Senior Manager, Digital Health & Technology (Healthcare Sector Exp) 50013026

JOB PURPOSE

The Senior Manager of Digital Health & Technology leads the definition, prioritisation and delivery readiness of QHC’s healthcare digital, data and technology requirements. The role translates clinical, operational and corporate priorities into clear technology requirements, delivery roadmaps, information flows and reporting needs, while coordinating with QIC / QTech on solution design, architecture alignment, implementation planning and service readiness.

In a healthcare startup, technology is a critical enabler of clinical operations, reporting, integration and patient experience. The role supports prioritization of the systems required across Sports Medicine, Citywide Healthcare and IHN, and tracks technology dependencies, delivery risks and readiness requirements.  Specifically, within Sport Medicine / Performance , technology is core infrastructure rather than a support afterthought: electronic health records, clinical and athlete-monitoring platforms, analytics and cybersecurity must be specified, procured, deployed and integrated to enable safe clinical delivery and evidence-based performance health.  

The role works closely with clinical, operations, finance and enabling teams to translate business and clinical needs into healthcare technology and data requirements, coordinating with function owners and QTech to ensure solutions are aligned with healthcare requirements and that data is usable for decision-making. The role also supports technology quality assurance, readiness and compliance with relevant healthcare-specific technology and data requirements.
