Hybrid
X by 2 is a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare and insurance. For over 25 years, we've helped companies across the US with system modernization, data and analytics, and more recently Applied AI. We deliver from strategy through implementation with an architecture-first approach, and we're agile, collaborative, and committed to being a catalyst for our clients' growth.
Our Technology Strategy & Delivery Leads, known internally as Project Quarterbacks, do far more than manage projects. They call the plays, drive the team, and deliver the win. Quarterbacks are hands-on leaders and experienced technologists who thrive in the space between vision and execution. They take true accountability for outcomes, roll up their sleeves, and earn trust by leading from the front.
Our Quarterbacks start as technologists and grow into leaders. There's no single playbook. We encourage every teammate to chart a path that fits their strengths and passion.

Partner with technical and experience architects to build a strategic roadmap
Present and socialize recommendations to client stakeholders

Deliver the Win — Drive projects to successful completion:
Manage budget, scope, resources, stakeholder communication, and day-to-day execution
Ensure solutions launch on time, on budget, and deliver the promised business impact
Earn the Next Game — Build credibility that wins future engagements:
Identify repeat business opportunities while working on client engagements
Strategy projects typically run 2 to 3 months. Implementation projects run 6 months to a year, with some large programs extending multiple years. Solution implementations span domains including application, integration, data, and AI.
