Director, Enterprise AI Architecture

Purpose

As Director, Enterprise AI Architecture & Transformation, you will lead the design, delivery, and scaling of secure, responsible, and business-aligned AI solutions that advance Clinisys’ digital transformation. This is a strategic leadership role—partnering closely with the Office of the CTO, Product & Engineering, Cyber Security, Data, Operations, and business leaders to translate priorities into integrated, end-to-end capabilities that drive speed, experience, and measurable outcomes.

You will be accountable for both the architecture and the realization of transformation results. This includes owning the AI roadmap, operating model, and performance metrics to increase automation, reduce cycle times, and enhance user and customer experience. You will lead a small team of AI engineers/architects, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and drive disciplined execution with urgency and strong governance.
