The Director – IT Clinical Applications is accountable for the strategic direction, modernization, and full lifecycle management of technologies within an assigned application domain. This role leads a team of Managers and/or Senior Managers, translating enterprise technology strategy into domain-level execution, with a strong emphasis on modernizing the technology stack, reducing technical debt, and building long-range roadmaps that anticipate future clinical and operational needs rather than simply maintaining current-state systems.
