[Hiring] Senior Vice President of Transformation @Spaulding Ridge

Role Description

Spaulding Ridge is seeking a Senior Vice President of Transformation to lead Enterprise Transformation & Technology and modernize the internal enterprise through technology, data, cybersecurity, process transformation and sustained adoption. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the SVP of Transformation will turn strategic priorities into measurable, lasting improvements in how the firm operates, combining a focused, high-impact internal transformation capability with accountability for a secure, reliable and effective enterprise technology environment.

This executive will partner with executive and functional leaders to:

• Prioritize enterprise needs
• Simplify processes
• Redesign operating models
• Enable data-informed decisions and AI-powered workflows

The mandate extends beyond implementing systems: the SVP of Transformation will connect technology and process improvements with the change leadership required for sustained adoption and business ownership. This permanent C-suite role will make Spaulding Ridge easier to work in, easier to work with and more capable—not build a traditional PMO, a technology purchasing function or an oversized transformation organization.

The ideal candidate combines executive experience delivering complex, cross-functional transformation with strategy-consulting rigor, hands-on implementation and strong technology fluency. Success requires:

• A builder’s mindset
• The ability to earn trust and challenge constructively
• A commitment to simplicity, evidence and lasting business ownership

Performance will be measured by:

• Realized and sustained business value
• Improvements in cycle time, quality and productivity
• Reduced employee and client friction
• Sustained adoption
• Enterprise technology reliability and security
• Greater value from existing systems
• Functional independence after handoff

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive leadership experience leading enterprise transformation, technology strategy, business process optimization, and organizational change initiatives, including at least 5 years in a senior executive leadership role.
• Demonstrated success modernizing internal enterprise operations through integrated technology, data and process transformation, with measurable business outcomes and sustained adoption.
• A blend of strategy-consulting rigor, operational pragmatism, technology fluency and hands-on change leadership.
• Strong understanding of enterprise IT, cybersecurity, data governance, applications and architecture, with sound judgment in technology investment decisions.
• A track record redesigning processes and operating models—not simply implementing systems or managing programs.
• Experience building business cases, measuring adoption and benefits, and transferring ownership to operating leaders.
• The ability to earn trust quickly, challenge senior peers constructively and work effectively with frontline employees.
• A bias toward implementation, simplicity and evidence, with the judgment to distinguish real transformation from activity.

Requirements

• Build and lead a focused internal consulting capability that diagnoses enterprise challenges, challenges assumptions, redesigns processes, implements practical solutions and transfers lasting ownership to the business.
• Apply the discipline Eliminate → Simplify → Standardize → Automate → Agentify to remove unnecessary work and redesign poor processes before adding technology.
• Lead Enterprise Technology across infrastructure, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, architecture, IT operations, access and vendor management, ensuring a secure, reliable technology environment and measurable value from technology investments.
• Partner with functional leaders to strengthen enterprise data quality, governance and accessibility, enabling trusted reporting, better decisions and effective technology-enabled workflows.
• Enable enterprise knowledge management by making institutional knowledge easy to capture, find, trust and reuse across functions, creating a foundation for better decisions, consistent ways of working and AI-powered workflows.
• Partner with the CXiO to translate AI and intelligent capabilities into practical, redesigned workflows, improving the employee experience and embedding the technical readiness and behavior change needed for sustained adoption.
• Establish clear baselines, target outcomes, adoption measures and accountability; partner with the Chief Financial Officer to validate business cases and economic benefits, and with functional leaders to sustain results.
• Maximize value from existing technology platforms before adding more, reducing unnecessary complexity and improving the employee and client experience.
• Collaborate with the COO on delivery and client operating-model redesign and with the Chief Commercial Officer on resolving commercial-system friction.
• Co-own implementation and adoption with functional leaders, embedding new ways of working before transferring ownership so the business can operate independently and sustain value after handoff.

Benefits

• Generous time off
• Paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
• 401(k) with company match
• Subsidized health, dental, and vision plans
• Company-paid life and disability insurance
• Monthly allowance for well-being and technology expenses
• Reimbursement for approved learning and development initiatives within defined limits
