To us, change equals opportunity. Every day, our colleagues are challenging what’s possible and making headway to innovate new treatment pathways to advance patient outcomes and set new standards of care.

The Director IT – Enterprise Architecture operates at the intersection of business and IT, guiding technology investment decisions, shaping target‑state architectures, facilitating solution design workshops, and enabling execution through governance, standards, architectural guardrails, and clear technical documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Technology Strategy & Architecture Vision Define and evolve enterprise architecture strategy, principles, and target‑state architectures aligned to business priorities and operational effectiveness. Develop domain solution architectures, reference architectures, and multi‑year technology roadmaps across business units. Assess and recommend technologies, platforms, and digital capabilities that foster innovation, including automation, AI, cloud, SaaS, and advanced analytics. Evaluate technology options for compatibility with enterprise architecture standards, cybersecurity requirements, regulatory obligations, and measurable business value. Provide architectural guidance for platform selection, system rationalization, solution fit, lifecycle planning, and investment prioritization.
• Architecture Governance & Leadership Establish and sustain enterprise architecture frameworks, standards, governance processes, and technology roadmaps across business units.

• Modernization & Target‑State Enablement Lead technology design efforts to streamline, consolidate, and modernize the application portfolio, migrating end‑of‑life systems to secure, scalable, and supportable architectures. Define target‑state architectures, modernization pathways, DevOps enablement practices, and architecture‑led prioritization frameworks that reduce technical debt and improve resiliency. Guide transformation initiatives through architecture governance, roadmap alignment, business case support, and execution oversight.
• Standards, Patterns & Integration Architecture Define enterprise standards, design patterns, API strategies, event‑driven integration patterns, and interoperability models to enable seamless data exchange. Create architecture diagrams, solution documentation, technical standards, and decision records to support governance and delivery execution. Promote DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code, release automation, and platform engineering approaches to improve delivery speed, quality, reliability, and operational supportability. Lead and participate in solution design workshops with product development, engineering, commercial, business, and technology teams.
• Compliance, Risk & Security by Design Ensure architectural solutions comply with applicable industry regulations and standards, including GxP, GDPR, FDA guidance, IEC 62304, cybersecurity policies, and internal quality requirements. Embed security, privacy‑by‑design, data protection, resiliency, and compliance requirements throughout all technology layers. Partner with security, quality, legal, privacy, and risk teams to assess architectural risk, define mitigations, and ensure sustainable compliance.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, engineering, or a related field required; Master’s degree strongly preferred.
• At least 15 years of progressive IT experience spanning design, development, and architecture in regulated industries.
• Extensive knowledge of enterprise platforms, including ERP, CRM, QMS, PLM, LMS, contact centers, and related Life Sciences systems.
• Expertise in cloud architecture and services, such as Oracle Fusion, Azure, AWS, and GCP.
• Proficiency in data management, master data management, and data platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks.
• Knowledge of AI and machine learning technologies.
• Experience with DevOps practices and modern delivery models, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, release management, observability, and site reliability engineering concepts.
• Strong understanding of data security, privacy, and compliance requirements.
• Exceptional communication, leadership, and analytical skills, with the ability to influence both technical and executive stakeholders.
• Relevant certifications, such as TOGAF or Zachman, preferred.
