· Design target-state workflows: Create future-state workflow designs for fax, Direct Secure Messaging, intelligent document processing, classification, extraction, routing, indexing, and delivery into downstream systems.

· Define solution architecture: Translate business and technical requirements into practical architecture recommendations across Concord Cloud Fax, NEXTSTEP, Concord Connect, integration engines, secure APIs, FHIR/HL7 workflows, folder-based delivery, and EHR integrations.

· Support SOW and PRD creation: Partner with Sales Engineering, Sales, Legal, Product, Engineering, and Professional Services to define scope, assumptions, deliverables, acceptance criteria, implementation sequencing, and customer obligations.

· Guide complex implementations: Provide technical leadership during onboarding, proof-of-concept, pilot, and production implementation activities, including risk identification, design validation, and technical issue resolution.

· Document requirements clearly: Create and maintain solution design documents, workflow diagrams, integration notes, field mapping documentation, interface specifications, test plans, and handoff materials.

· Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Implementation Project Managers, Support, DevOps, Product, Engineering, and Sales Engineering to ensure consistent delivery and smooth transition to support.

· Advise on healthcare interoperability: Apply knowledge of HL7, FHIR, CDA, DSM, APIs, interface engines, EHR workflows, and healthcare security practices to design reliable and supportable integrations.

· Enable repeatability: Contribute to reusable templates, service packages, discovery questionnaires, estimation models, implementation playbooks, and best practices that improve delivery consistency and scalability.

· Represent Concord professionally: Serve as a trusted advisor to customers by explaining complex technical concepts clearly to executive, operational, clinical, IT, and compliance stakeholders.
