Director, Enterprise Data Architecture

Purpose

As Director, Enterprise Data Architecture, you will lead the enterprise design, governance, and modernization of data platforms and capabilities that enable Clinisys' digital transformation. This is a transformational leadership role, not a reactive support function. You will partner with Product, Engineering, AI, Cyber Security, and business functions to deliver integrated, end-to-end data capabilities that improve data quality, accessibility, and decision-making outcomes.

You will be accountable for both the architecture and the realization of business outcomes enabled by data, including improved data governance, cleanliness, analytics adoption, automation, and availability. The role requires strong cross-functional influence, ownership of enterprise data outcomes, and the ability to drive measurable improvements across the data value chain.
