Job description

Role Purpose

Own end-to-end delivery, reliability, and continuous improvement of IT services that enable R&D innovation across multiple MedTech business units. Ensure secure, compliant, and resilient operations across lab computing, instrument workstations, segmented/ICE networks, and integrated IT/OT capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day‑to‑day IT service delivery for R&D labs working in collaboration with the site based BT and R&D leaders; incident, request, problem, and change management via ITIL/ServiceNow with clear SLAs/OLAs and root‑cause eradication and transparent communications to site leadership.


• Act as the site technologist. Translate R&D site strategies into practical, secure solutions on the shop floor and in labs; advise on architectures, platforms, and patterns that accelerate throughput and quality. Understand and document the business goals(s) and how our technology can enable those outcomes.


• Serve as domain expert for deployments involving firewalls, ICE/segmented networks, IT/OT integrations, IoT enablement, and equipment connectivity (instrument PCs, controllers, gateways). Document local site capabilities such as asset lists, and locally managed applications working with the BT site leader.


• Oversee core lab infrastructure (servers, networks, software baselines, backups/DR) and coordinate patching, hardening, and vulnerability remediation for instrument workstations within regulated constraints. Support audits, CAPAs, deviations, and change control.


• Partner with Lab Operations, Quality, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and vendors to translate lab needs into scalable, secure solutions; manage vendor performance, and on‑site activities.


• Drive continuous improvement and cost optimization (process simplification, automation, standardization), maintaining transparency through KPI dashboards and service reviews.


• Ensure compliance with GxP/data‑integrity expectations (e.g., GAMP 5, ALCOA+), and support audits, CAPAs, deviations, and change control for computerized systems.


• Coordinate site readiness for projects (lab moves, new instruments, integrations), including network segmentation (ISA‑95 / NIST), connectivity, and qualification/validation impact.


• Maintain cybersecurity and data‑integrity expectations; support regulated operations (e.g., GxP) as applicable.


• Maintain robust knowledge articles and runbooks for repeatable, high‑quality operations in MLL contexts.


• Champion reliability and value. Ensure each initiative ties to business outcomes—safety, quality, service, cost—working closely with Operations, Quality, Engineering, and Cybersecurity.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's in information technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent experience.


• 6+ years in IT service delivery/operations with hands‑on supporting scientific/R&D/operational technology environment (instrument PCs, controllers, data systems) and ITIL‑aligned ITSM (ServiceNow, Jira).


• Strong understanding of segmented/ICE networks, firewalls, and secure equipment connectivity in regulated settings.


• Proven leadership of multi‑vendor, on‑site/remote teams with measurable SLA attainment and continual improvement.


• Clear, concise communicator across operations, quality, and technical stakeholders; strong stakeholder management in fast‑paced settings.
