Business Technology Architect- Manufacturing

About the Role

As a Manufacturing Sector Business Technology Architect, you will serve as a strategic technology leader and 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 leading manufacturers such as automotive OEMs and suppliers, aerospace and defense companies, industrial equipment producers, consumer goods companies, and chemical and process manufacturers. These clients are navigating digital operations, smart manufacturing, and connected supply chains while managing legacy systems, OT/IT convergence, and global regulatory requirements.

Typical engagements 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/4HANA migrations. You will help clients transition from fragmented, plant-level systems to integrated, data-driven manufacturing enterprises.

Preferred hiring locations: Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and the NYC area.

Responsibilities

• Own the design, delivery, and governance of enterprise architecture solutions, including capability-based roadmaps, target-state architectures, and reference architectures across manufacturing and operational domains.

• Translate manufacturing business outcomes—such as improved OEE, reduced unplanned downtime, faster time to market, supply chain cost reduction, and sustainability targets—into architectural requirements and platform decisions.
• Define and govern architecture standards, principles, patterns, and review processes that span IT and OT environments and enable scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions.
• Lead architecture strategy for core manufacturing programs including Smart Factory, MES/MOM modernization, ERP transformation, PLM, and connected supply chain initiatives.
• Drive OT/IT convergence strategies, helping clients integrate plant-floor systems, IIoT platforms, edge computing, and enterprise data environments into coherent architectures.
• Serve as Design Authority across complex programs, ensuring architectural integrity across applications, data platforms, integration layers, and operational technology.
• Lead vendor architecture assessments and RFP support, including solution evaluation criteria, target-state alignment, and integration and security considerations.
• Identify, shape, and help close new opportunities within the account by linking client challenges to high-value, multi-year transformation initiatives.
• Support executive workshops, roadmap definition, RFPs, and strategic pursuits by articulating clear technology visions and value propositions tied to operational outcomes.
• Collaborate with cloud, platform, and ecosystem partners—including SAP, Siemens, PTC, Rockwell, and hyperscalers—to accelerate innovation and delivery.

Skills

• Strong background in modern enterprise architectures including cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP), integration, data platforms, APIs, and IIoT ecosystems.
• Proven leadership of architecture teams or cross-functional technical initiatives spanning IT and OT environments.
• Ability to influence senior decision makers and connect technology decisions to measurable operational and business outcomes.
• Familiarity with manufacturing-specific platforms and standards such as SAP S/4HANA, MES/MOM systems, PLM tools (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill), ISA-95, and Industry 4.0 frameworks (preferred).
• Experience with OT/IT convergence, industrial networking, edge computing, or IIoT platform architecture (preferred).
• Consulting or advisory background supporting large-scale digital or operational transformation programs in manufacturing or industrial sectors (preferred).
