Vice President, Information Services and Technology

Affinity Health Plan, an independent, growing, not-for-profit managed care
company designed specifically to serve the needs of low-income New Yorkers,
seeks a Vice President, Information Services and Technology. As a member of
the Executive Staff, you will share responsibility for, and contribute to
policy formulation, strategic direction, priority-setting, decision making,
achievement of corporate goals, and overall leadership of the organization.
You will support business objectives by developing technology solutions with
defined ROI's, and metrics that genuinely measure progress toward their
implementation. In addition, you will support ongoing business operations by
assuring that the company's strategic and business information needs are
effectively and efficiently supported by voice, data and information
technology.

Technology leadership is an integral part of Affinity's ongoing success. You
will help to ensure this by:
· incorporating a comprehensive understanding of the organization' s
strategic vision, and core business, governing and enabling processes into
technology initiatives;
· developing an information technology strategic plan that is aligned
with…and appropriate to…the scope, scale and priorities of the organization'
s strategic vision;
· working with business "owners" to define and articulate the
information and data processing capabilities needed for strategic and
business planning, execution and performance measurement;
· contributing to sound decisions on the selection of tools,
technologies and vendors;
· assuring a customer service work ethic within the Division of
Information Services and Technology, holding staff accountable for
fulfilling service level agreements and expectations;
· promoting effective interdepartmental and interdivisional planning,
analysis, and functioning;
· assuring cost-beneficial investments in organizational tools and
technologies, including the cost and value of staff, consultants and
temporary personnel; and
· increasing management and leadership depth by mentoring and
developing staff.

When used properly, information can support growth and position a company
ahead of the competition. To help accomplish these objectives, you will
effectively and efficiently direct the planning, development, and effective
management of:
· a data warehouse to serve the organization' s information needs;
· software applications that satisfy the organization' s information
and processing needs, and interface effectively with external organizations;
· data and voice processing systems, office automation applications
and new technologies that elevate the company's operating capabilities;
· reporting systems and tools that fulfill the organization' s
business and analytical needs; and
· hardware solutions that provide an appropriate platform for the
organization' s information and processing needs.

Additionally, you will develop, implement and maintain written policies and
procedures within the Division that maximize productivity, fulfill quality
and documentation standards, and comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. Other responsibilities include timely preparation of operating
and capital budgets, optimal use of resources to achieve organizational
goals, and the development and maintenance of constructive, mutually
beneficial relationships that promote the Affinity goal of being the "health
plan of choice" for providers, consumers and purchasers.

To be considered for this position, you must have a minimum of a BA/BS
degree with at least fifteen (15) years of relevant professional experience
in organizations of comparable, or greater, size and complexity. A Masters
degree with at least twelve (12) years of relevant experience is preferred.
Your relevant professional experience shall include a minimum of ten (10)
years in business leadership positions, including demonstrated ability to
work with others in defining and articulating information and analytical
needs, and aligning such needs with appropriate technology solutions.
Knowledge of managed care organizations, processes and operations, including
the interconnectivity of diverse and complex functions, and the role of
information and technology in supporting strategic, operational, management
and analytical needs is also required for this position. You must also be
able to use sound judgment and demonstrated skill in seeking and using
information to support decision-making, anticipating the consequences of
decisions and actions, communicating information, interacting constructively
with others both within and outside the organization, maintaining
confidentiality, as appropriate, and choosing actions that are beneficial
to, and consistent with, the mission, goals, culture and style of the
organization. Knowledge and experience with systems used by Affinity
(especially Trizetto Facets) is definitely preferred.
