Position Overview
Humana is seeking experienced Lead IT Project Managers / Program Managers to support its Enterprise AI organization. These professionals will work directly with AI leadership and cross-functional teams to drive the planning, governance, execution, and delivery of enterprise AI initiatives.

The role will help Enterprise AI leadership prioritize initiatives, improve planning and execution, manage dependencies, address delivery risks, and ensure AI product initiatives progress efficiently from planning through implementation.

Ideal Candidate Profile
