Job Type : Contract

Contract Length : 3 Months

Target Start Date : Mid-January

Work Location / Structure :

Philadelphia, PA

About the Opportunity :

Our client, a leader in Healthcare / Medical Device Technology, is looking for a strategic

Data Architect

to lead a high-impact initiative to transform patient care & HCP experiences for a 3-month engagement. This project involves defining the end-state architecture, moving the client away from legacy constraints and toward a modern, FHIR-aligned model across AWS, Azure, and Salesforce. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables :

Define End-State FHIR Architecture to Enable Care Teams :

Develop the recommended end-state architecture, defining precisely how FHIR resources (e.g., Practitioner Role, CareTeam, EpisodeOfCare, Organization / Location, etc.) will be represented, governed, and exchanged across the Client’s platforms.

Drive Legacy Migration Strategy :

Deliver a deep-dive inventory and dependency map of systems, data domains, and integrations. Identify required data elements for Care Teams and evaluate data gaps relative to current on-prem sources and legacy schemas.

Establish Implementation Strategy :

Recommend a phased sequence of major technical activities required to enable Care Teams across internal systems, establishing architectural guardrails for implementation.

Document and Align Strategy :

Consolidate all findings, diagrams, and recommended approaches into a concise, actionable technical strategy document. Drive alignment and secure signoffs with Client stakeholders in a matrixed organization.

Serve as a Trusted Technical Leader :

Partner closely with the Client's engineering and business stakeholders to produce deliverables to support planning and execution.

Required Skills & Experience :

8–12+ years of experience in data architecture, enterprise integration, or healthcare interoperability.

Deep expertise in HL7 FHIR R4 / R5, resource modeling, profiling, and implementation guides. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.

Demonstrated ability to assess legacy systems and design modernization / migration strategies.

Strong understanding of core healthcare domains : provider / facility modeling, episodes of care, care coordination, and identity management.

Strong communication skills to synthesize complex technical landscapes into clear architectural recommendations and stakeholder-ready deliverables.
