PBS Engineering Managing Director

The PBS Engineering Managing Director, will own the engineering model and technical delivery required to integrate, modernize, and re-implement capability across the broader Express Scripts technology ecosystem so that it operates with New PBM Platform. The role is the senior technical owner for the systems, engineering practices, and client-transition activities that surround New PBM Platform, translating program direction into an engineering strategy, a multi-year roadmap, and a coordinated delivery model. Working across federated technology, product, operations, account management, and business teams, this leader will ensure existing systems are modernized and integrated with New PBM Platform, that work arriving from the Orchestration Hub and the capability build arm can be built, tested, and released by PBS teams, that client waves meet defined readiness criteria, and that services continue without disruption for clients that remain on the legacy platform. The PBS Engineering Managing Director will establish and lead the PBS Engineering organization, overseeing delivery, integrated planning, integration and end-to-end testing, migration, cutover and contingency, and technical support for business operations. The leader will set the engineering model for the organization, covering code and repository strategy, environments, pipelines, test approach, and release governance across the existing systems, and will partner closely with New PBM Platform platform, product engineering, the Orchestration Hub, and existing PBM technology leaders to align platform growth with enterprise integration and migration requirements, resolve highly complex technical issues with limited precedent, and provide clear, decision-ready recommendations to executive leadership.

Include Engineering Strategy & Executive Alignment ·   Develop and drive the three- to five-year engineering strategy, roadmap, governance model, and delivery approach for New PBM Platform integration, modernization, and client re-implementation. ·   Translate enterprise and executive priorities into clear outcomes, sequencing, investment needs, engineering and organizational capabilities, and execution plans across the PBS engineering organization. ·   Advise executive leadership on strategic direction, major delivery and technical decisions, organizational alignment, risk tradeoffs, and readiness for client migration waves. ·   Synthesize complex technical, operational, financial, and client information into compelling narratives and presentation-ready materials that enable timely decisions and organizational commitment. ·   Represent the organization in senior leadership forums and serve as a primary interface with senior business, technology, and external partner leaders. Engineering Model, Intake & Technical Operations ·   Define and own the engineering model for the organization, covering code and repository strategy, branching, environments, pipelines, automation, test approach, change control, and release governance across the existing estate. ·   Collaborate to establish the path by which work from the Orchestration Hub and the capability build arm reaches a organization including how scope is received, estimated, scheduled, built, tested, and released. ·   Raise engineering quality and throughput across teams that build today under different models, standards, and tooling, bringing them to a consistent bar without destabilizing in-flight commitments. ·   Own the technical definition of done for organization’s engineering work, including code quality, test coverage, non-functional thresholds, and production readiness. ·   Apply AI-assisted engineering and automation where they measurably improve speed, quality, and repeatability across integration, conversion, testing, and regression work. Integrated Delivery & Modernization ·   Own the integrated execution of federated workstreams that modernize retained ESI
