Job description

We Are Teva

We’re Teva, a leading innovative biopharmaceutical company, enabled by a world-class generics business. Whether it’s innovating in the fields of neuroscience and immunology or delivering high-quality medicine worldwide, we’re dedicated to addressing patients’ needs now and in the future. Here, you will be part of a high-performing, inclusive culture that values fresh thinking and collaboration. You'll have the room to grow, the flexibility to balance life with work, and the opportunity to better health worldwide, together.

Our Team, Your Impact

This section is where we attract the attention of potential candidates and sell the role. How has the role come about? What makes it appealing? What are the key responsibilities? How is the role better with Teva than with another company? Wherever possible, we should bring through the essence of our EVP pillars, i.e., we care, we’re in it together, and we make work fulfilling.

How You’ll Spend Your Day

• Own the enterprise data architecture blueprint - conceptual, logical and physical models and canonical entities (Product, Molecule, Study, Patient, Site, Batch, Customer, HCP) across the full pharma value chain.
• Drive harmonization at scale - converge master and reference data across business units, eliminating silos, duplication and divergent standards.
• Embed industry standards by design - IDMP, CDISC, HL7 FHIR, ISA-95, GS1 and Allotrope built into the architecture rather than retrofitted.
• Architect the domain and data mesh operating model - define bounded contexts, domain ownership, data products and contracts from Research through Commercial and Enterprise Functions.
• Automate the semantic layer into the platform - partner with Platform Engineering to encode models, metadata, lineage and catalog standards into Databricks Lakehouse, Unity Catalog and the Enterprise Data Marketplace.
• Make data AI-ready - deliver semantically rich, governed and discoverable data products that power analytics, AI/ML and GenAI workloads.
• Set and enforce governance - architectural guardrails, modeling standards, Data Architecture Review Boards, and compliance with GxP, GDPR, HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11.
• Lead as a trusted advisor - shape enterprise data strategy and transformation roadmaps with business and IT leaders, and mentor modelers, engineers and analysts.

Your Skills and Experience

• 8+ yrs architecture, incl. 4+ in pharma / life sciences
• Enterprise data modeling, ontology engineering and semantic modeling
• Domain-Driven Design and Data Mesh / Data Fabric at enterprise scale
• Databricks (Lakehouse, Unity Catalog, Delta) and Azure
• Modeling and semantic tooling (Erwin / dbt; OWL, RDF, SPARQL) and graph platforms
• Data governance and catalog tools (Purview, Collibra, Alation); Kafka / API integration
• Pharma and architecture standards: CDISC, IDMP, HL7 FHIR, GS1, TOGAF, DAMA-DMBOK
• Stakeholder leadership, mentoring and strategic thinking with delivery focus

Also Good to Have

• Experience implementing knowledge graphs for drug discovery, clinical insights, or RWE.
• Experience enabling GenAI / RAG / Agentic AI through semantic layers and ontologies.
• Familiarity with FAIR, Pistoia Alliance, and Allotrope Foundation initiatives.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, or related field.
