Come help shape the future of Humana's enterprise data landscape.

We are building a modern, trusted, and empowering Data & Analytics (D&A) ecosystem! We need a Strategy Execution & Advancement Lead who can bring strategic clarity, compelling communication, and cross enterprise alignment to this journey. You will focus on advancing enterprise data governance strategy by designing and executing programmatic communication frameworks, ensuring leaders, stakeholders, and contributors across the business understand, support, and activate Humana's vision for data governance and associated modernization. You will sit at the intersection of organizational change management, enterprise strategy, data strategy, and technology transformation. We're looking for the ideal go-getter who can simplify complexity, instill excitement, cultivate alignment, and help drive meaningful progress across a large, matrixed environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a strategic partner to program and product leaders, ensuring communications reinforce program goals and drive transparency, alignment, and adoption.

Strategy Execution & Enterprise Alignment

• Support execution of the enterprise Data Governance strategy by orchestrating communication touchpoints, stakeholder engagement plans, and structured messaging across business and technology teams.
• Harmonize data governance, D&A modernization, and enterprise strategies—helping leaders understand how efforts fit together and what decisions or behaviors are needed for success.
• Promote strategic awareness across the organization through facilitated sessions, education assets, and communication campaigns designed to grow capability, maturity, and shared ownership.

D& A Ecosystem Modernization Support

• Help steer the strategic direction and change-enablement efforts associated with modernizing Humana's D&A platforms, tools, policies, and practices.
• Craft narratives that articulate modernization goals, value propositions, timelines, and required enterprise participation.

Collaboration & Influence

• Partner with senior leaders, executives, data governance experts, technical teams, and business stakeholders to ensure consistent understanding of strategy and progress.
• Coach peers and cross-functional contributors on communication best practices that support strategic execution.

• Executive Presence & Stakeholder Engagement: Demonstrates polished, credible interaction with senior leaders and consistently produces high-quality presentations, narratives, and strategic artifacts.
