About The Position

CTG is seeking to fill an ADMS Functional Architect position for our client. This role involves reviewing current operational applications, conducting impact assessments, and revalidating application capabilities against prioritized business and technical workflows. The architect will also review future-state ADMS application capability requirements, assess impacts within the context of planned data and integration changes, and partner with Business Analysts and Integration Architects to map workflows to supporting applications. Ensuring operational workflows are technically feasible within the target-state ADMS architecture, documenting application-level dependencies, and collaborating with Integration Architects to identify gaps are key responsibilities. The role supports strategic and technical planning for ADMS transformation initiatives, evaluates application capabilities against real-time operations and analytics requirements, and identifies opportunities to improve system interoperability and efficiency. The architect will also support the development of future-state application architecture, integration requirements, and transformation roadmaps, ensuring recommendations consider industry standards, security, and regulatory compliance.
