(Archived) Mergers & Acquisitions and Enterprise Architecture Process Specialist, Tech & Digital

*Open to remote candidates*

Position Summary

The IT organization, Zoetis Tech & Digital (ZTD), is reshaping to provide premier services and solutions to a fast paced, growing business. Growth is both organic and through a steady stream of acquisitions.

We are seeking an experienced colleague to join our Mergers, Acquisitions, and Divestitures (MA/D) and Enterprise Architecture team. For our MA/D activities, this role will focus on activities starting with the point of valuation through due diligence for any given deal and ensuring a smooth handoff to the execution team. This role requires an individual who is process oriented but with a continuous-improvement mindset who can help advance our MA/D framework, and an individual with a mature background in Enterprise Architecture (EA) to be a key player in the formation of our EA practice.

The pairing of MA/D and EA will help move our ZTD organization forward in Due Diligence strategic vision and execution optimization with an equivalent focus on building our enterprise application, infrastructure, data, and digital architecture framework.

This role requires strong cross functional communication, management and leadership skills to effectively represent ZTD to global, cross-functional stakeholders and executives, both internal to ZTD and with our business partner.

This role will require an individual who is comfortable working in quick paced and dynamic organization. While the role is an individual contributor role, there are many cross functional relationships the successful candidate will need to establish and maintain in order to be successful.
