About The Position

Inovalon was founded in 1998 on the belief that technology, and data specifically, would empower the transformation of the entire healthcare ecosystem for the better, improving both outcomes and economics. At Inovalon, we believe that when our customers are successful in their missions, healthcare improves. Therefore, we focus on empowering them with data-driven solutions. And the momentum is building. Together, as ONE Inovalon, we are a united force delivering solutions that address healthcare’s greatest needs. Through our mission-based culture of inclusion and innovation, our organization brings value not just to our customers, but to the millions of patients and members they serve. 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.

Requirements

15+ years of progressive experience in strategy, enterprise program management, M&A integration, management consulting (strategy/operations), or corporate transformation; 5+ years in a senior leadership role with team management responsibility
Demonstrated M&A integration experience: has personally led or co-led at least one end-to-end integration (pre-close through value capture) in a healthcare, SaaS, or technology-enabled services environment
Proven track record of leading enterprise cost optimization programs with quantifiable outcomes — not just governance, but delivery accountability
Executive presence with demonstrated ability to influence, challenge, and present to C-suite and Board-level audiences in high-stakes environments
Experience leading large-scale change management in matrixed, complex organizations where organizational politics and competing priorities are the norm
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
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States as a condition of employment.
