The architect owns data model, security, integration, and portal design across the Patient Services lifecycle—enrollment, benefits verification, hub case management, adherence, field reimbursement, and patient/HCP engagement.

The role partners closely with BAs, developers, QA, validation, and engagement leads to translate clinical and commercial requirements into pragmatic, validated solutions. Limited travel 10% or less. Fully remote.
