This is primarily an architecture, strategy, and roadmap-focused role. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping end-to-end solution architectures, defining future-state technology landscapes, and ensuring the successful alignment of business, scientific, and manufacturing needs with scalable digital solutions. The role does not involve hands-on software development or direct implementation. Instead, it focuses on architecture leadership, technology strategy, solution governance, and stakeholder engagement across business and technology functions. Data, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence are important solution domains within the MSAT portfolio. However, the primary focus of the role is to establish robust, scalable, and compliant technology architectures spanning applications, integrations, cloud platforms, data ecosystems, and manufacturing systems. As the organization continues to evolve its digital capabilities and adopt emerging technologies, the role will require curiosity, adaptability, and a continuous learning mindset., Solution Architecture & Strategy * Define and maintain technology architecture strategies, roadmaps, and target-state architectures supporting MSAT business objectives. * Design end-to-end solution architectures covering applications, integrations, cloud services, data platforms, and manufacturing systems. * Translate business, scientific, and operational requirements into scalable technology solutions. * Lead architecture reviews and technology evaluations to support strategic decision-making. * Establish and promote architecture standards, principles, patterns, and best practices. * Drive platform rationalization, modernization, and technology lifecycle management. * Ensure solution designs are scalable, maintainable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards. Digital, Data & AI Enablement * Define architecture patterns enabling data, analytics, and AI capabilities across the MSAT ecosystem. * Support the adoption and integration of advanced analytics and AI services within enterprise technology landscapes. * Collaborate with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Analytics teams to ensure solutions are scalable and sustainable. * Identify opportunities to leverage digital technologies to improve manufacturing performance, process understanding, and business decision-making. * Ensure data and AI solutions align with governance, compliance, and security requirements. Manufacturing & MSAT Enablement Partner with MSAT teams to support: * Process optimization * Technology transfer * Process validation * Lifecycle management * Continuous improvement initiatives Responsibilities include: * Understanding manufacturing science and operational processes. * Supporting the digitization of MSAT capabilities through scalable technology solutions. * Aligning scientific and business objectives with enterprise technology strategies. * Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, collaboration, and data accessibility across the MSAT landscape. Governance, Risk & Compliance * Ensure architectural solutions align with GxP requirements. * Embed security, compliance, privacy, and governance principles into solution architectures. * Support audit and inspection readiness from a digital architecture perspective. * Ensure architecture decisions comply with enterprise technology standards and regulatory expectations. Stakeholder Engagement * Act as a trusted advisor to MSAT, Manufacturing, Quality, Data, Digital, and IT stakeholders. * Facilitate alignment across business, scientific, and technology organizations. * Influence strategic technology decisions and promote architecture best practices. * Foster collaboration between enterprise architecture, solution delivery, digital, and business teams. * Communicate architecture vision, roadmaps, and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
