Position Description

We are currently seeking a highly skilled, client-facing Clinical Informaticist with demonstrated expertise in Oracle Health (Cerner) electronic health record (EHR) implementations to join our fast-paced and mission-driven team. This individual will serve as a strategic advisor to our clients and their end users, delivering hands-on, solution-based informatics support across the entire implementation lifecycle. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional verbal and written communication skills, an expert-level understanding of the Cerner model, and the proven ability to assess, recommend, and clearly articulate both system and workflow changes that drive meaningful results.

This role is ideal for an informaticist with a strong track record of success across both public and private sector deployments, especially those involving complex enterprise environments such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In addition to deep expertise with the Cerner product, the individual must be able to drive high-stakes conversations with senior and executive-level leaders, confidently translate complex clinical and technical concepts into clear strategic direction, and establish trust at the highest organizational levels.

Candidates must demonstrate the ability to develop, communicate, and execute strategic informatics plans; guide multidisciplinary teams; and anticipate risks or gaps that may affect deployment success. Deep implementation experience particularly across global, multiregional, or enterprise-wide EHR programs is essential.

While Cerner build experience is highly preferred, a strong foundational knowledge of configuration principles is required to make informed design decisions and collaborate effectively with build teams. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in at least two Cerner solution areas and be capable of integrating that knowledge into both system configuration and workflow alignment. A well-established professional reputation for collaboration with EHR vendors and cross-functional teams is essential.

Above all, the Clinical Informaticist must be a highly dependable, adaptable, and outcome-driven team member, able to operate across multiple workstreams, foster stakeholder trust, and deliver high-impact support that benefits both our clients and the populations they serve.
