Position Overview

SUMMARY (BASIC PURPOSE OF THE JOB)

The IT Data Architect defines and governs Capital Health's enterprise data architecture to support clinical care, operational excellence, analytics, internally developed products, workflow automation, and responsible artificial intelligence. The role establishes the long-term information architecture, domain models, integration principles, cloud data platform direction, governance patterns, and technical standards required to make enterprise data trusted, secure, interoperable, reusable, and AI-ready.

This role is an enterprise architecture and technical leadership position. It does not primarily build every pipeline, own business reporting, or manage product adoption.
