Senior Solutions Architect

About the role

We are partnered with a large academic medical center to develop a PM-ready Healthcare Technology Execution Blueprint for Year 1 (2026 to 2027). The Senior Solutions Architect owns the technical and dependency layer — ensuring every Year 1 workstream is architected to support Years 2 and 3 without rework, and that no requirement is discovered too late.

3 Month Engagement

Remote (will require travel 1-2x per month for 3-4 days per visit) in San Francisco

Pay: Starting at $120/hour

What you'll own

Lead forward-compatible requirements definition for each Year 1 workstream, ensuring Year 1 decisions account for the technologies and loads arriving in Years 2 and 3

Build the full cross-domain dependency map across all four workstreams — making inter-domain relationships explicit for sequencing decisions

Work directly with client SMEs on facility readiness assessments and infrastructure sequencing across sites

Apply the Epic-first evaluation framework — assess native Epic capabilities before recommending third-party solutions

Produce the technical sections of the Execution Blueprint: dependency model, facility deployment plan, forward-compatible workstream requirements

Collaborate daily with the Senior Health IT Strategist to ensure technical findings feed directly into stakeholder alignment and narrative

Key deliverables you'll drive

Forward-Compatible Workstream Requirements — full requirements set for each Year 1 workstream scoped to support Years 2–3

Cross-Domain Dependency Model — complete map of predecessor/successor dependencies across all workstreams

Facility Deployment Plan — site-by-site readiness, infrastructure remediation requirements, deployment sequencing

Technical input to Vendor Shortlist — Epic/Apple ecosystem compatibility scoring

Budget Framework — order-of-magnitude cost framework by domain and phase

Requirements

10+ years in health IT architecture, solutions design, or technical program management in complex health systems

Deep Epic expertise — particularly EHR integration, device connectivity, and cross-module workflow dependencies

Hands-on experience with at least two of the four engagement domains: digital infrastructure (Wi-Fi, network segmentation, IoT), enterprise mobile platforms (iOS-first, MDM), EHR integrations, or smart room technologies (IPX, RTLS, digital signage)

Proven ability to build cross-domain dependency maps and translate them into sequenced, executable plans

Experience conducting infrastructure and facility readiness assessments across multi-site health systems

Able to work at the speed of a fixed-timeline engagement — structured thinking, fast output, high rigor

Nice to have

Experience with RTLS deployment, AMR logistics, or smart room / IPX platforms

Familiarity with Epic-first evaluation frameworks for third-party technology decisions
