    • Within the first 90 days, this leader will be expected to evaluate one of the business’s most important technology decisions: Continue, redirect, or replace the current core practice management ecosystem.

    We are specifically looking for a commercially astute technology executive who:

    • Thinks clearly under ambiguity
    • Understands franchise and distributed operating environments
    • Can challenge sunk-cost thinking with credibility and evidence
    • Has personally embedded AI-native ways of working into technology delivery
