About The Position

The Enterprise Architect will help shape and implement Myriad Genetics’ next-generation technology stack, aligning architecture decisions with business growth, operational scale, and life sciences priorities. This role requires a pragmatic architecture leader who has successfully delivered modern enterprise platforms in healthcare, diagnostics, biotech, or life sciences environments. This is a hands-on enterprise architecture role focused on translating business strategy into executable architecture across life sciences capabilities, including digital engagement, provider and patient experiences, data governance, integration, identity, automation, analytics, and AI-enabled workflows. The Enterprise Architect will partner with business, product, engineering, security, data, and operations teams to define target-state architecture, evaluate platform options, guide implementation, and prepare clear executive recommendations. The ideal candidate has implemented modern platform capabilities such as integration platforms as a service (iPaaS), master data management (MDM), digital experience platforms (DXP), identity and access management (IAM), cloud, data platforms, intelligent document processing, and applied AI — not just evaluated them.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
Minimum of 10 years in IT architecture, including 5+ years in healthcare, diagnostics, biotech, or life sciences, with demonstrated experience implementing modern enterprise platforms.
Strong architecture, analysis, communication, and stakeholder alignment skills; practical experience with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF; exposure to cloud, APIs, data platforms, Salesforce, Oracle, laboratory systems, portals, and SaaS ecosystems.
Strong understanding of healthcare, diagnostics, biotech, or life sciences operating models, including regulatory, privacy, data, and interoperability considerations such as HIPAA, PHI, and FHIR.
Hands-on implementation exposure to iPaaS, MDM, DXP, IAM, API management, cloud, data platforms, intelligent document processing, AI-enabled workflows, and related integration and automation patterns.
