We are on a mission to unlock digital value for every customer, faster, smarter, and with greater impact than ever before.
To accelerate this ambition and strengthen our ability to scale digital services with consistency, quality, and speed, we are extending the Digital & Technical Chapter with a critical leadership role at the intersection of architecture, deployment, and adoption.
This role ensures that our digital architectures are not only technically sound, but also deployable, adopted, and scalable globally, supported by a strong Architecture Library as a single source of truth.
Why this role exists
As Schneider Electric scales digital services and connectivity across segments and geographies, the key challenge is no longer just defining architecture, but ensuring it is:
- Standardised
- Consumable
- Adopted consistently in the field
This role brings together three critical capabilities into a single accountable leader:
- Connectivity architecture & operationalisation
- Adoption & field enablement
- Architecture library ownership & evangelisation
The objective is to close the gap between design and execution, ensuring what we define becomes what is deployed, and what is deployed continuously improves the model
Strategic Mission & How We Deliver Value We work hand-in-hand with One Service organisation, LoBs, and Digital Energy teams to ensure our customers benefit from simple, reliable, and scalable connectivity and digital architectures .
Our mission is to:
- Define clear, standardised architecture patterns and connection frameworks
- Act as an SME and support offer creation and technology conversation
- Drive global adoption across IoT and DSA communities, Technical Sales, and Service Operations, working cross-functionally with commercial, delivery, product, platform, and field stakeholders to ensure end-to-end alignment from architecture design to deployment and operation.
- Provide field-ready playbooks, tools, and guidance
- Continuously improve through structured feedback loops from real deployments
- Act as product owner and evangelist of the Architecture Library , ensuring it becomes the trusted reference for all scenario architectures, onboarding flows, commissioning standards, and reusable digital assets.
Key Responsibilities
- Connectivity Architecture & Operationalisation
- Define and drive standard connection patterns across offers and segments
- Support end-to-end interoperability and testing frameworks
- Define troubleshooting patterns and field-ready guidelines
- Maintain connection lifecycle standards in the Architecture Library
- Support pilots and early deployment of new connectivity technologies
- Adoption & Field Enablement
- Drive global adoption of approved architectures, specifications, and commissioning practices
- Plan and deliver enablement programs
- Ensure consistent execution across Sales, Technical Sales, and Service Operations
- Provide hands-on support for early deployments and pilots
- Act as a technical escalation point for connectivity and digital value topics
- Architecture Library Ownership & Evangelisation
- Own the Architecture Library as a product, ensuring it is Simple, Usable, and Scalable
