** ROLE OVERVIEW
** The Director, Data Architecture owns the enterprise data model and the architecture standards that govern how data is structured, conformed and validated across the enterprise data platform. This player-coach leader defines and approves canonical models, Bronze and Silver design standards and conformance requirements, and holds architectural approval authority over enterprise data designs. The role directs a team of Technical Data Analysts, Data Quality Analysts and MDM Data Stewards who translate analytical use cases into model designs, validate that implemented data products conform to the approved design, and steward master data resolution.

The role owns the logical and physical design of the enterprise data model;
Data Engineering builds the pipelines that populate it and operates it in production. Architectural decisions made here govern how every enterprise data product is structured, secured and consumed, and carry direct consequence for HIPAA compliance, regulatory reporting accuracy and analytical trust.

Technical Data Analysts are embedded as durable members of domain-oriented data-product teams alongside Data Engineers and Enterprise Analytics partners. The director leads the Data Architecture professional practice and ensures enterprise consistency while domain teams share one backlog, delivery plan and definition of done for high-quality silver data products.

Consistent with Life Stance’s values, every member of the Life Stance team is expected to support each other and the mission, which may mean participating in projects and initiatives and performing functions and responsibilities not specifically outlined in this job description.

* Establish architectural standards across Bronze and Silver layers, including source-aligned schema models, schema organization, naming conventions, change-data-capture patterns, audit metadata standards, retention policies and PHI handling requirements. Bronze is a designed and governed layer, not an ungoverned raw landing zone.
* Own the data quality and validation function for enterprise data products, directing Data Quality Analysts who define and execute validation rules confirming that implemented data is correct — no duplicate patients, every encounter tied to a valid provider, required fields populated, referential integrity intact and record counts reconciled to source.
* Direct MDM Data Stewards responsible for resolving records flagged by the master data management platform, adjudicating identity matches and tracing global…
