Your Key Responsibilities:

Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Contribute to the development and evolution of the target architecture, technology roadmap, and reusable architecture standards for shared enterprise platforms, including workflow and service management, automation, DevOps, low-code/no-code, cloud platform services, and other reusable technology capabilities.

• Develop solution architectures for the implementation, modernization, consolidation, integration, and continuous evolution of platforms within the Enterprise Platforms domain.

• Deliver architecture services, governance activities, architecture modeling, and documentation across global programs, projects, product teams, and platform initiatives, including conceptual and logical architectures, platform blueprints, capability maps, technology standards, and architecture decision records.

• Define and apply reusable architecture patterns, principles, standards, and reference architectures to improve platform consistency, interoperability, scalability, reuse, and long-term maintainability.

• Evaluate platform capabilities, identify technology gaps and functional overlaps, and provide recommendations regarding platform adoption, modernization, consolidation, rationalization, or retirement.

• Support platform ownership and product teams in defining platform boundaries, shared services, technology roadmaps, lifecycle strategies, and non-functional requirements while promoting platform reuse, standardization, automation, and self-service capabilities.

• Ensure platform architectures meet enterprise requirements for cybersecurity, data privacy, resilience, availability, business continuity, disaster recovery, GxP, and other applicable regulatory, quality, and compliance frameworks.

• Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, Security, Infrastructure and Cloud, Data and Analytics, Integration, SAP, business application teams, vendors, and implementation partners to ensure architectural alignment, validate platform capabilities, and advise on emerging technologies and platform innovations relevant to Sandoz.
