VP Enterprise Engineering & Business Platforms
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.
