In this role you'll partner closely with business, technology, and delivery teams to ensure the Connected PBM Ecosystem (CPE) program is aligned to enterprise business capabilities, value streams, and outcomes not just point solutions.
You will operate as a strategic integrator, providing clarity on scope, dependencies, sequencing, and value realization. While primarily focused on supporting CPE delivery, you'll also contribute to the evolving Business Architecture discipline by applying standards, templates, and reusable assets.

2. Cross‑Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Business, Solution Architecture, Process Engineering, UX, Data, and Change teams to align strategy, design, and execution.
- Serve as a connective role between business stakeholders and delivery teams to ensure shared understanding of intent and outcomes.
- Facilitate alignment discussions to resolve scope conflicts, overlaps, or dependency risks across programs.
- Provide architecture‑based insights to governance, planning, and decision forums as needed.
3. Architecture Standards & Reuse
- Define and apply established Business Architecture standards, methods, and templates.
- Contribute to the Business Architecture knowledge base by:
- Updating capability and value stream inventories.
