What are the responsibilities and job description for the Enterprise Architect position at IT Labs?
At IT Labs, we are looking for an experienced Enterprise Architect to support one of the most innovative companies in the digital health space.
Our client is transforming the way healthcare is delivered, paid for, and experienced. They operate a technology-driven platform that connects employers and patients with top-tier medical providers — helping eliminate surprise bills, reduce costs, and improve outcomes at scale. Backed by significant venture funding, validated by independent research, and recognized at the highest levels of business academia, they are at an inflection point — modernizing and scaling their technology foundation to meet the demands of enterprise growth.
In this role, you will serve as the single point of contact for executive leadership on all architecture matters. You will own enterprise-wide architectural standards, manage technology risk, and ensure that systems, platforms, and integrations are aligned with both business goals and regulatory requirements. This is a highly strategic role that requires equal parts technical authority and business communication skills.
This role is best suited for a seasoned architect who thrives at the intersection of technology strategy and business leadership.
What You'll Do
We are a company that seeks the best for both our employees and clients, reaching beyond expectations in turning dreams into reality. Our way of working is rooted in our core values (Integrity, Excellence, Proactivity, Innovation, and People), with an expectation that our future colleagues will make these their second nature in their everyday work and life. We don’t ask for perfection, but we do appreciate people motivated to better themselves in every conceivable aspect.
