Set and defend the technical direction for the eMedNY enterprise architecture portfolio across both the mainframe core and the cloud-native platform as one coherent architecture, not two disconnected ones
Maintain working command of the current-state environment — z/OS, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM, JCL, and the nightly batch cycle — sufficient to arbitrate design decisions and challenge estimates
Represent the program’s technical position to New York State Department of Health leadership through briefings, formal written responses, and procurement and regulatory questions
Set technical direction for and mentor the program’s technical leads, including the security architecture and governance and technical architecture and operations functions
Own architecture governance: chair architecture, change, and delivery-assurance review boards, and maintain standards, reference architectures, and design patterns spanning both platforms
Assess new and changing CMS and New York State regulatory requirements — interoperability, prior authorization, claims attachments, and reporting mandates — for architectural impact, and shape the technical roadmap and delivery plans that meet them
Direct compliance posture against HIPAA/HITECH, NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP Moderate, owning risk registers, corrective action plans, and audit and assessment response
Oversee technology evaluation and vendor and licensing decisions, including mainframe software licensing and sustainment cost, naming lock-in and supply-chain risk explicitly
Provide executive-level status reporting, technical documentation, roadmap development, and risk analysis to program, corporate, and client leadership
