Biogen is seeking an accomplished Associate Director, Enterprise Architecture to define and govern the technology architecture supporting our Global Commercial & Medical (GCM) organization. This senior individual-contributor role ensures technology solutions align with business strategy, regulatory expectations, and compliance requirements while delivering secure, scalable, and business-value-driven outcomes.
As the lead architect for the Commercial and Medical domains, you will own the target-state architecture, business capability roadmap, and integration strategy across a diverse ecosystem of platforms and applications. You will proactively identify capability gaps, reduce duplication and fragmentation, and guide architecture decisions that improve speed-to-market, reduce risk, and strengthen long-term technology scalability.
Working closely with business and IT leaders, you will translate strategic priorities — including new product launches, international expansion, acquisitions, omnichannel engagement, and medical communications — into actionable technology roadmaps. This role is critical to simplifying the GCM technology landscape, enabling innovation, and ensuring Commercial & Medical platforms are future-ready.

Who You Are

You are a strategic enterprise architect who understands how technology decisions create business value. You bring the ability to connect business strategy, capability needs, platform architecture, and delivery execution into a clear, actionable technology direction.
You are comfortable operating as a senior advisor and influencer across global business and IT teams. You can simplify complex technology topics for non-technical stakeholders, guide teams through ambiguity, and drive alignment without relying on direct authority.
You are future-focused, practical, and outcome-oriented — able to assess emerging technologies such as AI, automation, and cloud services, while ensuring solutions remain secure, compliant, scalable, and aligned to business priorities.

Impact of the Role

In this role, you will help ensure GCM technology decisions translate into measurable business value. Your work will enable faster launch readiness, improved scalability, reduced system redundancy, smoother integration of new capabilities or acquisitions, and a more simplified, future-ready technology landscape.
You will play a key role in helping Biogen’s Commercial and Medical organizations move faster, reduce risk, and maximize long-term value from technology investments.
