Director, Solutions Architecture

About Cohere Health:

Qualifications

• Familiarity with large, complex platforms — claims systems, utilization/care management platforms, or similarly mission-critical enterprise systems

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of 8 Solution Architects — hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
• Set the standard for solution design quality across the team: how SAs guide clients to existing functionality, document the BRD/FRD, and design future-state workflows
• Foster a culture of engaging with customers where they are — saying yes where we can, and pushing back constructively when we can't
• Own escalations when a solution design is contested, technically infeasible, or in tension with a commercial commitment
• Balance workload and account assignments across the team as new implementations continue to ramp up
• Partner with Solution Owners, FDEs, Platform Configuration, QA, and TPMs across the Delivery org to keep solution design in sync with delivery timelines
• Represent Solution Architecture in cross-functional planning and with client executive stakeholders on complex or escalated accounts
• Build repeatable training materials, templates, and playbooks so solution quality doesn't depend on any one architect
• 12+ years in solution architecture, technical consulting, or similar client-facing technical roles, including significant healthcare experience
• 3+ years directly managing a technical team — solution architects, FDEs, technical consultants, or similar
• Familiarity with large, complex platforms — claims systems, utilization/care management platforms, or similarly mission-critical enterprise systems
• Demonstrated ability to lead and make decisions in ambiguous, fast-changing environments without waiting for perfect information
• Strong technical judgment paired with genuine people leadership — comfortable going deep on a hard technical problem and coaching a direct report through a tough conversation in the same week
• Deep experience with payer operations, utilization management, or prior authorization specifically
• Background scaling a technical team through rapid company growth is a plus
• Experience presenting to and influencing client executive stakeholders is a plus
• Pay & Perks:
• 💻 Fully remote opportunity with about 10% travel
• 🩺 Medical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, and Employee Assistance Program
• 📈 401K retirement plan with company match; flexible spending and health savings account
• 🏝️ Flex Time Off + company holidays
• 👶 Up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave
• 🐶 Pet insurance
• The salary range for this position is $196,000 to $215,000 annually; as part of a total benefits package which includes health insurance, 401k and bonus. In accordance with state applicable laws, Cohere is required to provide a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including but not limited to qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, and internal alignment.
