Datavant is the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare. Guided by our mission to make the world's health data secure, accessible and actionable, we provide critical data solutions for organizations across the healthcare ecosystem - including providers, health plans, researchers, and life sciences companies. From fulfilling a single patient's request for their medical records to powering the AI revolution in healthcare, Datavanters are building the future of how data is connected and used to improve health.
By joining Datavant today, you're stepping onto a driven and highly collaborative team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. Datavant is hiring a Vice President, Enterprise Engineering & Business Platforms to unify architecture and mature operations across the company's enterprise business platform layer (finance, CRM, integration, automation, and customer identity). This role owns the engineering and architecture of Datavant's revenue-critical enterprise systems, including financial platforms, CRM, integration middleware, automation infrastructure, and customer-facing identity. These systems process hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, support complex healthcare workflows, and connect dozens of applications across a growing and acquisition-influenced ecosystem. Today, this domain reflects rapid growth: multiple Salesforce environments, evolving financial systems, contractor-heavy middleware ownership, and new AI-driven automation initiatives moving into production. This role brings architectural clarity, durable ownership, integration discipline, and long-term cohesion to this mission-critical layer. This is an executive operator role, not advisory. The VP will make definitive architecture and vendor decisions, simplify and consolidate systems, and establish governance. The role also builds and leads a high-performing organization capable of operating complex enterprise platforms in a regulated healthcare environment.

CRM & Customer Platform Engineering
- Own engineering strategy and architectural governance for Salesforce and related CRM systems

Integration & Middleware (Core Platform Focus)
- Establish middleware as a first-class platform capability with defined ownership and architectural standards
- Clarify integration ownership and reduce reliance on contractors for core capabilities
- Define durable API and event-driven integration patterns across enterprise systems
- Ensure secure, reliable data flow across financial, CRM, and operational systems
Enterprise Automation & Emerging AI Workflows
- Govern enterprise automation capabilities including managed file transfer, RPA, and AI-enabled workflow initiatives
- Ensure emerging AI-driven systems (including contact center automation) are architecturally integrated and aligned with enterprise standards
- Prevent fragmented automation point solutions across teams
- Align automation initiatives to measurable business outcomes and operational resilience
Customer-Facing Identity
- Consolidate and harden customer-facing authentication and authorization into a unified, secure platform
- Improve reliability and reduce support burden related to login and access flows
- Ensure identity infrastructure scales with growth and meets healthcare compliance requirements
Team Leadership & Development
- Lead and develop directors and managers across financial systems, CRM, middleware, and automation
- Assess organizational structure and talent against long-term platform demands
- Build engineering depth to reduce vendor dependency in strategic areas
- Establish a culture of architectural ownership, operational discipline, and cross-domain collaboration
- Manage significant vendor and contractor relationships with clear accountability and transition planning
- Partner with recruiting to build senior enterprise platform engineering capacity globally
Requirements
- 15+ years in technology leadership. 5+ years leading enterprise engineering or platform organizations at the VP or senior director level
- Proven experience architecting and operating complex multi-platform enterprise ecosystems
- Deep understanding of integration architecture, middleware, APIs, and event-driven system design
- Strong experience managing COTS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite, or equivalent) without allowing architectural drift or over-customization
- Experience modernizing financial or revenue systems in high-growth or acquisition-driven environments
- Demonstrated ability to consolidate fragmented ownership models and build durable engineering organizations
- Experience operating in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (healthcare, life sciences, or financial services preferred)
- Ability to communicate decisions clearly, align stakeholders, and make definitive architecture/vendor calls under ambiguity
- Experience managing geographically distributed teams and significant vendor ecosystems
