Director, Domain Architect - Global Operational Technology

Overview As the Global Operational Technology (OT) Domain Architect, you will define and govern the architecture strategy, standards, reference architectures, and technology roadmaps for PepsiCo's Operational Technology landscape. You will provide architecture leadership across IT/OT convergence, OT architecture governance, OT data & information architecture, OT systems management (OTSM), Industry 4.0 architecture enablement, and OT modernization strategy initiatives supporting PepsiCo's operational environments across Manufacturing, Warehousing, and other operational technology-enabled environments.

You will partner with Engineering, Controls Engineering, Infrastructure, Network Engineering, Compute & Hosting, Cybersecurity, Data & AI, Product, Transformation, and Domain Architecture teams to define integrated architecture strategies, standards, and roadmaps supporting secure, resilient, scalable, and future-ready operational technology ecosystems.

You will serve as the primary architecture leader for the OT domain, ensuring alignment across operational technology, enterprise technology, automation, and emerging Industry 4.0 capabilities through architecture standards, governance frameworks, reference architectures, and technology roadmaps. Responsibilities OT Domain Strategy & Architecture:

Define and maintain the Operational Technology domain strategy, standards, reference architectures, principles, and multi-year technology roadmaps. Establish architecture direction supporting IT/OT convergence, OT modernization, operational resiliency, and future operational technology capabilities. Evaluate emerging operational technologies in partnership with Technology Strategy, Innovation, and Engineering teams, and define scalable adoption approaches aligned to enterprise standards, business priorities, and long-term technology strategy. Define architecture enablement strategies supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives including industrial AI, robotics, autonomous operations, advanced sensing, industrial automation, and future operational technologies.

Define architecture frameworks supporting convergence of IT and OT capabilities while maintaining operational safety, reliability, availability, and security requirements. Establish OT architecture governance frameworks, reference architectures, standards, and decision frameworks supporting global operational environments. Drive alignment of OT capabilities with enterprise architecture, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, and operational technology strategies. Facilitate cross-functional architecture alignment across Engineering, Operations, Infrastructure, Security, Data & AI, and Enterprise Architecture teams.

Define reference architectures and integration patterns supporting OT lifecycle management, incident management, operational monitoring, observability, and operational support capabilities. Establish architecture principles that balance enterprise consistency with OT requirements for operational continuity and low-latency environments. Define reference architectures supporting integrated IT/OT operating models and governance frameworks. Promote architectural consistency and standardization across operational environments globally.

Define OT data architecture principles, information models, classification standards, interoperability requirements, and architecture governance frameworks. Partner with Data & AI teams to align OT information architecture and data integration requirements with enterprise data standards and platforms. Define architecture patterns supporting OT data acquisition, integration, visibility, observability, and interoperability across operational technology and enterprise technology environments. Promote consistency of OT data models, metadata standards, information structures, and data exchange patterns across
