AVP, Enterprise Transformation & Integration
About the role
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.
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
- Lead pre-integration project work: target operating model design, synergy modeling validation, integration risk assessment, and regulatory/compliance readiness — coordinating with Legal, Finance, HR, IT, and Product
- Serve as the cross-functional integration lead for acquired entities from close through operational stabilization; own integration KPIs, issue escalation, and executive reporting to the C-suite and Board
- Partner with Corporate Development and Finance to translate deal thesis assumptions into integration milestones and synergy realization timelines; hold workstream owners accountable to delivery
Enterprise Transformation & Program Delivery
- Own the enterprise portfolio of strategic transformation programs — typically spanning organizational change, process transformation, technology modernization, and cost reduction
- 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 Transformation and Integration, and other C-suite leaders on transformation strategy, operating model design, and organizational readiness
- Provide objective, data-driven assessments to inform decisions on make-vs-buy, integration approach, and program prioritization
- Drive executive alignment across strategy, Finance, IT, HR, Product, and Operations to ensure enterprise-wide transformation initiatives are resourced and sequenced effectively
