• You will design FHIR resources and profiles for operational data (appointments, bed occupancy, admissions/discharges), optimizing for interoperability and process efficiency
• You will manage the lifecycle of archetypes, templates, and FHIR profiles: versioning, impact analysis, and quality assurance
• You will define and maintain mappings between source systems, openEHR templates, and FHIR profiles
• You will ensure semantic consistency and correct use of clinical terminologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD)
• You will collaborate closely with other teams, translating business, clinical, and technical requirements into robust, well-structured data models
• You will work on digital health projects with leading Swiss healthcare institutions
• You will support and mentor client-side data modeling teams, helping them build a sustainable, repeatable approach to data modeling
• You will contribute to strengthening OWT's internal expertise in openEHR/FHIR and participate in strategy development

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in clinical/healthcare data modeling, with a focus on openEHR and/or FHIR
• Experience with lifecycle management of archetypes, templates, and FHIR profiles
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g., in medicine, life sciences, natural sciences, computer science)
• A background in healthcare, or demonstrably strong domain knowledge and understanding of clinical workflows, terminology, and data
• Experience or strong interest in team leadership, bringing structure, strategy, and planning to clinical data modeling teams at client organizations
• Fluency in German and English (minimum C1 level); French is a plus
• Strong communication skills to collaborate with clinicians and technical stakeholders
• Certifications (openEHR, FHIR, HL7) are a plus

• A dynamic, collaborative culture with a strong client focus, working with prestigious Swiss organizations on diverse and cutting-edge technology projects
• A growth-oriented environment with a clear career path and fast progression opportunities
• A modern work model combining office presence, home office, and client-site collaboration
