Engineering Director, Architecture & Enablement AbbVie’s Allergan Aesthetics technology organization is seeking an Engineering Director, Architecture & Enablement to lead a team of highly senior Engineering Solution Architects responsible for shaping and guiding the technical execution of our most complex initiatives. This is a senior engineering leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of architecture, execution, and organizational influence. You will lead a team of staff-level technical leaders who work across engineering teams, systems, and program increments to define solution architecture, surface dependencies early, develop high-level estimates, orchestrate technical alignment, and help ensure successful execution against delivery commitments. This role is not about owning day-to-day coding teams. It is about leading the technical function that helps those teams succeed on the work that matters most. You and your team will be trusted to bring clarity to complexity, reduce delivery risk, strengthen technical decision-making, and improve confidence in execution across the portfolio. This is also a rare opportunity to help shape the technology behind one of the most recognized aesthetics portfolios in the world — including products such as BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® — and the digital platforms that power the leading loyalty experience in the market. The work is meaningful, visible, and directly connected to customer and business outcomes. The Engineering Director, Architecture & Enablement is a member of the Technology Leadership Team (TLT) for AA Tech and reports directly to the VP Technology, Allergan Aesthetics. Senior Technical Leadership You will lead and develop a team of senior, staff-level Engineering Solution Architects who serve as technical leads across major cross-team initiatives. This team plays a central role in helping the organization execute complex work successfully by driving: End-to-end solution architecture across teams and systems Technical dependency mapping and sequencing High-level estimates and level-of-effort alignment Technical orchestration across engineering teams and managers Early identification and resolution of architectural gaps and delivery risks Sustained technical guidance through execution to keep initiatives on track In addition to leading this team, you will help mature architecture standards, reference patterns, and technical guidelines across the organization. These capabilities matter, but they are secondary to the core mission: enabling strong technical execution and predictable delivery for complex initiatives.

Lead, coach, and develop a team of senior Engineering Solution Architects, setting clear expectations and creating a culture of accountability, sound judgment, and high technical impact. Deploy the architecture team to the organization’s highest-priority and most complex initiatives, ensuring the right technical leadership is applied where it matters most. Oversee end-to-end solution architecture for major cross-team efforts, including technical sequencing, dependency planning, and high-level solution design. Guide high-level estimates and level-of-effort assessments in partnership with engineering leaders to improve planning quality and delivery confidence. Drive alignment across engineering teams, managers, and stakeholders
