Job Description Overview

The Talent Acquisition Technology Architect is accountable for the end-to-end technical architecture, product experience, and performance measurement of BD’s Talent Acquisition technology ecosystem. This role partners with TA, HR, IT, People Analytics, Finance, and key vendors to ensure BD’s TA tech stack is scalable, integrated, secure, and delivers measurable improvements in hiring outcomes and user experience for all TA personas (candidates, recruiters, hiring managers, TA leaders, HRBPs, interviewers, and onboarding stakeholders).

The architect will evaluate and optimize the current TA tool landscape, benchmark BD capabilities against best-in-class market practices, quantify the impact of technology on TA outcomes, and bring forward prioritized technology proposals that solve business challenges and reduce operational friction. The ideal candidate combines deep TA process expertise with enterprise architecture skill, data/analytics fluency, and a strong product mindset focused on user-centered design.

Key Responsibilities

Own and maintain the architecture blueprint for BD’s TA technology ecosystem (e.g., ATS, CRM, sourcing, assessments, scheduling, background screening, onboarding handoffs, offer management, talent intelligence, hiring manager tools, analytics). Lead the design and ongoing optimization of integration patterns, data flows, and system interoperability, ensuring consistency, reliability, and scalability. Identify technical debt and drive remediation plans that reduce complexity and improve data quality, performance, and maintainability.

Drive a persona‑based experience strategy and drive user adoption across TA workflows to reduce friction and improve adoption for hiring managers, recruiters, candidates, and interviewers. Translate user pain points into product requirements, workflow redesigns, and configuration/integration changes that measurably improve speed, quality, and satisfaction. Partner with TA and Change Management to deliver clear, role‑based experiences—including embedded guidance, simplified data entry, and streamlined approvals.

Benchmark BD’s TA capabilities against best‑in‑class external practices and vendor capabilities, including competitive and peer comparisons. Conduct structured evaluations (e.g., capability mapping, gap analyses, vendor assessments, proof‑of‑concepts) and document recommendations with clear tradeoffs. Maintain a point of view on emerging TA technologies (AI‑enabled matching, skills inference, automation, candidate engagement, interview intelligence, marketplace solutions) and their applicability to BD.

Define and operationalize a TA technology value framework to measure how the stack impacts business outcomes, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Track benefits realization post‑implementation and drive continuous improvements based on data.

Create and manage a prioritized TA technology roadmap aligned to BD strategy, capacity, and governance. Lead cross‑functional delivery squads (internal and vendor) through discovery, design, build, test, deployment, adoption, and stabilization. Coordinate all aspects of testing including creating testing strategies, test plans and scenarios, assigning test scenarios and measuring successful testing outcomes.
