As a Solutions Architecture Consultant with a focus on the healthcare industry, you’ll play a key role in bridging the gap between pre-sales strategy and project delivery. Drawing on your deep knowledge of healthcare systems and technical delivery, you’ll help shape, architect, and launch impactful solutions that align with client and executive partner goals. Whether leading architectural discovery for new healthcare initiatives or guiding in-flight projects as an individual contributor, you’ll ensure solutions are both technically sound and aligned with regulatory and operational needs.

You’ll engage with prospective healthcare clients to explore how our capabilities can meet their unique challenges, lead architecture efforts for new engagements, and collaborate closely with delivery teams to bring client visions to life. You’ll also provide critical estimates around team composition, build scope, and resource planning—ensuring healthcare projects are realistically scoped and staffed for success.

Between engagements, you’ll lend your expertise across teams as a flexible problem-solver, while deepening your knowledge in areas like cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) or healthcare-specific technologies.
