Lead Solutions Architect

Lead Solutions Architect – Responsibilities

The Lead Solutions Architect works with user groups to solve business problems with available technology—including hardware, software, databases, and peripherals—ranging from moderate to substantial scope and complexity. The position is a senior individual contributor responsible for Humana’s interoperability portfolio, which encompasses integration of data with external entities using industry standards such as FHIR and HL7, and serves as the system of record for all medical records.

The architect owns the vision for complex, multi‑system projects, influences technology decision‑making, and bridges the gap between business strategy, engineering execution, and enterprise standards. The role ensures solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with organizational goals and industry best practices.

As Lead Solution Architect, you will oversee solution design for initiatives within the portfolio, translating complex requirements—including CMS interoperability compliance regulations—into cohesive, scalable architectural frameworks. You will collaborate closely with engineering leads, product managers, interoperability and clinical stakeholders, and vendor partners to align technical decisions with business outcomes and long‑term strategic objectives. You will represent the architecture function in governance forums and executive reviews, articulate design rationale, and maintain adherence to enterprise standards.

Your responsibilities also include translating high‑level blueprints into actionable designs for engineering teams and continuously collaborating with Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Information Protection, Data Governance, and other domains to align solutions with IT strategy.
