Job summary

Lilly seeks a CE Data Architect to own end-to-end data architecture for the CE Pharmacy platform within the covered-entity boundary. You will manage canonical data models, medallion/ lakehouse structures, identity crosswalks, PHI classification, data contracts, and isolation controls to ensure compliance and scale.

You will collaborate with governance, policy-as-code, and engineering to build auditable, secure data products and enable CE Skills/agents with proper tokenization and guardrails.

Qualifications

• Define lineage, cataloging, and metadata strategy for CE for audit readiness and incident response.
• Provide architectural review and gatekeeping for new CE data flows, integrations, and AI/agent consumption paths.
