Job Description
Responsibilities and Skills
1. Technical Leadership
Solution & Data Architecture
Lead solution architecture for digital and data products: ingestion, transformation, data models, semantic layers, APIs, analytics, and AI components.
Design and document architecture blueprints and reference designs that can be reused across Finance, Commercial, ISC, and Quality initiatives.
Provide hands‑on guidance to data engineers, platform engineers, and developers on implementation choices, performance, scalability, and resiliency.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Architect solutions on Azure and Databricks (and optionally Snowflake or similar) leveraging lakehouse patterns, Delta/Parquet storage, and governed semantic layers.
Design integration patterns to connect ERP, CRM, QMS, MES, planning, and other operational systems into unified analytic and digital platforms.
Lead API‑driven and event‑driven design for interoperability between digital products and core enterprise systems.
Data Engineering, Quality & Compliance
Define patterns for robust data pipelines (batch and streaming) with embedded data quality checks, lineage, logging, audit trails, and monitoring.
Ensure solution designs incorporate cybersecurity, access control, data privacy, SOX, and FDA/ISO requirements where applicable.
Work closely with data governance and MDM teams to align digital solutions with enterprise data standards, master data, and cataloging.
Analytics, AI & Automation Enablement
Collaborate with AI/ML and analytics teams to design technical foundations for forecasting, optimization, segmentation, predictive quality, and supply chain analytics.
Design solutions that are “AI‑ready”: clear data contracts, features available for models, and integration patterns that support MLOps and model lifecycle.
Support automation and decision support capabilities (e.g., rule engines, workflows, event‑based triggers) as part of end‑to‑end solutions.
2. Functional & Business Leadership
Domain Engagement (Finance, Commercial, ISC, Quality)
Partner with Finance, Commercial, ISC, and Quality stakeholders to understand business processes, data needs, KPIs, and pain points.
Translate business requirements into technical designs that are feasible, scalable, and reusable across regions and business units.
Help harmonize and standardize KPI definitions, reporting structures, and data semantics across functions.
Product Co‑Creation & Value Realization
Co‑create digital and data products with business‑led teams, ensuring strong alignment between user needs and technical approach.
Support prioritization of technical features based on business value, risk, and complexity, and ensure solutions are designed for adoption and scale.

Stakeholder Communication
Serve as the primary technical counterpart for product owners and business leaders on assigned domains.
Explain architecture options, trade‑offs, and implications in clear, non‑technical language when needed.
Participate in governance and steering forums to ensure alignment across technology, data, and business stakeholders.
3. Digital Operating Model, Standards & Leadership
Implement architecture standards, design patterns, and guardrails defined by the Director, Digital Solutions Architect, and extend them with domain‑specific patterns.
Review designs and implementations across teams to ensure adherence to standards and to maximize reuse and consistency.

Promote a culture of engineering excellence, documentation, and continuous improvement within the digital and data teams.
