Description The Principal Architect role is a critical enabler for aligning Baptist Health's business strategy with the evolving technology landscape across the enterprise. As the organization pursues digital transformation, data modernization, AI and operational efficiency, the Principal Architect will be pivotal in ensuring every technology investment is strategically connected to business outcomes. This role is responsible for navigating a complex technical environment that includes Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, and on-premises systems to enhance patient care, clinical effectiveness, and organizational agility.
Candidates with prior experience in healthcare or regulated industries are strongly preferred.
What You will Do - Lead through influence: Operate as an architect and strategic influencer to executive and domain leaders, helping align technology investments with business outcomes.
- Foster Collaboration: Build partnerships with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Security teams to co-own outcomes, not dictate them.
- Mentor and Inspire: Coach solution architects across federated domains to raise the bar on architecture quality, reusability, and scalability.
- Communicate and Influence: Translate architectural strategy into compelling business narratives that resonate with executive audiences and technical teams alike.
- Balance Short-Term Delivery with Long-Term Strategy: Facilitate informed trade-offs, track technical debt decisions, and ensure alignment with enterprise objectives.
Key Responsibilities - Define and maintain an enterprise-wide architecture blueprint that links business capabilities, clinical workflows, data, and systems to Baptist Health's strategy for improving patient care and future business growth across a hybrid, multi-cloud environment.
- Function as a key liaison between business leaders, clinical stakeholders, and technology teams, with a proven ability to articulate complex technical concepts to senior executives and both technical and non-technical leaders.
- Translate strategic objectives into actionable roadmaps, standards, and reference architectures.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and vendors to support innovation and continuous improvement.
- Actively support the architecture of cutting-edge data and AI systems to drive innovation.
- Embed governance into the design of Baptist Health's digital ecosystems so that interoperability, security, compliance, and resilience are engineered in from the outset.
