Sr. Director, Medtech Technology Digital Factory Leader, Enterprise Resource Planning & Digital Transformation

Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson · Pharma · Raritan, NJ +1

This role leads the "Digital Factory" for MedTech ERP & Digital Transformation programs, focusing on end-to-end delivery execution (build, test automation, deployment). A key responsibility is applying the "AI Agents workflow model" to accelerate delivery and improve predictability across the development lifecycle, from requirements to operational handover. The role involves managing delivery partners, ensuring compliance (SOX/GxP), and driving continuous improvement through a data-driven operating system. It also emphasizes talent management for AI roles and aligning performance to AI/automation outcomes.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own and run the build factory end-to-end, including leadership of factory leads and delivery partners, vendor/statement-of-work execution, adherence to controls and compliance requirements (e.g., SOX/GxP where applicable), and clear reporting to executive governance.
  2. Industrialized ERP delivery across the transformation portfolio by establishing a repeatable, data driven build/test/deploy operating system (factory model), including a standard flow of work, quality gates, release governance, and efficiency management across waves and programs.
  3. Apply the AI Agents workflow model to accelerate delivery and improve predictability—partnering with the Acceleration Office to embed agent-enabled flow of work across requirements-to-build, test design/execution, defect management, deployment readiness, and operational handover.
  4. Lead testing automation and deployment at scale, including test strategy, automated regression, CI/CD enablement, release orchestration, cutover planning, and environment management to ensure high-quality, compliant, and timely go-lives.
  5. Lead a distributed team of internal and external professionals, actively encouraging the growth and development of critical talent across MedTech and J&J.
