About the Job 

Our team members are at the heart of everything we do. At World Courier (a Cencora company), we are united in our responsibility to create healthier futures, and every person here is essential to us being able to deliver on that purpose. If you want to make a difference at the center of health, come join our innovative company and help us improve the lives of people and animals everywhere. Apply today! 

This role will sit within the Global Data and Technology Solutions (GDATs) organization in World Courier and is a key member of the leadership team. We’re re-imagining IT — not as a support function, but as a strategic partner to the World Courier business. 

We exist to help the organisation rise, adapt, and grow, using technology that is innovative, integrated, reliable, secure and designed around real operational needs. 

The Senior Director of Technology Architecture plays a pivotal role in making that ambition real. 

Why this role matters 

This role sits at the intersection of business ambition and technology delivery. 

We’re looking for someone who can listen deeply to the business, understand what really matters, and then guide the design of technology solutions that are practical, scalable, and future-ready. You’ll help define technology roadmaps, shape demand, and make confident technology decisions that support white-glove, global pharmaceutical logistics operations. 

This is a role for someone who: 

• enjoys partnering across multi-functional, globally-matrixed teams 

• creates innovative and pragmatic solution options 

• works to stay ahead of technology trends 

• can balance creating solutions for today with meeting strategic goals 

What you’ll do 

Be a true business partner 

As a member of the IT leadership team for World Courier, you’ll work closely with leaders across operations, quality, regulatory, commercial, customer services and finance teams to understand their challenges and opportunities. 

You’ll help shape ideas into clear solution options that align with business goals and regulatory realities. 

You’ll build lasting relationships with our vendors to help build our technology innovation road maps. 

Set architectural direction with purpose 

You’ll own and evolve our target architecture for World Courier and solution architecture for key priority projects — ensuring systems, data, integrations, and platforms work together as a coherent whole. You’ll balance today’s delivery needs with tomorrow’s strategy, keeping us secure, resilient, and adaptable. 

Shape demand, not just respond to it 

You’ll lead our architecture and analysis capability to ensure scope of work and solutions are well-defined, prioritized, and outcome-focused. You’ll challenge constructively, simplify where possible, and help the business focus on what will deliver the greatest value. 

You’ll
