Your mission: Unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence and modern data architectures for our business and translate them into measurable business value.

In a technology-leading industrial environment, you are a catalyst for change: You ask the right questions, test assumptions with data, and drive innovation forward with vision, collaborative leadership, and in close alignment with the Global Function IT.

What we offer you

• An attractive remuneration package
• Access to Siemens share plans

Your mission: Shape innovation and transformation

• Identify and leverage AI opportunities across the entire SI EP value chain—from R&D and manufacturing to supply chain and sales—while strictly distinguishing sustainable business cases from short-term hype.
• Integrate cutting-edge best practices from diverse industries and external environments to drive internal innovation.
• Lead a global team of data architects, AI consultants, and developers, fostering a culture of professional excellence, constructive dissent, and continuous experimentation.
• Collaborate with business units and management to identify, prioritize, and implement data and AI initiatives backed by solid business cases, measurable ROI, and a consistent "fail-fast" project culture.
• Oversee the data and AI architecture, ensuring top-tier security, compliance, and governance while implementing pragmatic solutions to accelerate innovation cycles within these guardrails.
• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle, operation, and continuous evolution of IT solutions.
• Align closely with Global Function IT platform owners to ensure seamless integration and synergy across the organization.
• Evaluate emerging technologies to proactively introduce new approaches and anchor a data-driven mindset throughout the company.
