The Business Architect – Life Sciences Industry Expert plays a key role in shaping how business strategy, capabilities, and technology come together to enable modern, regulated Life Sciences operations. As part of the Business Technology Architecture (BTA) discipline, this role helps define business capability models, operating constructs, and architecture frameworks that guide product, technology, and operations teams across the Life Sciences value chain.
This position supports senior architects by contributing to the creation of reference architectures, capability maps, business process models, and solution designs across enterprise, digital, data, and package‑based Life Sciences systems. The Business Architect collaborates closely with product teams, engineers, data teams, quality and compliance stakeholders, and functional leaders to ensure end‑to‑end business processes and operating models are coherent, scalable, compliant, and aligned to business strategy.
Experience across regulated, data‑intensive Life Sciences domains is essential, including Pharmaceuticals (Innovator & Generics), Biotechnology, MedTech & Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Consumer Health, and the extended ecosystem of CROs, CMOs/CDMOs, distributors, and channel partners. This role ensures that business processes, data flows, and operational handoffs are consistently designed and executed across the enterprise.
Your Role

- Contribute to enterprise and domain architectures for Life Sciences systems, including package‑based platforms and custom solutions.
- Support the design of solution architectures that align with business capabilities, enterprise standards, and security, quality, and operational requirements.
- Produce architecture artifacts including capability models, process flows, value stream maps, and documentation for use by delivery teams.
- Participate in architecture and design reviews for major programs and feature sets.
- Support architecture across key Life Sciences systems such as ERP, LIMS, MES, QMS, CTMS, safety systems, regulatory content platforms, manufacturing and supply systems, and commercial platforms.
- Evaluate Life Sciences technologies for functional fit, scalability, reliability, interoperability, and regulatory readiness.
- Contribute to modernization initiatives including platform upgrades, capability expansion, and technology rationalization.
- Collaborate with senior architects to define architecture guidelines, integration patterns, and governance processes.
- Participate in vendor evaluations, RFP reviews, and solution assessments as part of technology selection activities.
- Support delivery teams during design, build, integration, testing, and deployment to ensure solutions align with intended architecture.
- Assist in troubleshooting architecture, process, or integration issues and ensure design decisions uphold quality and best practices.
- Ensure SRE, observability, and DevSecOps considerations are reflected in business and solution designs in alignment with enterprise standards.
Your Skills and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field.
- 7–10 years of experience in business architecture, solution architecture, systems engineering, software design, or enterprise transformation roles.
- Strong understanding of Life Sciences operating models, regulated delivery expectations, and cross‑functional processes.
- Hands‑on knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), integrations, APIs, and modern architectural patterns.
- Ability to translate business requirements into capability models, process flows, and solution designs.
- Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills with the ability to work across technical and non‑technical stakeholder groups.
- Familiarity with business or enterprise architecture frameworks (Capgemini Architecture Method, TOGAF, IAF, or similar) is a plus.
- Comfort working in regulated environments, including quality, validation, and audit‑readiness considerations.
