You will also serve as a hands-on leader of Healthcare Realty’s software development lifecycle (SDLC), helping establish practical standards and coordinating their consistent use across application initiatives.

Working closely with IT leadership, developers, project managers, business stakeholders, security, infrastructure, and other technical resources, you will guide applications from initial requirements through design, development, testing, approval, deployment, and ongoing support.
