Industry Solutions Architect (Life Sciences)
The Industry Solutions Architect (HLS) brings together deep healthcare and life sciences domain expertise and hands-on technical scoping to support Coastal's Enterprise embedment motion; landing Salesforce (including Health Cloud and Life Sciences Cloud) and Snowflake capability into Named Accounts jointly pursued with TCS. This is not a standalone advisory role: it is a specialization within Coastal's Scoping & Architecture function. The individual partners two-in-a-box with Client Partners on enterprise pursuits, delivers real bottoms-up scoping and estimating (not top-down guesswork), and brings a credible HLS point of view across Payers, Providers, Pharmaceuticals, and MedTech that strengthens the account strategy, the RFP response, and the client and TCS relationship alike. As programs close, this individual may transition into the embedded delivery team, carrying account and technical context forward rather than handing it off cold.

Role Responsibilities

• Partner two-in-a-box with Client Partners on Named Account pursuits, providing both technical scoping and Healthcare & Life Sciences (HLS) credibility throughout the sales cycle.
• Own bottoms-up scoping and estimating for Enterprise programs and projects by replacing top-down estimation with detailed, defensible effort models tied directly to the SOW and IWO.
• Act as the Voice of Healthcare & Life Sciences (HLS) to prospects, clients, and TCS counterparts on Enterprise pursuits.
• Represent Coastal at key industry events relevant to target Enterprise verticals (e.g., HIMSS, HLTH, Dreamforce HLS tracks), building relationships with industry stakeholders that open doors into Named Accounts.
• Co-develop HLS point of view and account strategy jointly with TCS Client Partner and technical counterparts.
• Lead Advisory / True North engagements for Enterprise accounts where deeper industry-led discovery is needed ahead of a scoped program.
• Support Enterprise RFP responses with technical scoping content, regulatory/compliance awareness (HIPAA, GxP), and HLS-specific win themes.
• Develop competitive analyses that position Coastal's Salesforce/Snowflake embedment capability against alternatives in the HLS space.
• Educate and enable Client Partners and Deal Operations on sub-vertical nuances (Payers, Providers, Pharma, MedTech/Biotech) relevant to their Named Accounts.
• Contribute to joint GTM content, plays, and marketing materials developed with TCS focusing on health digital transformation and data modernization.
• Engage with Salesforce HLS and Snowflake ecosystem contacts (RVPs, AEs, partner teams, industry leads) to support new opportunities and joint pursuits.
• Transition into the embedded delivery team as Enterprise programs close, where scoping depth and client context make this individual the natural first delivery resource.
• Travel as needed to support Enterprise sales cycles and joint TCS pursuits through to close.

Experience / Skills Required

• 8+ years of consulting experience in delivery leadership relative to iterative software development, with deep Salesforce experience required (specifically Health Cloud or Life Sciences Cloud) and Snowflake experience strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of sales or pre-sales / solutions engineering experience, ideally in an SI, channel, or partner-aligned selling motion.
• Demonstrated ability to scope and estimate complex enterprise health programs from the bottom up, with a track record of scoping accuracy against actual delivered effort.
• Deep Healthcare & Life Sciences (HLS) domain expertise with a strong point of view across key sub-verticals (Payer, Provider, Pharma, MedTech, Biotech), and comfort applying it in both technical and executive conversations.
• Familiarity with HLS data models, interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7), regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST, GxP compliance), and common health system/EHR/ERP integrations.
• Commitment to building long-term relationships with healthcare enterprise customers and TCS counterparts, and winning business through trusted relationships.
• Consultative mindset and dedication to learning in a dynamic, cross-entity (Coastal/TCS) environment.
• Understanding of and relationships within the Salesforce portfolio (including Health Cloud, Data Cloud, MuleSoft, Tableau, Slack) and the Snowflake Healthcare Data Cloud ecosystem.
• Excellent communicator who can translate business and clinical/patient engagement requirements into scoped technical solutions and think on their feet.
• Self-starter with the ability to multitask in a fast-paced, high-pressure Enterprise sales environment.
• Strong customer orientation and results-driven approach to both pre-sales and delivery outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze and interpret clinical, operational, or commercial health data for value-based discussions with Enterprise stakeholders.
• Must have full-time permanent US work authorization.

Additional Preferred Experience / Skills

• Experience leading digital transformation, patient/member experience modernizations, or large-scale change management efforts within large or matrixed health systems, health plans, or life sciences enterprises.
• Strong understanding of AI (Agentforce, predictive analytics, clinical workflow assistance) as applied within Salesforce and Snowflake solution design for HLS.
• Prior experience working within or alongside a systems integrator (SI) partner motion, ideally TCS or a comparable global SI.
• Ability to engage and motivate peers in a matrixed, pod-based team structure (not direct people management initially).
• Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience.
