Director, Enterprise Architecture

Shape the digital backbone that powers life‐changing biologics. As Director, Enterprise Architecture, you’ll set the enterprise technology strategy and standards that connect our global operations—spanning IT/OT, cloud, data/AI, integration, and cybersecurity. You’ll translate our Vision 2030 into cohesive architectures, lead our Architecture Review Board, and guide mission‐critical programs (ERP, PAS/X, LIMS, Slipstream, manufacturing IT/OT, integrations, and data strategy) that safeguard compliance and accelerate time‐to‐value.

What you’ll do

• Set the enterprise architecture direction: Define reference architectures, blueprints, policies, and multi‐year roadmaps aligned to our digital strategy.
• Lead architecture governance: Chair the enterprise ARB, adjudicate standards and exceptions, and ensure coherence across IT, OT, cloud, data, and cybersecurity.
• Orchestrate platform and integration design: Establish API/event/canonical models and data standards for enterprise‐scale interoperability.
• Drive IT/OT convergence: Define target architectures for MES/LIMS/QMS, historians, SCADA/PLC, and IoT/edge with cybersecurity segmentation and GxP controls by design.
• Advance cloud, data & AI: Set patterns for landing zones, data platforms, MDM, analytics/AI, and model lifecycle governance; champion reusable data products and platform services.
• Embed security and compliance: Partner with CISO and QA to integrate GMP/GAMP 5/ALCOA+/GDPR/responsible AI controls; ensure audit‐ready documentation.
• Provide architectural authority for strategic programs: Shape solution options, simplify landscapes, and steward major design decisions and trade‐offs.
• Rationalize technology portfolios: Lead PoCs, standards reviews, and drive de‐duplication and re‐use.
• Manage lifecycle risk and resilience: Maintain an enterprise view on obsolescence and resilience; prioritize remediation and investment.
• Build talent and community: Mentor architects and mature a global architecture community of practice.

What you’ll bring (Minimum requirements)
