Technical Analyst

Our client is building a new governed Clinical Data Layer
(CDL) to modernize the clinical data ecosystem.

A technical implementation partner will deliver the
platform; this contingent will act as a technical counterpart, ensuring
architectural quality, governance, compliance, scalability, and alignment with our
standards.

The role is closer to a Technical Lead / Data Platform
Architect than to a traditional Technical Analyst position.
