What you’ll do

Reporting to the Accelerator DT Manufacturing, Make, R&D and QFS Domain Sr. Manager, this role is part of the Digital Technologies organization supporting Accelerator, including KIND, Tru Fru, Nature's Bakery, and the newly acquired Kellanova brands. The role is responsible for shaping and governing technology solutions across the TLT portfolio, including Supply Chain, Planning, Manufacturing, Logistics, and R&D/QFS, while defining technology roadmaps, evaluating solution options, establishing architecture standards, and identifying opportunities to leverage AI, Digital Twins, advanced analytics, and emerging technologies that support Accelerator's long-term digital strategy.

As Accelerator continues to evolve, this role will provide architecture leadership across multiple business priorities, serving as a trusted advisor who bridges business and technology to shape future-state capabilities, guide investment decisions, and drive scalable, integrated solutions across the enterprise. Working closely with business stakeholders, product teams, Enterprise Architecture, and delivery partners, this individual will combine architecture expertise with strong business analysis skills to assess opportunities, translate business requirements into solution recommendations, support vendor evaluations and RFPs, shape initiatives from concept through delivery, and provide hands-on problem solving across the TLT portfolio. The role balances strategic planning with day-to-day execution, helping ensure solutions are practical, standardized, and scalable while fostering innovation, reducing technical debt, and preventing one-off solutions that limit future growth.
