Johnson & Johnson announced plans to separate our Orthopedics business to establish a standalone orthopedics company, operating as DePuy Synthes. The planned separation is subject to legal requirements, regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions and approvals.

Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. Details of any planned changes would be provided at an appropriate time and subject to any vital consultation processes.

What's in it for you?

As a Data Platform Manager, you will own the strategy, architecture, engineering standards, and roadmap for the modern data platform that enables trusted data products, digital applications, analytics, and AI across Orthopedics. You will lead the Data Foundation initiative to overhaul the current data ecosystem and establish a scalable lakehouse using Databricks, cloud services, and medallion architecture.

You will create reusable ingestion, transformation, testing, governance, and observability capabilities that allow teams to onboard data and deliver business-ready products consistently and efficiently. You will also provide technical leadership for business separation activities, ensuring platform continuity and alignment with future-state interpersonal needs.

This role combines strategic platform ownership with hands-on technical leadership, people and vendor management, and multi-functional partnership. If you are energized by building reusable platform capabilities and turning strategy into measurable business outcomes, this is an opportunity to make a substantial impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and implement the Data Platform and Data Foundation strategy, target architecture, roadmap, engineering standards, and measurable outcomes.
• Lead the design and evolution of a scalable Databricks lakehouse using medallion architecture, reusable data products, and cloud-native services.
• Design, build, and scale reusable, metadata-driven data ingestion and data pipeline frameworks, including batch and streaming patterns, source onboarding, transformation, orchestration, schema evolution, auditability, and embedded data-quality controls.
• Establish platform engineering standards for data modeling, code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, documentation, security, performance, cost efficiency, and production readiness.
