Data Architect

Job Type: Contract

Contract Length: 3 Months

Target

Start Date:

Mid-January

Work Location/Structure:
Philadelphia, PA

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in Healthcare/Medical Device Technology, is looking for a strategic Data Architect to lead a high-impact initiative to transform patient care & HCP experiences for a 3-month engagement. This project involves defining the end-state architecture, moving the client away from legacy constraints and toward a modern, FHIR-aligned model across AWS, Azure, and Salesforce. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

• Define End-State FHIR Architecture to Enable Care Teams:
Develop the recommended end-state architecture, defining precisely how FHIR resources (e.g., Practitioner Role, Care Team, Episode Of Care , Organization/Location, etc.) will be represented, governed, and exchanged across the Client’s platforms.

• Drive Legacy Migration Strategy:
Deliver a deep-dive inventory and dependency map of systems, data domains, and integrations. Identify required data elements for Care Teams and evaluate data gaps relative to current on-prem sources and legacy schemas.

• Establish Implementation Strategy:
Recommend a phased sequence of major technical activities required to enable Care Teams across internal systems, establishing architectural guardrails for implementation.

• Document and Align Strategy:
Consolidate all findings, diagrams, and recommended approaches into a concise, actionable technical strategy document. Drive alignment and secure signoffs with Client stakeholders in a matrixed organization.

• Serve as a Trusted Technical Leader:
Partner closely with the Client's engineering and business stakeholders to produce deliverables to support planning and execution.

Required

Skills & Experience:

• 8–12+ years of experience in data architecture, enterprise integration, or healthcare interoperability.

• Deep expertise in HL7 FHIR R4/R5, resource modeling, profiling, and implementation guides. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.

• Demonstrated ability to assess legacy systems and design modernization/migration strategies.

• Strong understanding of core healthcare domains: provider/facility modeling, episodes of care, care coordination, and identity management.

• Strong communication skills to synthesize complex technical landscapes into clear architectural recommendations and stakeholder-ready deliverables.
