## Description

Aquila Talent Solutions is seeking a hands-on, high-impact Director, Application Architect based in the United States to shape and drive the core technology landscape for Rose BioSolutions. Stepping into an individual-contributor leadership role reporting directly to the CIO, you will lead the technical transition away from a former parent company's shared services. You will design, integrate, and govern an enterprise-grade stack connecting SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, Salesforce CRM, Ironclad, UKG, QMS, and LIMS across a regulated life sciences manufacturing environment., * Architect the Enterprise Ecosystem: Own the end-to-end architecture and integration across core platforms (SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, Salesforce, Ironclad, UKG, QMS, and LIMS), defining data flows, middleware patterns (e.g., Boomi, MuleSoft), and system-of-record decisions.

 * Lead Technical Carve-Out & TSA Exit: Drive the technical separation from the former parent company, orchestrating data disentanglement, new instance stand-ups, cutover timing, and the closure of the Transition Service Agreement (TSA).
 * Direct Hands-On Configuration: Work directly within systems to evaluate design, integration, and configuration choices, maintaining technical independence rather than relying entirely on systems integrators.
 * Oversee GxP Validation & Compliance: Establish Computer System Validation (CSV) and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance standards, managing the continuous revalidation strategy necessitated by SAP Public Cloud's quarterly release schedule.
 * Drive AI Integration & Vendor Governance: Identify and responsibly apply native AI capabilities (such as SAP Joule/Business AI and Salesforce Agentforce/Einstein) to operational workflows, while managing vendor contracts, licensing, and renewals.
