SCA Health is building the data and AI foundation that will define its competitive position as the leading ambulatory surgery company in the United States. This is a greenfield executive leadership role — a chance to shape strategy, build a team, and establish the governance and technology platforms that will serve SCA's 300+ facilities and 12,000+ associates for the next decade. The VP, Data & AI reports directly to the CIO and is one of eight direct reports on the CIO's leadership team. You will own the enterprise data strategy, platform, and governance function, and will lead SCA's AI and machine learning capability — from foundational MLOps infrastructure through clinical decision support and operational AI at scale. This role sits at the intersection of healthcare's two most consequential technology shifts: the transition to data-driven clinical and operational decision-making, and the responsible deployment of AI in care delivery. You will work in direct partnership with SCA's CMO, CFO, COO, CGO, and clinical leaders — not just the technology organization.
