About the opportunity.

As a Solutions Architect – Data & Information, you’ll create impact by shaping how data and information move from TAC’s legacy claims environment to a modern claims platform, ensuring critical information remains accurate, accessible and trusted throughout a major transformation.

This is a hands-on solution architecture role focused on solving complex data challenges across migration, platform coexistence, integrations and information management. You’ll work closely with delivery teams, business stakeholders and implementation vendors to translate architectural principles into practical solutions that support the successful implementation of the new claims platform.

Key responsibilities include:

• Define the data migration architecture, including migration sequencing, source-to-target mapping, data quality, reconciliation and validation.
• Design data integration and coexistence patterns that maintain consistency across legacy and new platforms throughout the transition.
• Shape information and document migration approaches, including metadata, classification, lineage, retention and governance requirements.
• Partner with analytics and reporting teams to maintain continuity of business and regulatory reporting as platforms transition.
• Provide architecture guidance and assurance across data workstreams, working collaboratively with program architects, business stakeholders and vendors to resolve issues and progress delivery.
