Position Summary:
Public Health Ontario (PHO) is building a provincial public health Analytics Engine — the capability that turns public health data into timely analytics, surveillance, and decision support. The Senior Business Architect will lead the design of the Engine's operating model: the business architecture, end-to-end processes, and accountabilities (RACI) that instantiate a product-management approach to analytics.
Working with minimal direction and leading others, the Senior Business Architect will model the business at the enterprise and core-business levels, develop capability models and business transformation plans with senior management, and establish architectural governance and controls. The role ensures the operating model supports PHO and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (OCMOH), the broader public health sector, underpins the HealthMap initiative, and aligns with and advances the Public Health Data Utility (PHDU).
Key Responsibilities
- Leads development of the Data & Analytics Operating Model — to the process and RACI level — that instantiates PHO's product-management approach for analytics.

- Assesses capability gaps against the operating model and identify and recommend solutions to close them.
- Supports standing up the Data Science & Analytics Community of Practice with OCMOH and PHUs, embedding it in the operating model.
- Ensures the operating model supports both foundational Engine work and the HealthMap initiative, to start, and aligns with and advances the PHDU as the platform foundation for the Engine.
- Produces operating-model and governance artefacts suitable for OCMOH formal reporting, accountability, and approval.
- Analyzes information pertinent to business architecture, consults with appropriate contacts on specific business architecture elements, and conducts focus-group workshops.
- Develops and maintains the business capabilities of the enterprise in line with the corporate strategy, and contributes to business strategy and plans.
- Develops and revises business architecture artefacts as part of the Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) Federated Framework, ensuring they are vertically integrated.
- Models the business at the enterprise and/or core-business levels.
- Designs capability models and related architectural solutions; maps capability functionality to internal and external resources; develops business transformation plans jointly with senior business management; and develops and maintains architectural governance and controls over implementation.
- For each step of the business transformation plan, contributes to a blueprint of the enterprise that promotes a common understanding of the organization and aligns strategic objectives with tactical demands.
Key Deliverables
- Data & Analytics Operating Model — business architecture, end-to-end process maps, and RACI.
- Product-management model for analytics, instantiated through process and accountabilities.
