Seeking a Digital Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Enterprise Technology Lead senior technology executive and client business development leader to serve as a trusted advisor and the face of IBM to Pharma/Biotech manufacturing clients. The successful candidate brings 15+ years of experience leading enterprise-wide digital transformation in regulated pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and biotech manufacturing environments. The role partners with senior operations, quality, and technology leaders to align technology strategy. In this role, you are a seasoned pharma and biotech manufacturing consultant who pairs deep domain and technical expertise with executive presence. You communicate with clarity and authority, lead through influence, and are equally effective in a boardroom, a design workshop, or on the manufacturing floor. Clients see you as a partner who understands their science, their regulators, and their business.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Shape the client's digital manufacturing vision. Define and execute AI-enabled digital manufacturing roadmaps that unify ERP, MES, LIMS, QMS, EHS, serialization, advanced planning, and shop-floor/edge systems into a connected, validated operating model governed by FDA and GMP requirements.
  • Lead greenfield and brownfield transformation. Provide architectural leadership for new manufacturing facility buildouts and modernization of existing plants — spanning clinical and commercial operations and end-to-end systems integration.
  • Modernize the technology foundation. Guide the transition to secure, resilient hybrid cloud architectures that support mission-critical, GxP-regulated operations without compromising data integrity or validated state.
  • Advise at the sr. stakeholder level. Translate business and regulatory priorities into architectural vision, solution guidance, and investment-grade roadmaps that resonate with both technical and business audiences.
  • Grow the relationship and the business. Originate, shape, and expand business opportunities — identifying where IBM capabilities create measurable client value and leading solutioning through to proposal.
  • Build lasting trust. Establish and sustain strong relationships with the client's leadership, product owners, and cross-functional stakeholders, engaging credibly with both business and technology leaders.

This job can be performed from anywhere in the U.S.

  • Pharma/Biotech Manufacturing Operations: Deep knowledge of pharma/biotech manufacturing processes — including batch management, tech transfer, and scale-up from clinical to commercial. Strong MES expertise; Preferred: hands-on experience with Körber PAS-X MES Suite or Rockwell PAS-X
  • Quality Management in Regulated Industries: Strong knowledge of end-to-end quality processes: deviations, CAPA, change control, investigations, batch disposition and release, supplier quality, audits/inspections, and Annual Product Quality Review (APQR)
  • Product Lifecycle Management (PLM / PLK): Knowledge of PLM and PLK practices across formulation, specifications, bill of materials, and recipe management
  • Regulatory Submissions & Quality Platforms: Experience with pharmaceutical regulatory submission and lifecycle processes: eCTD submissions, post-approval variations, regulatory change impact assessment, and IDMP data standards. Preferred: experience with Veeva Vault RIM, including integration with manufacturing and quality systems
  • Understanding of serialization and track-and-trace requirements
  • GxP, Validation & Data Integrity: Strong command of GxP regulations and computerized system validation (CSV)
  • Enterprise & Shop-Floor Integration: Experience architecting integrated landscapes across ERP (e.g., SAP S/4HANA), MES, LIMS, QMS, EHS, advanced planning and scheduling, historians, and OT/edge systems
  • AI & Data Foundations: Experience designing and delivering AI-driven manufacturing solutions, including establishing a foundational semantic data layer — encompassing ontologies, knowledge graphs, contextualized manufacturing data models, unified namespace, and data fabric patterns
  • Manufacturing Domain Expert, Strong MES expertise; Preferred: hands-on experience with Körber PAS-X MES Suite, Understanding of serialization and track-and-trace requirements, GxP,

Greenfield manufacturing facility buildouts experience is a big plus — experience spanning digital plant design, system selection, integration architecture, and commissioning/qualification/validation (C&Q/CQV) through operational readiness (strong plus)

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
