VP, Chief Architect

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Architecture and Technology Strategy

• Define and evolve IMO Health’s enterprise architecture strategy across software, cloud, data, clinical informatics, and AI.
• Establish practical architecture principles and decision frameworks that balance innovation, speed, scalability, reliability, security, and cost.
• Guide significant technology decisions and help Engineering and Product teams make informed architectural tradeoffs.
• Identify emerging technologies and capabilities that can strengthen IMO Health’s platforms and products.

Platform, Data & Knowledge Architecture

• Shape the enterprise architecture vision and guide the evolution of IMO Health’s technology ecosystem.
• Establish clear platform boundaries, ownership, interfaces, and shared capabilities to reduce duplication, fragmentation, and technical debt.
• Align application, platform, API, data, knowledge graph, integration, security, and cloud architecture.
• Advance the IMO Health Knowledge Graph and related clinical knowledge assets as foundational capabilities for clinical AI and next-generation products.
• Identify opportunities to simplify the technology ecosystem and build reusable capabilities that can be leveraged across products and platforms.

AI & Technical Innovation

• Define and promote scalable architecture patterns for AI-enabled products and workflows, including knowledge-grounded AI, agentic systems, retrieval, evaluation, observability, and human oversight.
• Work directly with teams on complex technical challenges, including system design, technology evaluation, prototypes, and proofs of concept.
• Validate emerging technologies and approaches before significant investment or roadmap commitments are made.
• Translate architectural direction into practical, reusable solutions and establish a clear path from experimentation to production.

Architecture Leadership & Partnership

• Lead and develop the Enterprise Architecture team while maintaining high expectations for technical depth and hands-on contribution.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Informatics, Data Science, Security, and Infrastructure leaders to connect business priorities with architecture and execution.
• Mentor architects and technical leaders and strengthen the broader technical leadership community across IMO Health.
• Help teams navigate complex technical tradeoffs, resolve cross-platform challenges, and turn architectural direction into executable plans.
• Establish lightweight mechanisms for architecture alignment, decision documentation, knowledge sharing, and reuse without creating unnecessary governance or delivery bottlenecks.
• Represent IMO Health’s technical capabilities in select strategic customer and partner engagements involving architecture, integration, data, clinical informatics, and AI.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

• IMO Health has a clear architecture strategy that connects technology, clinical knowledge, data, AI, and product priorities.
• Teams have clear platform ownership and reusable capabilities, enabling faster execution with less duplication and technical debt.
• The IMO Knowledge Graph and related clinical knowledge assets become foundational infrastructure for AI and next-generation products.
• Architecture is viewed as a trusted technical partner that reduces risk, improves decisions, and accelerates delivery.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• 15+ years of progressive experience in software, platform, data, informatics, or enterprise architecture, including complex, enterprise-scale systems.
• Demonstrated success as a hands-on architect who can move between strategy, system design, prototyping, and implementation guidance.
• Experience leading architects and influencing engineering and technical leaders across organizational boundaries.
• Deep expertise in modern cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, APIs, data platforms, security, reliability, and software delivery.
• Practical experience designing or enabling AI and machine learning capabilities in production, including generative AI architecture.
• Strong ability to connect business and product strategy to technology and platform decisions.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage technical leaders, executives, customers, and partners.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

• Experience in healthcare technology, clinical informatics, terminology, ontologies, interoperability, knowledge graphs, or clinical data platforms.
• Experience with knowledge-grounded AI, agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, AI evaluation, and responsible AI.
• Experience supporting strategic customer engagements, technical partnerships, and complex enterprise integrations.
• Experience operating in regulated environments with sensitive healthcare data.
