality, and system design; you don’t need to be in the code daily, but you must be credible when you are
Implementation & Project Delivery
- Own end-to-end delivery accountability for your squads — from project scoping and estimation through to production release and post-launch stability; delivery commitments you make are commitments you keep
- Drive delivery predictability — implement the planning, tracking, and escalation practices that give the VP and CDO clear, real-time visibility into delivery health across your portfolio
- Build and maintain delivery metrics — track PR throughput, defect rates, test automation coverage, and incident resolution SLAs; use data to drive continuous improvement, not just reporting
