€100,000 a year

Offer description

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)

* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field required.
* 10+ years of experience in a related field required.
* 6+ years’ experience managing, leading, and developing leaders (Managers/Supervisors).
* Alternatively, Master’s degree with 8+ years’ experience in a similar role.
* Experienced working in a changing, project‑driven organization.
* Demonstrated ability to plan, organize, and direct the work of subordinate managers and senior architects; set objectives and manage performance.


Preferred qualifications

* Master’s degree and/or TOGAF certification.
* Background in regulated (GxP/GMP) environments strongly preferred.
* Experience in biopharma, manufacturing, automation, quality systems, or supply chain is an advantage.
* 6–10 years’ experience in pharmaceutical/biological manufacturing operations preferred.
* 2+ years’ experience leading and developing leaders (Managers/Supervisors).
* Expertise spanning enterprise/solution architecture for secure cloud, data/AI, integration, and OT/edge.
* Impact that matters: Your standards and designs will directly influence platform integrity, cybersecurity posture, compliance readiness, scalability, and total cost of ownership across a global network.
* Enterprise scope with executive visibility: Operate with broad latitude, partner with senior leaders, and help steer investment priorities for transformative programs.
* A culture of innovation and quality: Collaborate with world‑class teams across Engineering, Manufacturing/Operations, Quality, and Digital to deliver safe, compliant, and scalable solutions.
