About the Job Youre Considering

The Business Architect / Solution Architect - Life Sciences Industry Expert plays a critical role in shaping how business strategy, operating models, and technology come together to enable scalable, compliant, and outcome‑driven Life Sciences enterprises. As part of the Business Technology Architecture (BTA) discipline, this role helps define business capability models, operating constructs, and architecture frameworks, while also taking hands‑on responsibility for visualizing and architecting end‑to‑end solutions.

This role goes beyond traditional business architecture. In addition to strong capability and process modeling skills, this individual must be able to operate as a Solution Architect, translating business intent into implementable solution designs across applications, integrations, data, and non‑functional concerns. The role supports and partners with Enterprise Architects while leading solution shaping within programs and strategic initiatives.

Experience within Capgeminis Life Sciences scope 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. The role requires a strong understanding of how regulated operations, data flows, and enterprise platforms interact across the Life Sciences value chain.

Your Role

• Managing Business Architect / Solution Architect (BTA): Lead business architecture and solution architecture workstreams, including capability‑based roadmaps, target‑state operating models, solution designs, and governance. Demonstrate leadership across the architect community with a strong focus on outcomes and execution.
• Client Collaboration: Work with internal and external clients to build a holistic view of business strategy, capabilities, services, governance, organizational domains, and key business processes, translating business intent into actionable solution designs.
• Modeling and Design: Lead or contribute to the development of capability maps, value streams, and process models across Life Sciences functions such as R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, Safety, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Commercial, and Enterprise Services.
• Solution Architecture: Design and visualize end‑to‑end solution architectures, spanning applications, integrations, and data flows; produce clear architecture diagrams and patterns that delivery teams can implement.
• Enterprise Alignment: Contribute to enterprise and domain architectures for Life Sciences ecosystems, including package‑based platforms and custom solutions, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
• Integration Patterns: Define and guide integration patterns (API‑first, event‑driven, batch/streaming trade‑offs) between Life Sciences systems and enterprise platforms.
• Configuration vs. Customization: Balance configuration vs. customization decisions for package‑based solutions, protecting upgrade paths, validation posture, and long‑term sustainability.
• Artifacts and Documentation: Produce architecture artifacts for delivery teams including capability models, solution designs, process flows, interface definitions, and technical documentation.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner closely with Data, AI, and Analytics teams to ensure solutions are data‑aware, AI‑ready, and aligned to governance expectations.
• Vendor and Platform Management: Participate in vendor evaluations, RFP reviews, and solution assessments as part of platform selection and modernization initiatives.
• Delivery Support: Support delivery teams during design, build, integration, testing, and deployment to ensure solutions align with intended architecture.
• Operational Excellence: Ensure SRE, observability, and DevSecOps considerations are embedded into solution designs in alignment with enterprise architecture standards.

AI Expectations (hands‑on): Actively use AI‑enabled tools to accelerate analysis, architecture definition, and delivery execution.

Your Skills and Experience

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 12+ years of experience across business architecture, solution architecture, systems engineering, or enterprise delivery roles, with demonstrated ownership of complex initiatives.
• Strong understanding of Life Sciences operating models, regulated delivery expectations, and cross‑functional enterprise processes.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into end‑to‑end solution designs, not just requirements or process models.
• Hands‑on knowledge of enterprise platforms and package‑based solutions, and how they are configured, extended, and integrated.
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), integration architectures, APIs, and modern architectural patterns.
• Ability to connect business intent, solution design, and delivery feasibility, working effectively with engineering teams.
• Strong analytical, communication, and executive‑ready documentation skills.
• Familiarity with business and enterprise architecture frameworks (Capgemini Architecture Method, TOGAF, IAF, or similar) is a plus.
• Proven leadership, learning agility, and the ability to influence across business, technology, and delivery stakeholders.
• Hands‑on adoption of AI tools to improve speed, quality, and clarity of architecture outputs, with sound judgment around data governance.
