Johnson & Johnson is recruiting for a Sr Manager, IMSC Information Architecture Deliver, located in Spain, ES.

As we continue to build out our Data Strategy and Operations organization within Innovative Medicine Supply Chain, we are creating this role as part of the Information Architecture pillar. The role will help establish Information Architecture as a strategic capability that enables AI-ready, trusted, reusable, and context-rich information across IMSC domains.

The Sr Manager, IMSC Information Architecture Deliver will lead and oversee information architecture with primary focus on Deliver functional domains. This role will ensure that data assets are not only technically well designed, but also semantically aligned, discoverable, reusable, governed, and ready for analytics, automation, and AI.

As Sr Manager, IMSC Information Architecture, you will ensure data assets are FAIR, AI-ready, and aligned with IMSC Information Architecture principles, standards, metadata requirements, semantic models, and the broader IMSC information architecture.

You will develop and apply strategies to minimize duplication of information, clarify source of truth, establish shared business meaning, and strengthen consistency across supply chain functions, systems, and data assets. A key focus will be building the business context layer that connects data, knowledge, metadata, taxonomy, ontology, and semantic relationships to enable trusted AI and better business outcomes.

Your scope will span master data, transactional data, analytical data, metadata, business glossary definitions, semantic models, taxonomies, ontology structures, and knowledge graph patterns. You will help define how data is structured, described, connected, governed, and reused across the data asset lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with functional business partners, Data Owners, Data Governance, Data Operations, J&J Technology, and ensure adherence to architecture partners to design scalable information models and data assets that maximize business value, improve data trust and discoverability, and create the foundation for AI-ready data across IMSC.

• Design and implement end-to-end FAIR and AI-ready data assets for functional domains, spanning master data, transactional data, operational data, and analytics consumption needs.

• Lead conceptual and logical information modelling for assigned domains, ensuring that data assets reflect consistent business meaning, reusable structures, clear ownership, and alignment with IMSC Information Architecture standards.

• Define and apply Information Architecture principles, standards, and patterns across metadata, taxonomy, semantic modelling, ontology, business glossary, data assets design, and context layer development.

• Establish and maintain domain-level business semantics, including shared definitions, business terms, relationships, classifications, naming conventions, and mappings between business concepts, master data entities, and system representations.

• Support the development of the IMSC AI-ready context layer by connecting metadata, business meaning, relationships, rules, lineage, and knowledge structures that make data understandable and usable for analytics, automation, and AI.

• Partner with Data Owners and business process owners to ensure business ownership of data meaning, shared definitions, domain taxonomies, and reusable information models.

• Work closely with Data Governance to ensure that semantic definitions, metadata standards, data asset requirements, and information architecture policies are governed, adopted, and embedded into the data asset lifecycle.

• Collaborate with Data Operations and J&J Technology partners to ensure information models are translated into scalable, technically feasible, and governed data assets within the approved IMSC data ecosystem.

• Provide Information Architecture oversight for strategic initiatives and architecture reviews, ensuring that new data assets are aligned to standards for meaning, ownership, reuse, metadata, discoverability, governance, and AI readiness.

• Contribute to the design and adoption of the IMSC Information Architecture operating model, including roles, responsibilities, decision rights, review criteria in architecture board, lifecycle processes, and federated ways of working.

• Support the establishment and adoption of metadata cataloguing practices, business glossary standards, lineage visibility, data contracts, and reusable templates that improve discoverability and trust.

• Lead ontology and knowledge graph implementation to create a coherent context layer.

• Identify and pilot opportunities to use AI-assisted and agentic AI capabilities to accelerate metadata curation, semantic modelling, taxonomy development, ontology creation, data asset design, and quality review processes.

• Create practical guidance, playbooks, and examples that help business and technology teams understand and apply Information Architecture standards across domains.

• Drive adoption and awareness of Information Architecture across IMSC by simplifying complex concepts, communicating the value of metadata and semantics, and supporting education for business and technology stakeholders.

• Experience working in pharmaceutical, healthcare, life sciences, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, or regulated data environments.

• Good knowledge of industry standards and practices related to data management and information architecture, including FAIR, IDMP, ISO standards, data mesh, domain-driven design, semantic layers, and knowledge graphs.

• In-depth experience in information architecture, data architecture, data modelling, or data management, with strong capability in conceptual and logical modelling across complex enterprise domains.

• Strong understanding of FAIR data principles, data product design, metadata management, business glossary, taxonomy, semantic modeling, ontology concepts, and knowledge graph patterns.

• Experience designing end-to-end data products across master data, transactional data, operational data, and analytics consumption layers.

• Strong understanding of how information architecture enables AI-ready data, including semantic consistency, contextual connectivity, metadata completeness, lineage, data ownership, and governed reuse.

• Experience working with data catalogues, metadata repositories, business glossaries, ontology tools, semantic layers, knowledge graph technologies, lakehouse platforms, or comparable data and information management capabilities.

• Familiarity with platforms and capabilities such as Alation, Databricks, Neo4j, TopBraid, SAP S/4HANA, SAP BDC, medallion architecture, or comparable enterprise data and semantic technologies.

• Ability to translate business needs into reusable information structures, shared definitions, domain models, data product requirements, and practical design guidance.

• Experience working in a federated operating model, partnering with Data Owners, Data Governance, Data Operations, and technology delivery teams.

• Experience supporting multi-year strategy, transformation, or technology deployment initiatives with focus on information management, data management, data products, analytics, or AI enablement.

• Strong ability to operate across business and technology stakeholders, simplify complex technical topics, and communicate the value of information architecture to senior and cross-functional audiences.

• Proven track record of building partnerships, influencing without authority, inspiring change, and delivering results across complex global ecosystems.

• Experience creating standards, playbooks, templates, architecture review criteria, or adoption materials for business and technology audiences.

• Good knowledge and understanding of data governance, data quality, data contracts, data product certification, lineage, access controls, and operating models for governed data products.

• Good knowledge and understanding of using automation, AI-assisted workflows, or agentic AI capabilities to accelerate data modelling, metadata curation, semantic modelling, or data quality processes.

• Energetic, accountable, curious, collaborative, and committed to continuous learning and capability building.
