• Model and govern taxonomies, ontologies, and architecture elements across business, information, application, and technology domains.
• Design and further develop the semantic architecture landscape supporting product information creation, management, and reuse.
• Define architecture principles, modeling standards, governance processes, and best practices.
• Analyze and model complex relationships between products, product information, business processes, organizational structures, and IT systems.
• Collaborate closely with PLM, Enterprise Architecture, Information Management, and other Center of Competence teams to ensure architectural consistency.
• Support strategic transformation initiatives through architecture consulting, impact assessments, and solution design activities.
• Ensure traceability between business, technical, quality, and regulatory requirements within architecture models.
• Contribute to the evolution of enterprise architecture capabilities supporting Digital Thread, Digital Twin, Systems Engineering, and Model-Based Engineering.
• Promote standardization, reuse, and scalability of architecture assets across the global organization.
• Support the development and maintenance of long-term architecture roadmaps for the Corporate PLM Office.
• Own the quality, consistency, and governance of the PLM enterprise architecture landscape.
• Ensure harmonized definitions of business objects, information entities, relationships, and architecture elements across all PLM domains.
• Maintain and evolve semantic architecture models as a foundation for integrations, automation, analytics, and digital capabilities.
• Act as a trusted advisor for architecture-related decisions, methodologies, and modeling approaches.
