Build ontology‑driven data products, KPIs, data marts, and analytical frameworks for clinical pathways, care coordination, workforce planning, and command‑centre operations.

Implement robust security, classification, and purpose‑based access controls, ensuring full lineage, auditability, and regulatory compliance.

Work closely with clinicians, analysts, data engineers, DevOps teams, and senior leadership to guide platform adoption and architectural decision‑making.

Extensive hands‑on expertise in Palantir Foundry architecture, including pipelines, transforms, ontology, governance, and operational app development.
Strong understanding of healthcare datasets (EPR, PAS, FHIR/HL7, clinical coding, operational and workforce data).
Proven experience designing enterprise data models, semantic layers, or ontologies.
Strong background working within regulated environments such as NHS trusts, ICSs, central government, or large healthcare providers.

Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to influence technical and non‑technical audiences
