Job summary

In this player-coach role, you will set the technical and business standard for how Cohere designs solutions for complex healthcare clients on mission-critical platforms.

The role is remote-first with occasional travel to Boston, MA for onboarding and team meetings. You will partner with stakeholders across the Delivery org to ensure alignment with delivery

Qualifications

• 12+ years in solution architecture, technical consulting, or similar client-facing technical roles, including significant healthcare experience
• 3+ years directly managing a technical team - solution architects, FDEs, technical consultants, or similar
• Familiarity with large, complex platforms - claims systems, utilization/care management platforms, or similarly mission-critical enterprise systems
• Demonstrated ability to lead and make decisions in ambiguous, fast-changing environments without waiting for perfect information
• Strong technical judgment paired with genuine people leadership - coaching a direct report through tough conversations
• Deep experience with payer operations, utilization management, or prior authorization specifically
• Background scaling a technical team through rapid company growth is a plus
• Experience presenting to and influencing client executive stakeholders is a plus

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of 8 Solution Architects - hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
• Set the standard for solution design quality across the team: how SAs guide clients to existing functionality, document the BRD/FRD, and design future-state workflows
• Foster a culture of engaging with customers where they are - saying yes where we can, and pushing back constructively when we can't
• Own escalations when a solution design is contested, technically infeasible, or in tension with a commercial commitment
• Balance workload and account assignments across the team as new implementations continue to ramp up
• Partner with Solution Owners, FDEs, Platform Configuration, QA, and TPMs across the Delivery org to keep solution design in sync with delivery timelines
• Represent Solution Architecture in cross-functional planning and with client executive stakeholders on complex or escalated accounts
• Build repeatable training materials, templates, and playbooks so solution quality doesn't depend on any one architect
