What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director, Product Architecture position at IQVIA?
Summary
We are looking for a strategic and hands-on Director of Architecture to lead the end-to-end architecture of our Clinical Data Analytics Suite (CDAS). You'll architect scalable, cloud-native platforms using Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, and AI/ML-driven microservices—all while working closely with product, data, and clinical teams.

Job Overview
This role will define and drive architectural vision across cloud, data, AI/ML, and platform domains, with a strong emphasis on scalability, modularity, interoperability, and compliance with life sciences regulations (e.g., GxP, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11). The Director will partner with cross-functional teams to establish design standards, enable modern data platforms (Azure, Snowflake, Databricks), and drive innovation in clinical analytics and digital health technologies. Ideal candidates bring deep experience in regulated healthcare or life sciences environments, strong enterprise and data architecture expertise, and the leadership ability to influence across both business and engineering domains. With major strategic initiatives launching in 2026, this role will be essential to ensuring scalable and future-ready architecture from the ground up.
