• Experience applying security, privacy and identity-by-design principles to enterprise or healthcare platforms
• Experience with framework governance, architecture reviews, contribution models, release management, technical debt and product-roadmap prioritization
• Ability to lead across internal teams, external suppliers, architecture, cybersecurity, quality, infrastructure, product and business stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical decisions, risks and trade-offs to senior stakeholders
• Strong understanding of Agile product delivery, including Scrum, Kanban, iterative planning and continuous improvement

• Direct experience with the IMPS Framework or comparable reusable digital-health platform frameworks
• Experience working within a global pharmaceutical, life-sciences, medical-device or digital-health organization
