The Manufacturing Sector Business Technology Architect is a strategic technology leader serving as a trusted advisor to C-suite and senior operations and technology executives. This role defines and governs enterprise architecture strategy across complex, multi-domain landscapes including business, data, application, operational technology, and infrastructure, and translates executive priorities into actionable roadmaps, target-state architectures, and transformation programs.

You will work with some of the world's most respected manufacturers, including automotive OEMs and suppliers, aerospace and defense companies, industrial equipment producers, consumer goods companies, and chemical and process manufacturers. These clients are navigating the shift to digital operations, smart manufacturing, and connected supply chains — while managing the complexity of legacy systems, OT/IT convergence, and global regulatory requirements.

Typical areas of engagement include Smart Factory and Industry 4.0 transformations, Manufacturing Execution System modernization, supply chain resilience and planning, asset performance management, product lifecycle management, and enterprise ERP programs such as SAP S/4

HANA migrations. You will help clients move from fragmented, plant-level systems toward integrated, data-driven manufacturing enterprises.

Business Architects define and structure the business strategy, capabilities, services, governance, organizational domains and key business processes. They align goals and objectives with products, processes, services, partners and suppliers to optimize the enterprise organization, its capabilities and initiatives. The key focus is on the e2e value delivery, the business operations and business motivations linking the enterprise networks together. Business Architects define and ensure a comprehensive and coherent view across business domains, from strategy to execution.

They model and create organizational value capabilities, structures and maps to optimize transformation and change, operational value delivery and a rationalised and sustainable IT.
