Plan and execute imaging data migrations, including querying and troubleshooting the underlying databases, to ensure data quality and minimal disruption to clinical services. Lead day-to-day coordination of the implementation team's workload across build, integration, and migration activities, providing direct technical leadership, mentoring, and escalation support to engineers. Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Client Experience teams to improve integration capabilities, maintain technical documentation, and support pre-sales and tender activities. Required Qualifications and Experience 5+ years of experience implementing, integrating, or migrating PACS, RIS, VNA, or other healthcare imaging solutions.
